![The MOTORISED Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 Review [& DJ Jazzy Jeff Demo]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P-Trw_JVdHM/mqdefault.jpg)
Best rundown on the Rev7 that I’ve seen. Extremely well done. 👊🏾
Right on, I appreciate that Marcian!
Even til this day, no one else has this amount of details for their thoughts on REV 7. Very unique in the thoughts here and provides more insight then the usual immediate reviews of the REV 7! I'm between REV 5 and REV 7, the 3, 4 deck mixing capabilities is lacking on the 7, but I might have to wait till a revamped model of the 7 (maybe REV10?) comes out with that to be really a true open-format DJing experience. lol
Props for giving cash money, a shout. Peace ✌ out
Lots of reviews out there and you have nailed the review! I like the way you show and explain what the controller does. I look forward to future reviews from you sir! Well done!!
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching
Great review and love the unit break apart!
Ive been watching a bunch of videos on the Rev7 and Rane One. This is hands down the best video revue I have seen yet. And. it has giving me the pitch+. in the Rev7 direction. Thanks for putting this video together.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it
This is a great and honest review of the Rev 7. I had the opportunity to play on the Rev 7 back in September of this year and I’ll say your assessment is spot on
I appreciate this review. Well done, I’ll be getting mine soon. Indy represent 🎉
Hands down the best review of this product i bought mine exactly after watching keep them coming.
Thanks, will do! I don't think you'll regret it. Amazing piece of gear.
Great video. I just ordered mine, can’t wait to get it. 🙌🏼
You're gonna love it. Let us know if you have any questions!
Dude. This was the most indepth review I've seen. I've had mine for 2 months and didn't know I could hold down the effect and switch to a different one using the library knob. I was using the utility application. So thanks 😁
That’s a useful action for sure, glad the video helped!
Thanks for the great review 💪🏽💪🏽
Bro you need more followers. The best review I've seen. Keep it up
I really appreciate that, thank you. Tell your friends! 😂
Great review after a decent amount of use. I agree with your points and love my unit and it’s functionality. I have a dvs system as well and it’s great being able to use both in different settings.
You’re right, we live in a time of such great equipment that we’re able to supply specific setups where they’ll work best
Great show! Very informative!
Right on, thanks Naz!
I currently own the SRT-1000 and have been keeping my eye on the Rev-7. Thank you for the very detail review and even sharing some hiccups you’ve experienced with the equipment.
My man. The studio is always open for you to get nice before you buy!
I had one for a week it took 2 days to make it work for two days I returned it it worked Thursday and Friday then no sound Saturday or sunday
I have a ns7ii. I'm hoping to get the rev7 in March. Great and very informative video. Thank you.
Thanks so much! That will definitely be a solid upgrade. We have them available in our store. Hit us up when you're ready!
Awesome job on the review! 👊🏾
Appreciate it!
Excellent review! Probably the best I’ve seen on this controller so far. Now this; 9:02 is definitely unacceptable! That would make me pack this thing up and send it right back! Especially for something that cost $2,000 or more!
But there’s so many other amazing things about this controller that I really like. I would like to check this controller out one day, but for that price point, that’s gonna be a really long time from now.
RESPECT! ✊🏾
What a great video that goes deep into the rev 7 and also giving you history on djing. This video made me make a decision on whether to get the rev7 since it's a new products and there has not been anything like this from pioneer, I wanted to see peoples reviews after using it for a while, and it looks like a very solid controller and I am saving up to get me one 😂
Thank you! We're all about education here at Deckademics so I'm glad we could squeeze in some history that you enjoyed. Also glad we could help you make a decision. Don't think you'll regret grabbing one of these. Check our site when you're ready to pull the trigger!!
Great video!
Nice review. Well done.
I loved the TTX deck because of the pitch fader that you could arrange to not be in battle style but that was mainly for ergonomic/rickety back issues.
The pitch faders in battle style on the rev7 will be a couple of inches closer. So not an issue.
Copped one. This review is so on point. I wanna see that Pioneer direct drive motor used in something just a little bigger :-)
Great review and some great honest opinions
Good looking out!
What a fantastic reviewer!
Much appreciated! 🪶
Awesome review ❤
Good looking out!
Great review!
Thanks Mike! Appreciate you watching
Keeping my eyes on the Rev 7 as well as the 1000 SRT thank you for the post not sure which one to pull the trigger on just yet!!!
