I haven’t Djayed in over 20 years and my son showed me this video and I have to have it now just for the love and appreciation but everything is confusing not like the old plug and play days just always buy needles and records, I’m hooked great content!!! You have to get it to learn it plane and simple.
back in the day it was so much easier to just grab needles, get vinyl and plug in. These days, you have to make sure your laptop is compatible (unless it's a stand-alone unit). if you want to go back to that feeling of just turn on and go, I'd suggest checking out a stand-alone controller that denon, numark or pioneer put out. they're great too.
Hi Thanks for the review Which of the effects (stem and others) of the rane performer can be applied on sound comming from externat analog sl1200 ? Being an old Guy I still like to work with my technics in // with DJ software ;-) Thanks
great question. I honestly forgot when I tested. there were fx that did work. I believe echo did. Serato FX won't work of course. Filter will always work.
DJing for 38 years now, coming from TT'S, performed for up to 13.000 People - music only, no sports, Sports would be 20.000 plus.... So my 5 Cents... Great review from one Pro from the wild out there. i always watch Mojaxx and Cleveland Terry. you are my 3rd option now. Anyway: Rane and/or Serato will be judged, if this is rock solid or has fails like the FOUR! If it is - rock solid? I'll buy it. Coming actually from Macbook M1 2 TB, 1210's MK 5`s, 2 Mixars DUO (one in spare if guests spills drinks), Dicers, SP-1, 2 x PHASE DJ (for longer performance than 8 hours) plus not only the NS7 i in the past, but also 2 NS7 iii's, testing and definetely NOT beeing OK with the ONE (the NS7 iii's were ahead and far better on the workflow), it might be a choice. If it is reliable 100%, 99,99 % is not enough.
I'm 50+ gigs in. Sports, corporate, luxe events and TV stuff... I love this controller. It's the best thing that I've added to my performance sets. Prior to this, my preference was 2 turntables, phase and a 72. That's pretty much been my go-to since I started in the 90's. This is the first piece of gear that really made me think: what took me so long to adopt technology?
Good to see all the Performer stuff coming out today, finally. Can't wait for the next stream. Still working my skillz to be a better "beginner" dj. - Sgt__Z
That is some bit of kit 🔥 I’ve always been pioneer but this has definitely thrown me the other way now. I love how you say there’s just as much torque as 1210s there so in affect there the future of turntables right there and with 4 channels too! Class 👏
Thank you nono. I'm a turntable guy first. Controller second. But this is the first controller that has made me think otherwise because of all of the possibilities. During my testing I even hooked up turntables and went 2 channels serato and 2 channels vinyl
I can’t wait to buy this thing in a few weeks. I’m still using my original CDJ-1000’s to mix with. Still burning CDs and stacking CD books with all my music. I recently bought the new m3 MacBook Pro. Since I now have that, I wanted to upgrade my pioneer equipment. I don’t know much about stand alone units and controllers, I was just going to buy CDJ-3000s and that 6-channel pioneer mixer to replace my current equipment…I believe it’s the Pioneer DJm-10 mixer. However, I’ve decided to hold off because one of these units seems to make more sense for me. Im just a bedroom DJ since 1999-2000. Since Sam Ash in Springfield, NJ is closing I went shopping there and, luckily, I found a Denon Prime Go for only $699 brand new. I grabbed that to help me familiarize myself with how these modern DJ machine work. I might give Virtual DJ a try with that Denon Prime Go. I’ll see how I like the Engine DJ software first. Thanks for this upload. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Be well. ✌️
@mykalmatters8322 the 3000s are GREAT!! the 3000s and an A9 are my favorite cd setup. The M3 will change your life! So much power there. Hit up Brandon_Flynn@sweetwater.com for the performer or gear discount. Let him know I sent you
So Yoshi are u using both.. Slip Mat Rings???, i Wants to Get the Best Scratch Sound???, Please Let me know????? Thanks and What Record Pool are you Using????
