I have Number 8, Hold Echo fx on my Prime 4+. I just tried this same technique, and it works just as you demonstrated. Thanks for giving me another great mixing option to utilize!
Well done Jake. Thank you for such an informative video. There are many layers to the Performer and I love what it has done for my Dj sets. There is more going on in the mix and I’m here for it.
Great breakdown! You may have convinced me to upgrade from my Pioneer SRT 1000 for my mobile gigs! I still also have my Rane Seventy for home use too. I guess I’m may be going back to all Rane?! 😮😮😮
Someone mentioned, it would be preferable to add indicator lights on top of each filter knobs, of which I agree, the controller would have been so much closer to perfect..... What is your opinion, don't be scared to criticize...... Oh the other. The option for detail waveform horizontally display would have been complimentary
Great Video! Nice detail and easy to watch. I love the portability of the product. I have always been a pioneer guy but I think I will get this unit when I get some cash in. Maybe you can speak to your superiors and mention that we DJs want a standalone solution like this. And another product for home use is the 12” versions. Rane twelve with the Screen and USB ports so no need for a laptop ❤❤❤
Thanks Jake’ i did not even Realize the Black Tall Feature Scrolling Stick up Top controlled Library on Platters😂, now i knows Thanks to you and i just Unboxed my Rane performer Today🎉👏🏽🤣, i gotta figure out the Cutt out and how it sounds So the Scratches sound like yours,😅
@@bpmdjpro thanks man. I’ve bought my Rane performer and got it set up yesterday.. I managed to Shazam your track and found the house version, so I can still isolate the acapella.. maybe I’ll throw a big beat track behind if too 😘 awesome controller best individual piece of kit I’ve ever used in 25 years of DJing 🔥
I noticed the right jog wheel display screen resolution is different than the left one. I dont know if its the reflecting light but its more a like a yellow dim. I returned it to the store and did an exchange but the new one was doing the same. Their floor demo also had this issue. Can you address this?
I'm not saying it's impossible, but would definitely be a crazy amount of work and engineering. Plus, Serato probably wouldn't work correctly with a Frankenstein creation like that since it would be expecting a static controller (FOUR) and in reality getting a motorized version. Each unique product has a unique identifier for Serato that sends certain midi information to the software. In order to get the parts, you'd have to buy a PERFORMER, then gut it, then add the parts to the FOUR, to maybe get a new controller that kinda works like a PERFORMER, lol
The closest thing to that would be just saving your favorite FX on the 6 quick access buttons on the FX section, just select them by holding the FX select button and scrolling with the parameter knob and then long pressing the FX select button to save them.
Hmmm, good question. Not sure. The FX should be present in the recording if you are recording from the main out. You may be recording from a specific channel or channels instead of the main output on the FOUR?
The pitch bend is the best, AND HARDLY ANY PIONEERS HAVE THEM. I can't stand Pioneer if you can tell. Some of these apply to the FOUR with the new firmware update too, thanks for the tips.
@@bpmdjpro Weird thing is, everyone I know that uses it learned it on Denon CD mixers - which makes sense, that's what they had. However, I used to DJ vinyl and went dormant for 30 yrs but somehow I prefer the pitch bend over the platters now when I picked it up again.
Hi Jake - are you able to confirm whether the Rane Twelve mkII is compatible with the performer for decks 3/4 in Serato? Will I run into any issues if I use one of my twelves as a third (or fourth) deck? Thanks!
@@bpmdjpro Thanks! Super appreciative. Someone told me they don't actually work (there's an issue with Serato supporting more than two motorized decks?). If this is in fact the case, I imagine it's something you guys would like to be aware of. Looking forward to what you find as the performer looks outstanding and (as long as it work with my twelves) will be a perfect solution for my needs. Thanks again!
@@bpmdjpro thanks! I’ll check it out. I took the plunge and picked up the performer, so this will be super helpful! Thanks so much to you and the rest of the team!
Yes, you can turn the motors off by holding SHIFT and pressing the Slip Mode button, but then the top becomes pitch bend and will not work for scratching. Honestly, the RANE FOUR would be a better option for you if you don't want moving platters and you still want to scratch
I don't understand why I can't automatically jump to a saved loop via the pad rather than having to use shift, pioneer cdj don't need shift much more intuitive to jump between loops on the fly.
Just got mine and loving the features especially the stem separation