Strong reasons to go with either, but you’ll be set with which ever one you choose!
Very nice review. Thanks. 😎👍
Thanks for watching!
Best video review of the Rev-7! Great job editing 👏🏽
Righteous, thank you!
This review say's it all ✌️✌️
Right on, thanks for clocking it!
Dude I have both the rev7 and rane one and watch tons of review videos and this is by far the best one ever. It's informative and entertaining at the same time. Kudos.
Right on, I appreciate that Jay!
Which one do u prefer more?
@@bsilentmusic man it’s just depends on what you have at home already and what you are going to use it for. Most of the clubs I play at have s7/s9/s11 and turntables on deck and I have a s7 at home, so if I’m doing a mobile gig and don’t wanna bring my full setup the rev7 is such a good controller to transition in between setup. It’s basically turntables with a s7 mixer. The #1 thing for me between the two controllers is the onboard FXs on the rev7 where as you have to deal with serato effects only the rane 1. It’s not horrible, it’s just not great.
Now why the rane one is better for some is that it’s built like a tank and the footprint is slightly smaller so it’s good for mobile gig where you have extremely limited space. The rev7 definitely has some quality control issues. The face plate was lifting up bc the glue job was bad. There’s nothing glued on with the rane one. The platters also feels better on the rane one as well. And the rane one is cheaper. I also like that the rane used the basic power cord that you can get anywhere. Good luck finding an oem owner brick for the pioneer.
If you are already part of the pioneer djm s series eco system, and wanna keep it familiar between setups, get the rev7. If you just want a controller with spinning players and don’t care for onboard FXs, get the rane one and save some money.
@@DJjayenvy thank you man!!!!! I’m actually just starting out I don’t have anything yet lol so Rane one seems like a good starting point
@@DJjayenvy How do you feel the sound from the sound cards are compared to each other?
GREAT REVIEW. REV 7 SO FAR AWESOME ON SERATO PRO VIDEO MIXING. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Right on, thanks Leo!
Glad i watched... was interested in learning how to modify smooth echo settings.
Thanks for the view, hope you learned what you needed to know!
Thanks for the transparency.I can relate to your story. Peace King.
Thank You!!
You summed it up very well at the end there. I’m leaning to this but the thought of spending $2000 on a controller is crazy to me. However I know the convenience will be huge
Thanks for watching! It is pricey but we feel that it is very worth it. Especially to those that are gigging regularly.
very transparent review. hope the s11 will get the new duck fx too ;-) thanks a lot and regards from zurich switzerland.
Thanks for tapping in, cheers!
@@coolhandlex great review do you think the s11 will be replaced by something new and better next namm s13 or some-weird shit like that. the djm s11 It came out 2020?
@@detroittrickster3327 I would be very surprised if that was the case. If I had to guess, I think we still have a minimum of three years before we see an S11 successor. I could definitely see a new four channel 900 replacement coming soon though!
@@coolhandlex thank u so much for your sound advice! Um is the deck 3/4 control easy to control ,or is it alot of hassle switching back to 1/2 ? The reason im asking is I just got the s7 and is thinking is it good enough 2 exchange (midi loop - blue tooth) or is the deck control 3/4 easy enough to sway my choice ?
@@detroittrickster3327 There is a slight learning curve to the extra deck control on the S11 but it’s fairly intuitive once you’ve played around a bit. In my opinion, that functionality separates the mixer from the competition but probably isn’t worth the price difference if you don’t imagine using it
Very good information.. we just bought it🤗🤗🤗🤗
I think you're gonna be glad you did!
@@Deckademics I'm still 9 years old... dad will help me all the time.. we had rane one too. ... this rev7 is big money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice overview. I wish there was the option to disable the motorized jog wheels to eliminate the wobble factor in situations where mixes need to be seamless.
I’m not sure about the wobble you’re referring to, but turning off the jogs could definitely have added benefit
Great thorough review. One piece of feedback is when you were going through the review script you were on the fast side for a non native English speaker. Not a deal breaker tho as the content was great. Thanks
I appreciate this feedback. I definitely try to pack in as much information as fast as possible in order to keep the videos from being terribly long, but it’s a good reminder to slow down. Cheers!
Respect for this review. Rev 7 here I come 😂
You’re gonna love it!
