Rane Seventy Full Review and Walk Through - The Mixer we NEEDED, Not The One We Wanted. 

One figure sold me. Being able to record my mix and talk on the mic without it being introduced into the recording.

Excellent review - love how in depth you go into the features, benefits & drawbacks. Take my subscription! 🙏🏽

Cleveland, a great review as always. I currently own the 62 and never got the warm and fuzzies about the s9, but I do like the features and the layout of the 70. Thanks again!!

Very good review. I totally agree with having instant doubles/silent cue/sync buttons easy access. Also, daylight mode for menu display. 👌🏿🎧

I want to say thank you for your presentation of this mixer. I decided to go with this mixer.

my man cleaved always coming thrue with the amazing reviews rane seventy it is keep up the awesome reviews

Thank You CT! Appreciate your review.

I decided to go with the Rane after watching several reviews and comparing it to the S9 and the Reloop.. the deciding factor was the silent cue.. can’t wait to use it.. thank you for your review of the 3 units it helped me greatly

Well done! Thanks for the walkthrough.

Great video! I've probably watched this 20 or more times while waiting on my Rane 70 to ship (pre-ordered in mid-April). I think your suggestion about holding SHIFT + Instant Doubles tab: to toggle between modes is on point! I've been posting that concept in all the Rane FB groups hoping it will gain more traction and be implemented in a future update!

Loved the review thanks mate!

Great job on this review!

adjusting pad sensitivity is great as im a bit of a basher because my old 68 had small stiff cue buttons.I often over do it when i use cue points so pad adjustment is really handy .Also brightness adjustment is cool.

Fire review bro! That phono input and auxiliary phase/turntable is golden for us. The phase dj remote not getting enough power, was actually adjusted with a firmware update awhile back on the 72. Yea they went backwards with it, but i heard it was messing with the charging of the remotes. I think they took it away for liability reasons

Nice review. I think I will keep my 72, I like the silent cue and instant doubles and the fact that the loop feat. is on the face of the mixer. The next Gen. Rane mixer may add the things that were forgotten. For me its 72 for now. Peace... Keep up the good work

Great review. Thank you!

Love following you Cleveland Terry! Getting fighting the Good fight! Go Clippers!

@ClevelandTerry great review 👍 That split cue on the 70 is nice. S9 is still my girl tho, why ..too long to explain plus some Rane mixer owners may disagree since they already paid way too much for their lap dance, i mean mixer lol. -MB

I never purchase anything if you haven't given it a solid look. Thank you for keeping us music junkies satiated. 🤟

Nice review! Thanks!

Bomb ass review T as always much respect

I didn't really get all the complaints you were talking about. It looks like a solid mixer but I like the S9 and the 72 better. Nice work as always my guy.

I respect your opinions you are one of the most Honest reviewers I’ve ever came across so I have 1 question S7 or Seventy

Thanks for the Great Job on the review. This (MK II) is my first ever Rane product, I've used mostly Pioneer equipment and still do, but I was intrigued as Rane has a pretty good Rep! Now that you've Donne this review, Can you/Will you demo those review critiques/comments during a real live Play scenario?

Great review! Simple like that.

Great thorough review man! do you miss having no slicer on the performance pads? is there any way that we can assign slicer into one of the user mode performance pads?

Great review as usual. I noticed you have pioneer turntables, are those PLX-1000s? Would love to know why you chose to go with PLX over 1200s? How does a review of PLX-1000 vs 1200s sound? I would like to see that.

Great review.

cool mixer..Battle mixers are not my first choice,yet i would surely consider a Rane if I wanted to create another setup...

Reloop Elite, designed by DJs...love that mixer

I like the tension knob right on the front and the seperate loop functions.

Awesome Video... Thank you Great video

Hey Cleveland Terry, great review! Since you use both Instant Doubles and Silent Cue, you can have the instant doubles buttons as silent cue and just double tap the Load knob for Instant Doubles.

Thanks T honest feedback.

I like the microphone features on the bottom left or right.

How do you feel about the headphone control placement? Reminds of the old 05 Pro and how the headphone controls would get in the way and snag a finger on the way to the fader, especially when beat juggling. This is the one thing that holds me back about this mixer. Have you had any problems with that? Great review by the way.

Do you know if the 72 mk2 addresses any of these concerns? Is there a review coming soon. Love your work!

When will you be doing the Seventy vs S9 comparison vid, this is surely a burning topic amongst many DJs?

Great review again! The deal breaker is that you can’t get it!

Great review as usual, Terry. This should be at the developers at Rane monday morning meeting. Stay safe, Terry!

After doing countless research between the S11, 72MK2 and the 70....ive decided to order the 70. Dont need all the bells and whistles that the 72 and the S11 has to offer. Coming from the behringer ddm4000 mixer and a SL2 box....i think i made a good choice.

Using mine with a pair of sc5000m's and I actually love it. I got it instead of a Prime mixer because I'm more of a 2-channel mixer kind of DJ also the fact that it has Hardware effects that I could use when in Standalone mode. The one frustration that I had was the USB ports, oh yes they are not strong enough to handle the sc5000m's. I've actually had to use the USB hub on the 5000m linking one player to another and then a master line into the computer. I actually tried a powered USB hub and that only made things worse. For some reason the powered USB hub made the sound distorted. So now I can DJ with Serato and in Standalone mode and the rane 70 is working just fine, my only issue now is DJing using a streaming service namely Tidal, my internet connection is not strong enough my router is on the second floor and I DJ in the basement. Once I find a way to extend my Wi-Fi I will be golden as the setup is working fine.

I have this mixer as well. While I do love it, my tension knob came undone and unscrewed, apparently I turned it too far to the left. Not sure if I should return it for an S9 or just get it serviced from Rane.

