Thank you. Haven't touched equipment in years. Got my CDL and started driving trucks but I'm about to make this investment and cop those Rane 12s
Thank you!!! Of all the tutorials I've watched..... You literally had me up & running in 2mins
happy to help… happy mixing
This looks like a very nice set-up... I've used 1210s connected through an S4 to utilise DVS with the added bonus of using real vinyl... but were I to go fully digital this look like a great way to go... I do love the tactile control the Rane 12 offers...
They do feel the same -and have two torque settings, Low and High, Low I believe are technic identical, and high are slightly stronger in case you have heavy hands.. For an all digital solution these 12's are a great option for sure! I do still use my technics from time to time too, I dont think they will ever be redundant lol! Happy mixing..
Nice concise video 👍🏼😎
thank you
Shoutout to the helpful tutorial!
Glad it helped! 🙏🏻 happy mixing
Great tutorial
thank you - hope it helped 🙏🏻
why hasn't Pioneer brought out something like this but where you can plug in a rekordbox prepared pen drive straight into the deck eliminating the laptop with the screen for track selection on the back of the decks or maybe the mixer. This is what I would like
Great question.. Who knows what the future will bring ;)
Can you use an hp laptop with it?
Of course - just double check your laptop is up to the required specifications of Serato DJ pro. (Check their website for latest requirements)
I can't get my mic to work. I have a dynamic mic plugged into MIC 1, i have the switch on MIC, the on button is lit. Is there anything else I need to do to get sound?
Sorry I didn’t see your comment - did you solve this? I can only guess a cable or mic issue as as far I have tested - mic should be plug and play as long as no phantom power etc is required
My turn table move but not on software? No sound help
Are you using on internal mode?
Can you connect the rane 12 mk1 or mk2 to a old school analog mixer using a rane sl1 or something like that
in theory YES - you would only be able to do this with the mk2’s as the mk1’s do not have an analogue out. and use that to go into your box or interface into your computer for serato. but yes possible 👍🏻
I have an issue. When I play the music the waves on the serato doesn't match even when the BPMs are same. Please guide me
But you didn’t go in depth showing exact cords and where they go to create sound from speakers. People want to see in depth step by step videos
Thanks - there is always room for improvement...
Hi Richie....will I need to use different USB cables if I connect to a Numark Scratch mixer? The Numark Scratch only has one USB port which is used to connect to my Macbook Air. Can I connect the Rane Twelves to a USB hub & then connect the hub to my Macbook Air? If I can, will I need different USB cables from the ones provided by Rane?
Thanks
I don’t know a definitive answer to that as I’m not familiar with the Numark Scratch mixer or what MacBook Air you have?? So I don’t want to give the wrong advice. I would suggest giving your local / or any well known DJ store a call to get their advice. I do believe with a powered hub / or high quality hub what you suggest is possible, but all that info going through one USB PORT may be a bit much for a MacBook airs processor so would be good to get a second or third opinion before moving forward - hope that helps in any way
@@djrichiedon Thanks Richie.....I've seen other videos of people setting them up using a USB hub & they say it works fine. Can you confirm if the ends of the USB cables from the Rane are rectangular (as opposed to square) & will plug into a USB hub? Thanks
Steve Bennett the usb cables that come with the 12’s are called A to B USB cable. Square ish at one end for the 12, rectangular at other for hub / computer.
@@djrichiedon Brilliant.....thanks for your help....I really appreciate it
Hi Richie...I just got some Twelves...can you please tell me if I need to calibrate them in any way in the Serato DJ Pro software settings where it shows the decks.....you know with the green circles showing the signal? Everything seems to be working OK, but I have no green circles....is that correct? Thanks
Hi. Thanks for the video! Kind of late but I Just got mines and I’m tempted to do the on/off switch in order to not to lift a bit each mk2 to get them on or off. How did that went? No damage at all with the switch?
personally I’ve been powering on and off like this since I’ve owned them, and to date no issues at all…
@@djrichiedon thanks! :)
What size cord do you use for the booth speakers? I'm looking to buy my first bedroom studio monitors for practice and want to make sure I have the right cord and the right speakers for it. I'm also using the Rane 72 and 2 Rane 12's
length of lead? I just use a 1/4 jack to phoho cable, and the length required to the link to one and daisy chain to the other. A sperate left and right would be ideal, but in my scenario this works fine. Hope this helps?
