Great video!!! I brought this mixer at the start of the year and i agree with everything you have said. Hopefully they will be updates for the deck movement option to make it more accessible. And also they should have had a cue headphones button for deck 1 and 2 especially for the price range. But the independent pad modes and sample scratch option is incredible.
For me its the Independent pad modes, multi pad mode and the soundcard that convinced me. Everything else is just a big bonus! So im gonna buy mine today!
Agree on the headphone cue. I’m so comfortable with headphone cue buttons rather than the switch. It’s just outdated imo. Really wish they would of upgraded that.
Once you get accustomed to the cue button workflow everything else just feels so much slower in my opinion. I was sad that Rane moved to this similar cue system with the Seventy.
Great video fam! Thanks for sharing! I used to not care for the cue system until I learned the most efficient way to use it for me.. instead of turning the cue/master know I leave it on 100% cue and the use the ch1/2 slider to dial in what I need works great that way!
Great video. I'm used to the Pioneer club mixers but was considering getting this one but I think I'm going to wait it out. That Cue and the multiple touch steps has really deterred me from getting it. They need to just incorporate both styles. Thanks!
My complaint is the talk over button. It could have been on the right side or a slider switch vs. a toggle switch that is always getting caught by my headphones cord, activated the mic without notice.
Hi, I can’t get my new S11 to show waveforms or cue points on the mixer at all when using only a usb stick with cdj 2000 Nexus players. Is there a setting I have to select or does it only work with newer cdj’s like the 3000’s? Or do I have to prepare music in Rekordbox software or something for waveforms and cue points to show on the mixer? Any help is much appreciated.
To my knowledge the waveforms and performance pads only work when the S11 is plugged into a computer and do not work when using usb flash drives with CDJs.
Thank you! Great review! DJ's..: Remember, You guys 'are not' tryin to make a master mix! Your djing music skills is for the entertainment; people just want to hear 2-3 hrs of ggod musicat a ceremony of good music. 9 Please remember that! Djfastlane.
At 2:41 you called the S11 the 72 just an FYI Very good and informative!

Welcome back
Thank you so much, glad to be back!
You don't need to use the touch screen at all for deck move. SHIFT+Double Tap LOAD is the hardware control for deck move. :)
That is a handy shortcut but I still have an issue controller decks 3/4 due to having to use multiple screens on the touchscreen!
You can also set it up so that you tap the waveforms on screen to move the song to deck 3 or 4
@@PDot you can only use it on the mixer touch lcd screen or on controllers and turntables too?

I think one annoying thing for me is the x fader tension adjust moving. Its only slight at times but enough to notice.
My complaint is the talk over button. It could have been on the right side or a slider switch vs. a toggle switch that is always getting caught by my headphones cord, activated the mic without notice.
I agree, that placement is not ideal.
Is there a feature on the S11 to turn loops on and off that are preset?
I'm 2 seconds away from getting this mixer....dont' know if I can get past that headphone queue....gotta sleep on it some.

@@PDot I see. Ok good to know. Thank you!
Another great video... Nice to see you return to PDot... You're def right about the Pioneer tax... But the S7 has kind of shattered that reputation.
@Terry Jackson I'm saying that at 1400, the S7 is less than it's competition.
@@UONeal you like the s7 better ?
I was bummed they didn’t have split cue
Yes! It seems like Pioneer doesn't want to add it to their battle mixers unfortunately.
They have it now on the newest firmware update
Quite frankly. My OG Rane 72 still absolutely deficates molten hot lava feces all over this copy cat disgrace of a mixer. Byeeeee
While I wouldn’t use the phrase “molten hot lava feces”, as a Rane 72 owner for years I do agree that the S11 does copy the 72 in many ways.
You’re dreaming buddy!
@@PDot And the Rane 72 kind of copied that layout from the classic pioneer djm 909.
@@PDot which is better though?
Your bias is obvious.
Thank you for your feedback!
@@PDot youre not bias at all ,youre fair in your assessment
