@@djdustmite4519 $500 with a case in good condition is what they are going for. That's why I well never sell mine. Lol. But yea guitar center stays taxing
@@sotoalfredo20 yea makes sense it looks like a great mixer and has the quality I want and it will stand the test of time! I was thinking s9 but don’t like the cheap features I’m liking the way Rane builds their mixers!
I am a fan of Rane so I definetely prefer the 70 : sound quality, phono preamps, build quality, feeling of the pads, upfaders, overall design... But in the other hand, the S7 has more features. Not only the Bluetooth input and the exclusive loop midi features, but also the same 22 FX found on the S11 (the Pioneer ducking echo is much more usable that the one the Rane 70), the same pad modes found on the S11 including Cue Loop which is missing on the 70. The S7 also detects BPM on actual vinyls (the 70 doesn't, you need to tap). That being said, some S7 users are having problems with the upfaders after less than a year of use. The 70 is rock solid.
I have the 62 and two 70s I love them they are loud they are durable mixers and I've had my share of mixers but this brand is my favorite thanks for the review
Are you able to go into settings with the S7 mixer, and adjust the cut in points with the cross fader, so that the sound is instantaneous as soon as you move the fader??
Very nice review bro... do you still have love for your Mixars Duo?? I upgraded it with an Innofader and I love how it changed. How does it compare to this two heavier weights? May be my next upgrade, but for now i'm not in a rush until the Duo brokes lol. peace.
@@BocaNejra takes a moment to get use to but mostly just features…paddle effects separate deck control for samples Etc. But I still prefer the simple Que buttons on the duo
@@djliddiog3105 Thank you! How about sound and EQ quality? I'm thinking on a possible future upgrade to the Rane 70 but for now I'm ok with the DUO while the faders still work ok. I don't use FX or samples a lot, so my main thing will be best sound and EQ quality. Also good sound levels with vinyl records.
In the fader settings you can set the gap to "0" the cut is super sharp. Feel wise I prefer the innofader and the the magvel pro of the pioneer. The mag 4 are a good fader still imo
Thx for review! It was real as hell! Unfortunately I can't find a store in Phx that has them in stock/display! It's time upgrade from my TTM57 SL & a Mac! Gear is 10 years & slow af! I'm sticking to Rane! Gotta take advantage of my new Technics MK7's! Very cool turntables! I love the +/- 16% pitch!
Got my Seventy today. Watching this video helped me decide between the 2. The DJM S7 is $300(AUD) more than the Seventy. So what is the S7 made from since you mentioned it’s not as good as the Seventy? I haven’t seen one in person.
@@detroittrickster3327 the channel faders are terrible on the s7😭, I've had mine just for under a year, and my left channel is busted already lol, It's a bummer cause the s7 is good
I just got this mixer, DJM S7, and I calibrated the turntables inside the Serato software. But for some reason I can constantly hear the tone playing, no matter what functions I have it on. I can still hear it even when I play the music. Even when the music is not playing and the needle is still going around the control vinyl, I can still hear the tone nonstop! Is there a reason why this is???
I prefer the S7 over the seventy, IMO. Rane mixers as of late seem to have too many buttons on the mixer that aren’t necessary, which can be overwhelming to some.
I didn’t notice a difference when connected properly the Rane is definitely not suited for a RCA setup you lose sound quality by not using the main out which is XLR but the s7 gives you that ability to use RCA as a main out and maintains sound quality
@@miyagithedj This may be true in a professional setup for clubs and large venues but for personal setups like small parties or bedrooms the Rane 70 lacks sound quality when using RCA connectivity.
@@djliddiog3105 not quite. The soundcard in the Rane 70 and 72 mixers is the same as the MP2015 and that is one of the best sounding mixers on the planet. Rane beats out Pioneer in every category with the exception of FX. I will give Pioneer credit where it is due, but Rane mixers have always sounded better.
@@jamesdigger I like it, better then the S9. I do like the way Rane sounds over Pioneer, but someone told me the Pioneer S7 sounds better in a concert type of sound set up, but I haven’t tested it out like that yet. Honestly, I believe you will be happy with either. As an ex-Rane fan boy it took me a few weeks to get used to the Pioneer, but I’m not going to lie I love this mixer! I don’t have any regrets now.
So tired of what feels like companies trying hard to limit equipment to force you to buy most expensive. All have minor flaws that is just on purpose. s7 got crap line faders, s5 got single input per channel, rane is huge since they re-used 72 casing, elite got no hardware effects, rane use plastic encoders, pioneer cheaped out on ria-amps, s7 no instant doubles button etc. I don´t want s11 with pointless screen. But feel like i need to buy it to not get punished and even then I still get budget ria-amps. God damnit.
I love the Rane 70. Some cons though. For one thing, the session out and the booth don't have as much power in its output like the master out. Fortunately, you don't need it to serve it's purpose. Session out is enough to run thru pc input for streaming. And boot is enough for what it's meant for. If you need more inputs for a sub, just link up with your 15's like you're supposed to. Problem solved. Second con, the Rane 70 will crash if you have your Serato master levels too high. Fix that, and you're golden.
@@jesustirado743 no you should not lose anything but the S7 is preferable to me because I like to beat juggle and scratch and to me it’s layout works better for that type of DJing
For me the the 70 is the best Battle/2 Channel Mixer at the moment. The S11 is to much for what i do. I mean i still happy with my 62 and don't use the full potential of it. Pioneer Hardware in general feels more cheap compare to Rane...
The S7 is Way better performance Wise, According to Many … Legendary DJ’s, i owns S9 and upgraded… Just Because of All the options and capabilities, The Effects paddle do seem, Very Low budget Most Definitely, Never used Rane mixers, but i just bought the Rane 4 controller which is dope , very flooded with buttons, Technics MK7’s, and Turntables period is my Life🤪🫡😮💨🔥👏🏽👊🏾😀, i might still get the S11 mixer Too, plus i agrees Both mixers are dope,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,

