Pioneer Dj Rev7 vs Rane One vs Hercules T7 overview. 

Been waiting for a comparison like this!

I own the rane one, and it gets the job done almost 30yrs in this business, and i can rock out on anything. I have 1200s and also the rane 12s. I guess it depends on what type of dj you are. I need my tools good enough for me to rock my crowd, and that's it.

Excellent Comparison, Much Appreciated!

To this day the best, most feature rich motorized DJ controller I have ever had was the *Numark NS7II.* I've never understood why inMusic, after purchasing Numark, never made an NS7IV (The NS7III was just the digital Serato display bundled with the NS7II). I was so disappointed when my NS7II hit the Serato compatibility wall because Numark kinda abandoned it for whatever reason so no firmware updates/development. You can still use it with Serato, but your stuck on a deprecated version of Serato and can never update it or else lose connectivity to your NS7II. Like most, I tried to find the NS7 display to turn my NS7II into the NS7III which is still compatible with Serato (as of the typing of this comment) but I could not find it ANYWHERE without buying a second NS7II which I obviously didn't want to do. So I sold my NS7II for the Rane One. While I definitely like my Rane One, I still wish I had a new NS7 controller...

It’s funny everyone loved the rane one till pioneer came out with a copy cat and now everyone hates on rane. DJs hop from one device to another every time someone says this is a game changer.

Very nice review. something i have been looking for.

After the Rane 1…ideas started to come in play…something has to be made in order for more innovations to kick in…I like all of em. I own a Rane and I’m glad I got it…of course a new developed controller is gonna come out.

You missing the legendary Numark NS7-3

The pitch fader in battle mode is non-sensical on a controller. It was all about tone arm clearance in turntables. Take away the tone arm & there's absolutely no reason to do it aside from novelty emulation. When Rane designed the Twelve & One, they had a pool of 100 hardcore turntablists. Early prototypes had the pitch in battle mode & majority of the turntablists they had in the Beta pool voted against it. They also had a mirrored layout on One protypes like the old Numark NS7 series & that was voted down as well. Reaching over the platter up top to pitch a song when you don't have to is stupid. Work flow wise, it makes zero sense either. Build quality wise, The One trumps them all. It feels as solid as a turntable. Rev 7 being the most expensive feels just as plastic as the T7 but I'd expect it from the T7 at it's price point. The mixer layout on the Rev 7 burns them all which is why they put the pitch battle style...so they can dedicate that real estate to the mixer Not for battle style nostalgia like folks think. If Rane was smart they'd revise the mixer layout on the next version of The One. 12inch Skinz has control discs & spindle adapter for The One which gives you another inch of real estate or 8" discs meant for the SC6000M which fit The One better & also gives you another inch of real estate. Once upon a time belt drive was a no go for DJ'ing but with the advent of all the portables, you have all the torque you need with no pitch drift. My only gripe with T7 are the faders, especially x-fader which has a horrible cut in time. All 3 soldered together on 1 board so If 1 fails then you need to swap them all. Thank God for Audio Innovate Innofader drop in replacement. $170 for all 3 faders which will last longer than the rest of the controller. Even with the additional fader investment, T7 is a great bang for the buck & I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers moving platters.

if you were to choose one mech table on year 2024, rane one vs t7 what would you pick? small gigs- basement streaming and backyard parties

WoW beautiful, Hope I have THIS controller soon 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Must give kudos to Hit Squad Djs for the excellent run down of how all 3 controllers compare. Clear st8 forward information . The Hercules deffo has the superior platter, plus it uses serato stems but no output connections for mics or notepads or USB where as The Rane 1 & T7 have all these options .So if you're going to record mixes then you hit to figure out the minimal options you must contend with .That's only issue that makes me hesitate before buying .

I'm out here in AZ too, Born n Raised! I still got the old 1st Numark NS7! Might get the Hercules Next.

I'm running 2 1200s and a rane 70 so I'm leaning towards the one for a more portable version of what's at home but...I like the 7 as well. Not 100% decided yet. Maybe the next gen rane will do it for me but not sure I can wait. Hmmmm?

Great video. I'm trying to get a 4 deck controller with stems, and balanced outputs & that works well with virtual DJ

I'm old school DJ witch I started with turntable back in the 80's. I worked with Technics SL-1200 whitch has the pitch control on the side. So the Pioneer Dj Rev7 would not work for me because of the pitch on top. I love the Rane One. Over all great review.

What do any of them really do. That Ns7iii doesn't beside on board effects and you can still midi map for stems

Just missing the Numark Ns7 . Another Amazing controller that pre dates all these by far 👌

Great video. And i actually watched this video to find out which has the "better" sound card. Lol...I have been a Pioneer guy for some time. However, I dont really like the way they sound. After comparing them with Roland and older Rane gear. Would you still be willing to sure your opinion? I have considered moving to Rane for the sound. Thanks

Great review. If I can sell my Numark Mixtrack Platinum DJ Controller I would pick up the Hercules - looks like a great unit for the price. I'm no professional, it's for my basement.

What about the ns7 compared to the t7?

T7 Premium is just amazing for the price .. love the stems controls that the other 2 don't have and it now has a decent crossfader

Great video! Do we need to buy serato dvs subscription to use Rane one ?

Numark started all this with the ns7 These are not the only motorized controllers. I have an ns7 iii that I love. Looking at that t7 as an affordable 2nd

U missed the numark ns7iii I have it for years it's a beast and tank haul around but 0 issues with it

it only may how can you be in nov ?

