i just sold my SZ got to get an other controller... but not sure wichone... 🤷♂️🤔🤔🤔 the one looks like a better performance but weigh and only 2 channel...🤔
Build quality was a major selling point when I got my Rane One. Some people think the Rane One is overpriced because lack of certain features. On board FX is absolutely a necessity at the price point. But getting a Rane One that will stay young for 10 years, vs. The Pioneer that will be out in 5 years ish... the price point is right. I saw a video of someone running over the Rane one with a car and it still worked fine... 😳
You totally nailed this review. My biggest issue with the ddj-1000 was always the sound card - when playing at home no issues - but once you have it hooked up to a big sound system the lack of sound quality is noticeable especially when compared to the 900nsx2 or the new DJM-S11.
Exactly! Man my pioneer SR2 definitely has issues on the bigger QSC System, the mic clips like crazy and super distorted. its all good tho light weight I take it to easy gigs
@@djparadime Thats all I use is 4 deck controllers. I currently own a pioneer ddj1000, denon prime 4, previously owned a numark NV and a numark n4. Next setup is going to be 4 denon sc6000 and x1850 mixer
excellent Review’ Scratch Test was Great!!!, Beware of Review Jackers Someone will... Copy your breakdown of Rane One VS SRT-1000’, i owned The DDJ-1000 and Opps🥵🙈Back To Guitar Centre it Went’ i cannot Stand RekordBox Software, Scratching Was nice though, But i only own Pioneer 1000 Turntables, Gonna Get Rane One & Rane 12’s Too, Which i should had been got Long Time Ago!!!, But Paradime Dope Straight to the Point Review⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔥✊Keep it Going bro
Thanks! Yeah I like both controllers honestly, depends on preference. No matter what you gotta dj on, you gotta make it shake! LOL Please let me know an update on if you like it!
not gonna lie the pioneer has amazing built in effects that the Rane one doesn't but I myself don't really care about effects like that, either way if you want the hook up just lmk on IG @djparadime peace man.
Not a fan of rane these days only because inmusic bought them. I’m still butthurt about the shitty NS7 faders and how it was built inside (not like a tank how it appears outside) and how warranty service Fed me bad. It’s probably the same shenanigans with rane, tank build outside, crap reliability and to work on the inside. The pioneer power supply is no big deal! It’s just 12volts and a few amps! Just buy a few cheap, quality supplies like 4A center pin positive. I’ve forgotten mine and used a friend’s external hard drive power supply no problem. Spinning platters are fun, but I personally enjoy the pioneer more than my ns7III, probably because I haven’t ripped it apart 10 times to fix the up faders and boards already like most inmusic crap.
I can dig it, for me though I forget shit all the time so I will definitely mis place that power supply for the pioneer LOL EIther way Imma get busy on whatever I got to work with, but I do like the SRT crossfader compared to the rane one
The review was ok at best because it was obvious that you were biased toward the Rane. If I were to watch THIS video to help me decide on which one to get, I would pick the Rane because of your preferenc. I prefer a more unbiased review. A lot of DJs prefer to have on board effects along with software based effects and you minimized that. The difference between a 5" platter and a 7" platter is huge and you minimized that too. The pads are far better on the Pioneer, perfor.s very well, has a case built for it already, and the $200 difference is not small. You minimized that too. Sorry bro, you could have done a better review just by doing a clean, straight forward review on the features, pros, and cons of each device.
imo there not comparable controllers. the ddj 1000 is for people who are familiar with the pioneer club kit eco system and want the cads jog wheels. the the Rane one is for people who use turntables and want the same feeling in a controller.
You can't compare these two against each other They're completely different Jog wheels Motorized tables Rane is wack anyways A basic controller No effects WEAK SAUCE
How can you not compare the two? Their both controllers, both have features for DJING. Both have the mixers built in between the “decks” THEY ARE BOTH CONTROLLERS, we just comparing the differences, Rane might not be what it was but the RANE 57 is still the greatest mixer of our dj generation. Pioneers good but it just ain’t me.
Boy you really coming for me in ya comments 😂 idgaf what I’m on I’ll figure out how to dj the best possible way, not really into effects I just don’t give too much about them not like anyone comes up and says “wow man those effects you did tonight, it was amazing” LITERALLY NOBODY,
If you not a scratch dj then the drag is not for you.. us battle djs and scratch djs live for the dragg on these new techs step your game up or keep using that sync button on those static jog wheels lol.