cool technique
Just bought one last month. Thank you for this! Really needed it

Same!
@bpmdjpro does the performer have a search strip like the rane one were you can search different parts of the song?
Looks amazing! It's such a fun device. I can't wait to get mine and show it off at my next gigs!
Jake is awesome!!!!! Great video!!!!!
Not nearly as awesome as @djflipside33
Amen!
Dood! 4 REEL!
You are my 97th fav DJ!
Great Video.... straight to the point! Hopefully, the team at Rane will release another battle-style mixer soon!
I would LOVE that!
Great breakdown! You may have convinced me to upgrade from my Pioneer SRT 1000 for my mobile gigs! I still also have my Rane Seventy for home use too. I guess I’m may be going back to all Rane?! 😮😮😮

Solid choice, I'll think you'll be really happy

Yo Benji, from one Benji DJ to another, respect.
@@benji.B-side respect brother!!!
great tips and tricks cant wait to get one
the stem integration looks nexx level

Great vid. What’s the track with ‘losing control, can you bring it back’ lyrics?
It's a custom track that I made specifically for demo videos for the RANE PERFORMER.

Can you do a video on the mic options and mic talk back ect and effects options
Can you activate duck echo by loading a track like with the rev 7?
I noticed the right jog wheel display screen resolution is different than the left one. I dont know if its the reflecting light but its more a like a yellow dim. I returned it to the store and did an exchange but the new one was doing the same. Their floor demo also had this issue. Can you address this?
I've never noticed this on any unit that I've seen, most likely this is due to viewing angle or lighting.
same happened to me and the left jog always goes black randomly and needs to be rebooted you? im using the latest djpro app.
Jake is it possible to take a Rane 4 and get the parts to make the platters that are motorized, as I see everything else is mostly the same
I'm not saying it's impossible, but would definitely be a crazy amount of work and engineering.

I understand Thank you sir
Is there a way to put your favorite fx in a playlist if u will 😊
The closest thing to that would be just saving your favorite FX on the 6 quick access buttons on the FX section, just select them by holding the FX select button and scrolling with the parameter knob and then long pressing the FX select button to save them.
Top feature 1 - all metal construction. 2 - booster clean sound by Numark. This is a big toy for adults. Not a plastic gadget for kids.
Jake one question on my Rane 4 I got it to record on abelton live but the effects don’t work Any idea why because the stem functions work

Pitch Bend is kinda one of those things you don't think you need, until you actually have it, then you LOVE it in my opinion.

what about the platters turned off not spinning but be able to scratch and mix with it
Yes, you can turn the motors off by holding SHIFT and pressing the Slip Mode button, but then the top becomes pitch bend and will not work for scratching. Honestly, the RANE FOUR would be a better option for you if you don't want moving platters and you still want to scratch
@ Wazzytv, why would you buy a controller with spinning platters if you don't need them?
@@owenjohn1192 ..I need them and I like them..but having an option for both is also good for a controller that’s $3000 in Canada
Why does serato still have to hold shift while using loops rekordbox loops are automatic once you make them …smh😢
How come my performer is glitching out, is this compatible with Windows 11?????? Help
Yes, it's compatible with Windows, make sure you have installed the Driver from rane.com/downloads and that your running the latest version of Serato
I don't understand why I can't automatically jump to a saved loop via the pad rather than having to use shift, pioneer cdj don't need shift much more intuitive to jump between loops on the fly.
Everyone talks about the features what about the requirements to run this puppy
Since it runs Serato DJ Pro, your laptop should meet the requirements of that software, which can be found here: serato.com/dj/pro/downloads
do you still need a laptop ?
Yes, you do
WHY CAN I HEAR MY SELF ON BOOTH OUT NOT MASTER WHEN USING MIC DO YOU KNOW
In the setting menu there is an option to adjust the routing of the mic