Great review! I hit my 45 button more than I would like, would be nice to be able to disable it.
I agree. That, or midi map it away!
I am jealous how clean and little dust you can keep your REV7. I'm always using a paint brush between takes and still don't get it nearly that perfect.
😂 and yet there’s always SOME! The Sisyphean task of all gear reviewers
Hi pri, a quick question pls.. I'm new with Pioneer mixer/set. My question is.. is it possible to trigger two or more effects at the same time? For instance.. th echo and reverb. I know it is possible with the Rane. Any help will be appreciated and I apologize for my novice question. lol
Hey I am very excited to get mines it’s been months I am wait I hope when I get my Rev7 no problems with it
An important point I failed to make explicitly is that, by most accounts, these problems seem to really only exist on the earliest units. As successive shipments have arrived to customers I’ve seen fewer and fewer reported issues.
@@coolhandlex yeah and the ones that did have problems said that pioneer wouldn’t even pick up the phone and that customer service is horrible!
Great video! Thanks so much coming from a 2.5decade 1200 DJ... and I am still using my turntables but damn it would be nice not to have to lug it...
I completely understand that. Try one out and I bet you’ll see the light(er weight & setup time saving)!
I started DJing when I was 12 years old back in 1982 all I have to say to the conversation is how about at least 10 inch jog wheels or 12inch oh makes my mouth water make the product a little bit bigger for now I can only wait and dream
Just need pioneer to create either tables with the screen design or another controller with full size turntable decks.. or a Cdj and s11 design would be nice too..
Been using mine more to sample from, use the fx/cue poitnts/stems/filters and eq and so on ...with soundcloud go plus and spotify its an endless sampling party lol use it with maschine standalone
😢what would you say about the left side platter not spinning??
return and get a new one
Are you using some kind of tracking camera to film this? The photography/filming is probably the best I've ever seen in a TH-cam video. It's like you're using a drone! Or maybe an OSMO??
Thanks! It’s just a camera slider!
@@coolhandlex ohhhhh. I’m not familiar with those. I ‘just’ started using an osmo. Btw, I edited my question, as I’d missed out some words!
Those are great! Enjoy your steady footage!
I really wish this was standalone. I don't want to bother with a laptop😢
Re screwdrivers - you’re welcome. ;)
No other site has ever compared to Scratch/DJ Worx and that is a hill I’m willing to die on. When I first spoke with Drew, half of our conversation was about your site and it’s unrivaled contribution to that part DJ culture. Thank you!
@@coolhandlex It was my pleasure. I love that Drew played his part in my journey and is now at the top of the ladder when it comes to making a difference to the DJ industry.
External power sourse and plastic chassi. Two problems in this toy
ANNNNNNND INSTANT PURCHASE..
£1800 and you have to open it to fix a brand new controller, what a heap of shit, I’d never buy this crap. Yes it has great features, but that’s it, pioneer gets the 👎🏾
rane 1?
@@detroittrickster3327 many have had a few issues with that also, I’ve had a friends one for a while and it’s been great, not one problem. Most DJ’s will pick the pioneer stuff due to the fx, but I thought being a DJ was about playing music, back in the days the only DJ’s who had fx were the reggae sounds and those were built into their pre amp mixers, but they didn’t rely or use it for every single mix. I find the Rane simple with no clutter. I do have a pair of Rane 12’s on their way, the price I got them for was a no brainer, £850 for a brand new pair🤪
@@kingsleyrussell348 thx 4 your reply the rane 12 is prob the most versatile and you can use all the major dj software with it
@@kingsleyrussell348 youre talking about the 80s and the legendary cerwin vega earthquakes?
@@detroittrickster3327 reggae sound systems I knew of back in the days used the old 100 watt goodmans 18” drivers in their scoop bins or they had four face boxes, which would have four drivers in one box, that was more in the 70’s and early 80’s. The pre amps had a special sound to them and also had echo out. Pioneer fx and features are second to none, but I wished they’d just pay a bit more attention on quality, no one should have to open up a new mixer or controller because the cross fader is rubbing, even on inexpensive equipment you don’t have to do that, but why would pioneer give a fuck if people are still killing themselves to have the latest gear, the rev7 isn’t for me, I just don’t like the look of it, feels fine, but not my cup of tea, Rane 12’s and a 70 mixer, job done.