Honestly not bashing u or anything but were u trying to make the SRT look like a bad controller..... despite the lag which I definitely cant see when i tried it on my controller I think the SRT has the edge based off functionality.... the built in effects are a massive plus and the 4 channel opposed to two on the RANE is jus way superior... trust me i give RANE the props for the mic and the platter and all but how they jumbled up everything just doesn’t go well with me... in all aspects i can say that the RANE will fit the older DJ’s while the SRT fits the younger more innovative type.... Btw Great Review in all just think u missed out on a couple plus points for the SRT
I didn't even mean to do it like that LOL, I actually like the Pioneer controllers I just prefer the moving platter, either way Imma make it do what it do LOL, just did a recap of how I like the rane one check it out my G! Yeah the updated recap I defintely talk about how they literally made everything too compact and needed to space it out. LOL
The Rane is to tight. I would never buy it because of that and .any other reasons. One of my DJs bought one and brought it by my Lab for me to work it out. Its very good and solid but missing some key features. Don't drink the wine yall. I'll pass.
@@djparadime First great review comparison, very informative. The RekordBox Pioneer 1000 came with post faders, but the Serato 1000SRT did not so wasn't as fun & just google: post faders 😄
I bought my Rane One coz I was so used to mixing with spinning platters! The other things I found that added value was the solid build and the two microphone inputs which helped me for speech time at Weddings. Great Unit!
My pioneer has platter tension adjustments. Not all pioneer controllers have the option but that's because people didn't spend enough. Also the sound card and mic input in the SZ is top notch compared to lower end controllers. To make a long story short, if you want the best from pioneer then the SZ/SZ2 would be best. Portability isn't everything. Nice job RANE! Pioneer DDJ SZ
Another great review! Thanks for following up with a comparison of the Rane One and the Pioneer DDJ-1000SRT. I found it very helpful. One correction about the DDJ-1000 jog wheels; there is a tension knob to the top right of the jog wheels that adjust the tension of the jog wheels. In my opinion, it feels like there is less lag when the tension is increased.
Hey man did you ever adjust the cut on the Rane One to be how you like it, you said it was not as tight as the SRT in this vid?? And did you get it to a point where it was as good as the SRT for scratching??
I can't lie my G I just been so busy to even practice like that, the Rane One cuts fine out the box I just hear the cut in time for when I cut on the SRT and its just so much more precise out the box. Don't get me wrong you can open the RANE ONE up and make it tighter but I AINT GOT TIME FOR ALL THAT, Imma cut on it and its gon be aight LOL, GOTTA ADJUST TO DJ ON ANYTHING IS MY MOTTO! LOL
I have a Rane One and I immediately adjusted the crossfader cut knob on the controller, and it still wasnt sharp. So I checked the software settings, and yup. They were reset from my previous controller. Made sure to set the hard cut in software and the cut is nice on the cross fader now.
Doing such a in depth comparison information should be accurate the Jogs are adjustable can’t believe you clearly missed that,the SRT microphone is terrible not true at all many would definitely agree and it’s not the same sound card either good video being bias or one sided not cool it all your opinion you trashing specifics not cool at all.
I've probably used a SRT-1000 about 4-5 times at a club with other Djs equipment, to be completely honest I never use any effects because I just know how to DJ without them, I'm not saying one is better than the other it's just what I prefer. The Pioneer controllers mic sounds terrible in real time use at a club, wedding anything where I need to be able to project clearly. I feel you on my opinion being one sided though, sorry about that. With that being said if you want the discode code for either or any controller, just let me know my G. all good.
One major thing the SRT has over the R1 is the fx…the software fx are dog shit compared to the hardware fx on the SRT and they are never out of sync like Serato’s horrible echo out.
POWER CORD MEAN SHIT !!! THE CONTROLLERS WILL TRAVEL IN CASES....HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO FORGET A POWER CORD??? IS LIKE CARRYING A LUNCH BOX TO WORK AND FORGETTING YOUR FOOD INSIDE THE LUNCH BOX ??????? COMON !!!
I came from 1200s Now numark ns7iii I love the motorized platters And as far as the pioneer controllers It wasn't difficult for me to mix on at all I just didn't like it Can't stand jog wheels
not sure when the rane one came out but i think im gonna wait for a mk2 of this if they fix the small issues ill be game to buy this just small adjustments spacing it out a little more , include rane effect not just serato effects .. let us control the mic with effects ect but to be honest if they start packing everything in controllers they would have less people buying the ''real '' dj gear
It's definitely cramped and the mic sound card is TRASH LOL, I can't lie I am just lazy and I never wanna lug turntables AGAIN to a gig but I also like that is still moves like a turntable so I can work around other things LOL Thanks for subscribing man!