Nice bro. Any big difference in feel to your tables? Or more or less the same feeling?
matthew carey if anything a bit more snappy than 1210’s (with a little more torque it feels - which is adjustable)
My husband has the Rane 72 and Rane 12 turntables. Everything new including his Dell XPS desktop. He has been in the music industry for over 20 years and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to see Serato DJ Pro cutting out or freezing almost every single time he plays music. He has analyzed all files and it's still happening! We made sure nothing else was plugged into the USB ports and no other software was running. We have found no answers. Any suggestions or are there alternative dj softwares compatible with this setup?
With regret Nancy I can only guess it’s a computer issue.. I used an old £300 - 2012 MacBook Pro in this demo, with no issues.. I have a had a Dell once with serato scratch live and it’s kept crashing that was when I took the plunge to go mac (many years ago) since then personally I wouldn’t use anything else for my library or to run SDJ PRO..
I use an old mac still as a back up without issue so as much as I appreciate this doesn’t help answer your question can serve as an alternative that will work for sure.
If you have the Rane 12 mk2’s other software will work with them, but you’ll need another mixer. A second hand MacBook would be a cheaper place to start trouble shoot. Hope that helps in any small way - you will find a solution it may take a while.. can I quickly ask, do you have your WiFi off on the dell and has it been optimised ?? IE Turn off everything you don’t need? Or background programmes?
Go Mac... Windows laptops/desktops are a nightmare with DJ software.... just get a 2nd hand Mac mini and put that in the set-up.
Do they work with any mixer and software?
Serato DJ only - you can trial for free from Serato - See here: serato.com/dj/pro
With the new update, it works on Serato, Virtual DJ, Traktor, and Rekordbox (with midi mapping)
Where can I get some of your old school music on cd?
www.djrichiedon.com is the place for everything my man!
I don’t have rane 12s......I have Technics 1200s using control vinyls....how would I connect them???
This would be as normal so your technics go into the phono Input into the Rane 72 and the Rane 72 to your laptop with serato DJ
How do u connect the Ranes to a Mac?
1. what software / hardware are you using?
As I don’t believe it’s possible to connect direct to a mac as such? Normal setup is they would connect to the mixer via USB cable as a hardware connection, and then through to that / via your software to be able to use them as a normal turntable / controller..
but if you let me know I can try and help ✌🏻
@@djrichiedon yes i think its a straight RCA to mixer ,mixer to mac
@@RealDiggayou need a MIDI signal as well, as these are in theory midi controllers too.. do you have a USB cable you can connect to your mixer (if this has a USB socket?
Another way I may be able to help is, want mixer are you using / and what DJ software - then we can be certain how to connect up
How have you set yours to have the discs so slippery? Even though i use Dr Suzuki slipmats, i have to keep pulling the quick release adapters up to have them slippery. Do you know a permanent solution for that?
Hey Primo - have you tried the original slipmatts that come with the 12’s? Not that I use them but just thinking of other ways we can test. The only way of adjusting is with the quick release adaptor.. pushing the pin in. Slightly pull the vinyl up, away from the Slipmatt and then release the pin in the quick release. It’s all I can think of as this is what adjusts the distance between the vinyl and Slipmatt / platter. How thick are the Suzuki slipmatts as I’ve not seen them before. Hope you can get it sorted 💪🏻
@@djrichiedon I've tried the stock ones and they are quite grippy without a plastic sheet underneath. The Dr Suzuki Skratch are slightly thicker than the stock, but way more slippery.
Yeah, that's pretty much how i adjust it currently, by pulling the adapter up. Unfortunately that quick locking system is only made to lock the disc to the spindle, not really to adjust it to different heights, so it drops back down when i start scratching...
Do you just use butter rugs and the clear vinyl on them?
Use the supplied spacers / washers O rings... I have had to add three to each deck under the slipmat of course works a dream spin backs are nice and quick
@@noopz27 This^^
Had a question when I turn on my Rane 72 I’m
Only getting use out of one of my 12s what am I doing wrong
Have you swapped the 12’s over to see if the same issue occurs on the same side? Or the issue is transferred with the 12?
May I know where you get the clear vinyl?
Hey Johnny they are just the searto clear timecodes, with the 3 holes drilled that are requried for the 12's. easy peasy
