What i appreciate about Atrak he doesnt pass judgment or try to say what you should do he's open to everything and music doesn't shame u to any which way. Such an inspiration!
A-Trak is a class act. I remember purchasing the DMC VHS and watching A-Trak kill it and gave the crowd the middle finger during his set...classic. I have the 70, just got it about a month ago and have no regrets. I love the look of the A-Trak edition and if I can get those plates to switch out mine, without the A-Trak name, I will. It would look nice with my silver 1200s. Great interview and nice of A-Trak to share his thoughts on your 5 questions.
What I love about this mixer is very few people seem to hear what he actually did to the sound curve..which says a lot about the DJ crowd. It‘s a new level of depth and 3D in the lowend, pressure, pop, yet extremely clear, it has a color like expensive boutique audio gear (which never gets used because of ‚neutral‘ sound but because of coloration), also incredibly punchy transients. I love to simply play tracks through it because it sounds so nice and just a tad different than the original song. I hope many ‚DJs’ stay focused on funtionality so they sleep on this hidden gem just because pioneer has effect X or Y which this one hasn‘t, it‘s also great to have that nasty logo all over the faceplate to weeb out insecure DJs who won’t use it because of their inflated egos..and miss out on this masterpiece. Thanks so much for this incredibly helpful video, also do you know how limited this mixer actually is? Some say it‘s 1000 pieces total, but I never heard anything decisive.. Mark my words: upcoming rane mixers will have a similar sound curve, about time because the other rane models sound unexciting and too boosted in the mids.
&V Singh yes, & lots of people think they sound better than Pioneer DJ. I have no idea though, I’ve never used a Rane mixer. Still using my Pioneer DJM400 with my 1210’s. I’d love to try some of the Rane offerings though!
@@lustforlow-end6022 I have the Pioneer Djm 909 before that I had the Rane and the first thing I noticed was the sound signature on the rane is warmer and brighter on the Pioneer. I got the Pioneer because I'm a massive fan of Jazzy Jeff and he used the Pioneer Hah. DJ Grandmaster Flash uses Rane and I just remember his sets sounding incredible.
So I used to have the Rane sixty two and considering doing this upgrade. On the 62 you have this "usb-in" fx-button that makes the serato-effects post fader. What about the serato software effects on the a-trak edition: can you choose to set them post fader?
Just ordered 1,can’t wait to add it to my 72 and 62 mixers. Buying it for use but also a collector’s item. To me it’s no different than buying a sneaker with someone’s name on it. Maybe if I still did clubs but even than I may use it. I don’t worry what people think never did.
Given your previous comments about the price hike of the limited edition Pioneer DDJ-1000-OW, how does this stack up against a standard Rane Seventy costing a couple hundred pounds / dollars less?
@@HouseJackBuilt not a gain knob a separate up fader. You can do more with with an up fader than a gain knob like the sample up fader on the DDJ SX and DDJ SX2. Works great!
The technology moves forward but nothing has changed for the actual core of DJing. Looks like people are just overthinking things these days. It is as simple as he says. Just get in front of a gear, start playing music you like and try to elevate it by creating seamless transitions and combinations which give those tracks new meaning. Also the whole set should be a story telling with a progress not just throwing random tracks here and there.

Completely agree
Legends. Appreciate you both. 🦾🦾
Any chance of adding FX to the sampler?

It has apparently proved really popular
Rane mixers also have a nice warm sound to them which is much appreciated

Nice one :)

Pretty sure they already are by default (like 99% sure, but can't check right now).
Hey thanks for sharing your knowledge
One question, which speakers you use in the studio with this mixer?
We test with all types of gear, why do you ask?
@@digitaldjtips I just buy technics and this mixer but now I’m looking for the sound for my studio
Any suggestions?
This would be great for Techno
Definitely :)
It is
Going back to Analogue ..old stool... and vinyl records ..this mixer might be the best for Vinyl only no DVS
Overkill a bit for just vinyl, though.
What are the Rane Turntables properties Pros Cons Etc.To be a bit check do they plat vinyl ....
No, they have no tonearm so they can’t play vinyl. They’re controllers for dj software.
Great interview! I really want to track down his performance with John Zorn and Bill Laswell now.
Thanks!

This has been tweaked by a real DJ not a fashion designer, and has actual new features, not just a paint job.
This dude is a class act..
Agreed :)
why not have a separate up fader for the effects so this way you can still control the channel 1 or 2 volumes? just sayin.
Gain knob?
@@HouseJackBuilt not a gain knob a separate up fader. You can do more with with an up fader than a gain knob like the sample up fader on the DDJ SX and DDJ SX2. Works great!
The simple answer is A-Trak/Rane didn't want it that way :)
This was exactly my first thought!
Xone dB series had that bass Boost...
Yeah :)
well sed A-TACK on djing
HAVE FUN IS THE BEST
Agreed :)
This dude iz tha GOAT
For sure :)