@12:00 the Rane One motor came from the Numark NS7 line. Rane One was the replacement of that line

My Numark NS7III is still rocking like some technics 1200

Only thing I ever wish for is 10" platters like the stanton 1.D that's what Im waiting for.

Someone need to release a motorized non laptop use controller. USB & SD Card usage. Numark??

Why do people forget the still best motorized controller the Ns7iii it came out in 2015 and still hangs with them all

U did a better review than digital dj

I’m so undecided either a Rane One or Hercules T7 someone help give me feed back which one you recommend and why

Traktor S4 MK3, Numark NS7iii (a little older) both motorised

Love your video. I’m still using an NS7 iii And two NS7 ii s as spares but I’m thinking of the Rev7. I do have my S9 & 1210s but as a controller at this stage though heavier I still like the NS7. The Rane 1 still uses the same motors as the NS7 from what I understand.Interesting. Just my opinion The T7 as good as it is & for value for money I’m still not confident with belt drive regardless.

What about the rane four #Hitsquaddj? I mean it almost since you're short of One controller

Este hombre debe ser el hombre mas feliz de la tierra con tantos "juguetes" para jugar....

Rane one rules for real be good to all

You just need to get you a Numark NS7. It's still King. I've played on all 6 controllers. The butterfly style will be exactly what you want. Oh and I still have the T7, NS7, and NS73, aka the King!

My gripe with the Rane One they made the mixer section so slim and the platters are not even symmetrical. Total design fail.

Since you’ve used them all….do you think the rev5/rane 1 is worth the price difference over the impulse T7? Really torn….its a pretty big jump in price.

Remember the Numark NS7

Yeah you left out native instruments the tractor controller has motorized which is a very

20:30 have they yet?

Awesome

You should of put numark ns7iii on this list!!! Because ns7iii is still Relevant till this day!

Also Rane & Hercules pitch faders care for your back for long mixing, pioneer give me your money and hunch over the deck.

Is it really a problem that the t7 is a belt drive platter? And i heard that it doesn't spin back to well. Let me know your opinion on this matter 👍🏽

I have all of them as well...The rev7 is all hype with a Bunch of issues . Rane one has major issue as well (had 3 replacements ) The T7 is very underrated, that lil guy is a st8 beast and once you change out 1)slip mats to a blade or a butter rug 2) default fader to the custom T7 inno fader (your working with a true winner 3) its only 11pounds in weight plus..that price point!

Where is the Ns7 mk3

growing up on TT not all of us used them in battle style 🤔 the rev 7 sliders are dumb

For general DJ's (EDM) on a tight budget then sure...Hercules. But consider that it's plastic, won't last as long and will depreciate much quicker. If you have extra money get a 2nd hand Rane One IMO. Built like a tank, pro fader and proper case metal platters so good for a more turntablist feel. Plus is will probably hold value better. I vote Rane one because it's more classic and pro feeling. Rev 7 also over impeded and 'hot' signal but Rane One very smooth and warm sound.

You seem to have forgotten about Numark ns7 2/3 motorized and to be honest is way better than these other options

I’m smelling a lotta schilling,Rane most definitely there’s no question build quality goes a long way.

T7 rocks!!!❤ super light and does the same job as the other 2 pricier ones… my opinion.

Me just waiting for the final piece to the puzzle …. Motorized fully standalone. I refuse to use a laptop ever again. It’s 2024. Enough.

How the hell are these guys even having the T7 in this category

get these stand alone

115 degrees is bad for your laptop 💻 especially if you don’t have a fan inside

built in scratch sounds should be standard with any scratch controller

the T7 has the most coherent looking design to my eyes, the other two look like wierd hybrids

T7 Weight 11lbs 5kg

No NS7?!? Video didn’t happen…you mean the only modern controllers with motorized decks…I have 45s on my NS7III…

Battle style makes no sense in my opinion, the pitch isn't it the way on the side, and if you want to ride a mix without sync, it makes using the pitch awkward.

numark did it first ns2-ns3

I’ll never spend money on any of these until they no longer need a laptop.

I was digging the T7 until you said belt driven.

6:23 November 2023*

...guess we have consciously chosen to not include the legendary ns7 then?...ur not gonn telll me u been into DJing for 30 years and never heard of that deck dude. I mean come on dude! Lol seriously? Thats like saying ive known pokemon and been heavy into it for 30 years but ive never heard of Pikachu 🤨

so you made this video in 2024 ? 😂

Rane one built like a tank

Truthfully ibcan't stand battle style. The rev 7 is tooo light handed for me i will stick with my denon sc6000ms with flouresent discs plus custom wheel pressure with the allen wrench. Plus they are like 9 inch wheels. If the rane 12 was not battle style i would have went with them. But denon for the win

Need to do your homework fella, traktor kontroll S4 MK3, motorised platters and haptic feedback😂

dan but none are 4 ch

Well as a pro DJ you should be plugged into an external mixer anyways

SMH don't disrespect denon like that LOL they dont play CDs so stop with the CDJ reference, that's a stupid pioneer saying and not a denon saying

For me I dont like the wave form I the middle. Just me

Ns7 3 the best

When you get a DJ controller, you feel the sin of pride smiling at you. If you get nice and rock live, leave em' talking the next day about what records you flipped while screw face competition domes is frozen and eyeballs swell!!!!!

i hate battle setup been vinyl since 99 so its just your opinion everyone is different

let me get one of those you dont need 3 of them wtf so greedy

It's funny thinking that everyone is a copy cat when it's just two turn tables a mixer and a bunch of buttons so. Go figure out something new then if you have an issue with design

Me caíste mal como hablas