Apples and Oranges people. Why he compared these two controllers is beyond me. The Pioneer has 4 channels and the Rane only two., The Rane has motorized platters and the Pioneer doesn't. Both have similar sound quality but they do sound different. The Pioneer has MORE features and probably works with more applications. Imagine this. Take away the motorized platters from the Rane One for Jog Wheels. The Pioneer, with the exception of sound quality blows away the Rane One. The only real advantage the Rane One has is the platters. SO, it comes down to this. How much do you value motorized platters?
@@djTorchLive "The Rane has motorized platters and the Pioneer doesn't." - Comparison "The Pioneer has 4 channels and the Rane only two." - comparison. "The Pioneer has MORE features and probably works with more applications." - comparison. But your entire statement and comment was comparing both controllers, was it not? Honestly IDGAF I'm just making videos for people who want to know if they wanted to compare two channels they might want to purchase. You don't like it? COOL. GTFOFF MY CHANNEL MY GUY LOL
@@djTorchLive I have to disagree with you on this one. When your making a major purchase like this everything needs to be compared especially when the prices are similar. People need to know the features included both products in order to determine if X amount of dollars is worth paying extra or less to gain or lose certain features. I prefer moving jog wheels and videos like these help determine if they are worth the extra money or not.
@@darienms38 I respect your argument but there are some "cut and dry" reason why these two are still apples and oranges, which are the platters. If you're fine with conventional jog wheels the Pioneer is a better value. If you gotta have platters then it's the Rane.
Static jog wheels have always been a sin to the DJ world, I always prayed that the Technics DZ1200 would take over the Pioneers back in the day. Kicking off a record with a cue button, and not a hand movement, just aint right. In short, I love wheels of steel.. Cool vid man, UK in da house....................
I don't see it that way. Not everyone is a scratch DJ and needs moving jogs. Static jogwheels save weight and would last longer. So.. I don't see any 'sin'! Lol
@@P4boot I don’t see it that way either we don’t all start on the same equipment, gotta work with you got. I’ve seen Djs who can’t dj at all rock a Party just off the mic alone. No matter what your using, the final product is what means the most to the customer, IMO
I put my RANE 57 away and it was in perfect condition RANE HAS DOPE HARDWARE THE XLR have the 1/4 in built into the middle of the input right? great review
Great review Bro! (DJ Steel Wheel) Keep at it and ignore the haters man, constructive criticism is one thing... anyways #StayShining (I met u back at NC State circa early 2000s DJ MC was my college roommate).
HELL YEAH, Having to look for the fader when the 1,000 people in the club at peak hour is TRASH LOL,, combined with people in the VIP booth behind you looking like wtf the dj doing bending down all the time LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
One the best Rane 1 vs Poi 1000 reviews sir! You spoke on real life, in the field features; AC cords wires (I hate wires) , the rotating platters from a clients viewpoint, the mic quality!! I likes me scratchin, but I like to get a solid vocal too! Much appreciation bredren !!!👍👊. Any update on xfader cut in time w the Rane 1 yet??
Most definitely the srt-1000 I just believe adding more fx in the tracks that your playing makes it sound better and I feel like it's alot more work also which is a good thing because you're doing more for your songs. I would think? Idk. But yeah my opinion even tho I'm a beginner I do believe lots of fx being mixed in tracks is creating more unique music.
I like whatever I gotta dj on, I don’t really use “effects” like that, I’m not gonna run down each sound of an effect I just ain’t got that time. 😂 but yeah you right Rane one I like better cuz that shit remind me of a turntable, but srt got a better fader to cut on but who the fuck wanna hear my scratching at a wedding lmaooooo
The DDJ1000 is trash compared to the. SZ... Rane One is a higher class controller over the 1000. Yeah the 1000 has a lot of features but what REAL dj is going to use all that. I can honestly say after 6 years on my SZ, I was in no rush to downgrade to a 1000. The power adapter is proprietary, and the internal components don't stack up to SZ at all. Features just means easier, Rane took 2 turntables and a mixer and made a all in one quality controller, the 1000 is half what the SZ is and a beefed up version of the SB3. My suggestion to anyone looking at pioneer controllers is get a DDJ 800 if you're looking to save some money. Or get a SZ/SZ2 if you're looking at a DDJ 1000. Btw, the rekordbox version of the 1000 is better. However, the SZ is compatible with Virtual Dj, Serato, and Rekordbox. 😂 So many used SRTs at my local guitar center.
I just said that, man yeah its coulda been a little bigger but I feel like you gotta get good no matter what your playing on, itll help you grow as a dj for sure.
