DJ Tips - Pioneer DJM-S9 vs Rane Seventy-Two 

Dope! It was great to see that Oliver lend you his S9 for the video. I actually asked him his thoughts on the S9 before I bought one. Props!

Love your videos keep up the great work 🙏🏽

Thanks for the review!!

Great review I appreciated your insight into both mixers. I currently have Native Instruments Z2 that I am tired of. So which one would you choose if you could only have one of these mixers?

Really great video. Thanks for sharing.

Damn bro great video.. Im about to invest in the mixer and I think you just changed my mind from s9 to 72.

Jesus Christ.....very thorough review bro. Thank you! Really helpful in making my decision

Love the content.. i have a question for you ...how do i turn the bpm to auto ? on the rane 72

Rane magnetic faders are legendary

Great comparison between the two. Thank you for the taking the time to do this. I am in the market to buy one. I'm in no rush. I've been watching as much video about the 72 as much as i can. However, I still can't decide which mixer to get. I've been due for an upgrade ever since I purchased my DJM909 back in 2006. Love that touch screen feature, but really don't utilize it that much. I've pretty much set my favorite efx vs trying to utilize the 50 different efx, which is not truly useful. Been a Pioneer fan ever since and trust that it won't malfunction on me during a gig. As a matter of fact, it still works great to date. I've never used a Rane mixer before. Well, I did once but just for a few mins. You can say no experience w/ the Rane. The 72 sounds like the ultimate mixer in this era. I feel I would be up to date if i buy this. I do need to get outta my comfort zone and try something new. Anyone's opinion is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Keep up the good work

Do you still feel the same now that rane has made the effects post fader?? Which do you enjoy more at this point?

Can you do the loop Roll Effect with this mixer by turning the filter knob on the Rane Seventy two

It will be nice. Review of a elite reloop mixers. With Rane 72 mixer and the S9 pioneer mixer.

What are you're thoughts on this now I have a S9 but I'm having issues with the serato fx side of the mixer. There is always a glitch when pressing a fx button and then it locks up serato all together , I thought it was the computer I added more RAM, nope I updated the driver, the firmware newest version of serato DJ pro, I don't know what the issue is but I also didn't have this issue till I upgraded from DJ to DJ Pro I tried to go back to DJ but same issue. Sooooo I have a huge gig coming up so I think I'm going to get a 72

Nice review - just a quick note... You can adjust the Auto Loop button on the S9 to grab a different length loop (adjustable to whatever length is selected in Serato) instead of always defaulting to 4 beat. You just need to adjust it in the mixer settings.

Thanks!!!

I got my S9 a year ago, and use at at the club every Friday and Saturday at the club haven't seen any wear at all maybe it was an earlier production problem

Can you show me how to trigger set cues to loop in Rane 72 just like Numark Ns7-2 with just one button. I know in Rane 72 it’s a two hand function with the knob on top while hitting the MPC pad which ever cue you set but we don’t have three hands can’t do this while working the fader. A very expensive and big name brand mixer has to do this basic function like the cheap Numark NS7-2 or did I missed something?

wait, the reason you choose the 72 is because of the headphone cue?

question is the seventy two has the faceplate traced or is a sticker?

how do you access to the third mode for custom map?

He didn’t mention Sound Quality?That means hella of a lot to me

How would you use the reverse in mixing? Also is Rane Just for serato? My s9 can go with rekordbox and serato which is nice.

I think cue section on a s9 is better. You can leave knob in the middle and use only fader , or opostie, leave fader in the middle and use only knob

Can i play mp3 music using USB port in Rane USB hub?

After watching this I've decided to keep my s9. The fx are so easy and quick to use but they look really fiddly on the rane 72

also the pad modes are better on the 72 the faders are all the same so are interchangeable its just a tank compared to the s9 and if anyone tell you different they just own a s9 thats why also the effects are very simple to use oh one more thing the fx paddles in the middle of the mixer they are great on the 72 metal feel solid unlike on the s9 they are cheap

Just picked up an s9 at guitar center, $1429 on sale Labor Day weekend. That rane is dope though

You could of save $800 and got the Rane 62 for the post fader software effects(just playing) you got a very solid mixer and at the end of the day to me the Rane is a better quality. The only thing about the two mixers is that they don’t have the effects connection anymore, I use my effects unit a lot so that why I went with Rane62 but at the end of the day to each it’s own. Good review!!!

hello i need your advice i will buy a new mixer but I hesitate between djm s 9 and rane 72 please help me choose thank you in advance

Does the S9 have dual voltage?

Turntable reviews ?

Oh and as far as that magvel fader is yet to be. It needs years to prove itself.

The S9 has problems. My problems have been w/ the fx & the cue pads. Tried everything other than sending it to Pioneer or having it repaired. Planning on getting the 72.

Metal pots on the 72 ????

Pioneer Vinyl preamps are terrible and I've noticed that the S9 is no better, I never tried the RANE but I doubt it can be as bad as the S9 and the pioneer DJM new series... the old DJM-800 (and any lower model) sound far better than any of those new mixers (ON VINYL), especialy for the mid-range, this is a serious issue with pioneer and a lot of people seem to complain about it (Check pioneer's board)

pioneer win.

Rane only has one input per channel, so if you got cdjs as well you'd have to plug and unplug stuff, where as on s9 you just mix and match on fly😉 also you can midi map 16 x 4 on s9 on rane you map only 16 and lost dedicated loop buttons, just a thought

A quality demonstration thanks for taking the time. Kinda disappointed in the comments though , alot of douchebags out there.

I use to own a Pioneer DJM 909 and the paint start to come off from scratching to much smh all that money I spend and pioneer using cheap paint lol

Well in South Africa Rane 72 is way much cheaper than S9... Almost 100 USD.

lets not lie here the biuld quality of the s9 is shocking its bad all plastic cant see it lasting more than 5 years before it gets battered and the 72 wow completely different all metal construction with the added touchscreen which let me tell you is very useful no looking at laptop all the time and most important for me the sound quality ive noticed other people mention this but if you have owed both you will know the 72 has amazing sound quality compared to the s9 and with vinyl too

Pioneer, never!!!

This is not a honest review thou...u re the side of the 72

this dude just wants to say "look at me I got two flagship mixers."