Update coming real soon got a real opinion after using them for about six months !!!
I saw a Rane 62 used at my guitar center used for 639.99 you think that’s worth it’s 10 years old now it should probably be a little cheaper right?

There is a crossfader adjust on both mixers on the front panel
i Got the DJM S7 the Rane is Big and i dont like all those colors!
Can we creat a loop with holding echo on Rane Seventy with analog vinyl ? Like on the 62 ?

I’m not sure about the Rane’s faders… I did not have a good experience with Mag 4s. A lot of gap between channel L and R while cutting…

Great video my brother
Do not waste your money. If you are a turntablist or a scratch/break dj buy the Rane…
Got my Seventy today. Watching this video helped me decide between the 2. The DJM S7 is $300(AUD) more than the Seventy.
So what is the S7 made from since you mentioned it’s not as good as the Seventy? I haven’t seen one in person.
pioneer s7 is better I had both 70 is made of better parts up faders on the s7 r soldered in :( and plastic shelled housing
@@detroittrickster3327 the channel faders are terrible on the s7😭, I've had mine just for under a year, and my left channel is busted already lol,
It's a bummer cause the s7 is good
Pioneer mixers are great just low key kind of shitty build compared to rane. Knobs feel cheap
Can you play the s7 only with a pc though? You have to map the cue/play buttons, although the 70 u have that already in the pads already.
I just got this mixer, DJM S7, and I calibrated the turntables inside the Serato software. But for some reason I can constantly hear the tone playing, no matter what functions I have it on. I can still hear it even when I play the music. Even when the music is not playing and the needle is still going around the control vinyl, I can still hear the tone nonstop! Is there a reason why this is???
Yes that's expected I believe. I switched to using Phase because of that issue actually. Don't know of a way to lower or even stop that tone.
I prefer the S7 over the seventy, IMO. Rane mixers as of late seem to have too many buttons on the mixer that aren’t necessary, which can be overwhelming to some.
How does the sound quality compare?

Yes, Rane build quality seems way better
I have to do a follow up I think I like the overall performance of the pioneer slightly better
xD especially those cheap plastic loops/fx/function buttons from rane that break over time
S7 have way better layout…so clean
Damn. I got the S9 and 70 but I think I wanna sell my S9 and get the S11. I don't even be needing all dis shit man! 😂😂😂😂
I feel ya I have to do a follow up comparison because I’m liking the S7 more and more!
@@djliddiog3105 how you feeling now? Trying to decide between the two myself
Other than the instant doubles on the Rane I prefer the S7