@@DJYoshiVideos Thank you! Talked to Brandon, very nice guy. But there was a strong possibility I would run into issues with customs and duty fees. But I called around locally and they arrived today in Canada! Just picked one up!
Dj yoshi, you helped me on the performer on a dj site, and because of that I started following you on TH-cam, I want to ask another question about the Rane performer, when I hit stems on the performer, it doesn’t work right away even In my stems crate, can you tell me why I have such a delay on my stems? It takes about 8 bars before it even starts to work, sometime longer, what am I doing wrong??
My man Yoshi thanks for sharing this with us! Wow since Nov/Dec you’ve been playing with it, I’m gonna have to see if I can sell My flx10 and rock this Rane Performer.
Keep both! It's always good to have backups and other setups. And yes, I was fortunate to be one of the outside testers to go as hard as I could in the units
@@DJYoshiVideos I have a couple back ups but not as advanced as My flx10 so I’ll keep it and then invest in the Performer. Since it’s dedicated to Serato it would be great to take advantage of all the features. Thanks for your expertise!
Honestly that's the first time I've ever had that requested... similar to showing cents on pitch. I'll have to scroll through all of the display settings, but the information displayed is directly imported from serato to the performer screens
only thing i hate is the square play and pause button.... pioneer needs to hurry up make something it just needs a horizontal mode for the display in firmware and im buying
Because that's what other DJs use to and have drivers for ....when it's a club and many DJs use 1 controller and 10% use rane and 90 everywhere venue have pioneer @@DJYoshiVideos
I wonder how the rane controller will compliment a purist like me who's into way back vintage sounds of the 60s Rnb , , dub & northern soul , psyche rock , surf ,disco & early pop . Without making it sound like modern dance ,or trance. Be real creative & isolate sounds . I want to use thet latest technology to pay homage , show respect to the past masters
Does it sound digital? Yes. If you're playing digital music then that's the result. If you play off vinyl, then it's great. Tone is warm and pleasant. I did test vinyl from the 30's to current during my time with it
🫡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😩😚😅nice Review bro’ DJ YOSHI’ i owns Performer & RANE 4’….. i loves it!!! just started figuring it out’, its Dope’….. RANE has Hit Home Run’🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊, Whats So Sad, dj’s who didn’t update drivers & Firmware should feel silly🙄🤧🤣🫵🏼, and they went crazy throwing stones @ Rane smh,😂PERFORMER is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, Good Review, and i hope Rane makes a Better Brochure???? for Rane4 & Performer Too!!!!! BOTH got Options & Different ‘….. Weight Specs definitely 28 pds to be Exact, but Not a issue….. Built Tough… Period’……
Class Compliancy I believe was based off of how Apple prioritized MIDI over Audio in what Rane was attempting to accomplish. IMO Rane will keep on writing the drivers as long as Apple allows them to within their OS to keep the performer in use for years to come.

@rodneymcdaniel2482 be careful with that processor. Monitor your core temps.... alder and tiger lake versions run notoriously hot.

Great review Yoshi! Definitely have this on my list.
@djgraffiti thanks Graff. Hit up my guy at Sweetwater when you're ready!
I didn't even know there was a second version of the Rane Four! When did that come out, and what changed?
the 2nd version of the Four has the Orange writing on it. It came out in late 2023 I believe.
Thanks for posting this!
glad I could help
Can you change the display BPM to show 2 decimals?
Honestly that's the first time I've ever had that requested... similar to showing cents on pitch. I'll have to scroll through all of the display settings, but the information displayed is directly imported from serato to the performer screens
@@DJYoshiVideos Thanks for replying! Interesting my Serato shows two decimal places but the Performer only shows one.
How does this differ from the Rane 4 besides the motorized platter? Ty
The fx are a little different. The channel faders are precision feel so they're adjustable
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you mustard. your support is always appreciated
Tnx👍
Thank you for stopping and checking the video out
we got some beat up boxes from shipping
formal? where did you order it from?
only thing i hate is the square play and pause button.... pioneer needs to hurry up make something
it just needs a horizontal mode for the display in firmware and im buying