I love how you say you aren't biased. Yet every review you have pioneer turntables

Hi Cleveland...whats up!? So, which model of camera do you use to record your videos? Thanks...Regards from Brazil.

Is it possible to midi-map some of the things that are enabled via the screen? ex: the silent cue thing you mentioned circa 15 mins

Proper review

I have Numark Scratch and i have limited space where i am so my computer on its stand covers the top end of the mixer .I will have to move things around if im to be able to access all of this mixer.

been waiting for this review! and where did u get ur custom vinyl?

I wonder if the UsB/ Phase situation is the same case with the 70 A Trak edition. Did they upgrade the usb ports with enough power to play with Phase in the a trak edition ?

Great review, waiting for my Seventy to arrive in a couple of weeks. Will maybe try to make a video too :) - For the Phase USB power issue : maybe an Y USB cable using both ports can save you (like the ones we get with some hard drives) - I agree with you about the instant double/sync/silent cue quick switching with color code, maybe worth we submit that improvement request - What do you think about their loop cues implementation on the pads ? From what I understood it's different from the normal Cue points. I think it's confusing. I would expect to save them by tapping on an empty one and shift-delete them like normal cues. I'm quite relieved that you actually don't hate it as I'm receiving it soon :)

Hi man,, I’m wondering if i can add a midi controller as a complimentary device for my Rane Seventy mixer to control more than two decks in Serato DJ? I’m currenly using a rane seventy with a pair of twelve to control deck 1 and 2 and would like to add a midi controller to control the deck 3 and 4. I’m planning to map the midi controller as a deck transport control and also mixer control. As the Rane Seventy is just a two channel mixer, will it able to send all the decks (1-4) sound output into the mixer master output?

sooo bummed I canceled my pre-order because of Covid and now no one has them.. word on the street is at least 30-90 days or more before any retailers have them again.

This isue with the Hub Usb Just break my heart 💔. Wtf rane! Another wtf is they didn’t include a dedicated loop section on the rane 72 mkii 🤦🏻‍♂️. Great video 🤘🏼

Can we "hold echo" 4 bars to creat loop with analog vinyl ?

Where do you find your Shure replacement styluses?

Love the review. One question - I have an S9 which I’ve used for a couple of years now. Is this worth an upgrade bearing in mind I have the budget for it? Does the feature set equate to a substantial upgrade?

hey man, i love your reviews, I feel like up grading from a denon prime go to the sc6000 and maybe using a rane 70 , since i am not using a laptop at all and just using the denon prime dj platform should i get a 70 or is it worth to get a 72 mk2? thanks for the advice :)

Does the usb/twelve inputs work with cdj + serato club kit?

Subscribed. Love the review. Im curious though. no loop feature? I thought A Trak was demonstrating this feature on his instagram towards the end of March. The videos are up if you get a chance to check it out. He also loves talking about how the seventy is the best sounding mixer. How when it comes to audio, it is much better than the S9. Just curious about your thoughts on this. Thank you

I’ll stick with my DDJ-SX3 for now...great review

Thanks

Got a question..my left side of my rane seventy is not allowing me to change the loop measurements on the fly...It’s only allow me to change it from 1/32 to 4 but not anymore...My right deck doesn’t have that problem. I’m not sure if it’s a software setting issue or a hardware issue? If anyone has a solution I would appreciate...Thanks

First, will watch later!! Just here for the roll call! 😂

Great review. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you set Echo to Hold echo and you will get a repeating loop for as long as you want ? or does this fade out as well

What to do I got rane 12 mk2 and rane 72 mk2 it load song up on my Mac but won’t play it played if I hold my cue down and my cue is red need help please

In your first look these weren’t working with phase properly. Did they fix that issue?

I plug in Phase to that usb in the back of the mixer and I don’t get those dropouts...I have had them plugged in for weeks now no issues with the audio like you are experiencing. The only thing I get is the flickering LED charge indicators on the remotes when docked but when I take them off the dock and place them on the records, they are fine.

I don’t understand why they didn’t put a hi pass filter option on the mic inputs. That was a major gripe with the 72. Playing on bass heavy systems with someone who is not experienced on a microphone was plosives city. Turn up the tone knob then you get high frequency feedback.

great in depth video. agree with you on everything. dope mixer but definitely not better than a S9. and a S9 is +5 years here already and almost worldwide avail in clubs. so not worth it to invest in a mixer that is not offering anything more than the mixer that you’ll find 90% in a club

So I really want a good 3 channel Serato mixer with pads on it and the only mixer I can find is the Mixars Quattro, but I don't like the pad arrangement and the efx and some of the other features. So would connecting the DDJ-SB2 (or some other controller/mixer) via usb, be best way to get more channels?

Where is the backspin effect for th e 70?

Hi, Question for you, how do you set the aux to be used for DVS in the control panel as you said? I want to use phase there exactly how you said you do but all I hear is a tone when I switch it there the way I’m setup now. Thanks,

I just bought it is about to arrive, do you know if the firmware has been updated since then? Thank you for your videos and for your time.

I have reloop elite but would love this mixer only for the paddles though. Thats been the only downside for the elite for me

I don't know if someone mentioned it but Phase doesn't need a usb port. You can power it by plugging it into a regular outlet

So my question is will the usb hub work with my dennon SC5000? I think I’ll be good but my rane 70 been back order since the Obama administration so I can’t see for myself!

Hey Terry, good review. I have a question please mate - I’m between buying a pioneer S9 and rane 70. Which would you go for?

Hello, I would need technical advice regarding the RANE 72 to find out if this mixer is compatible with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 (latest update) The drivers available on the RANE site are they functional under Catalina, as well as the firmware update 1.3.2 of the mixer. Is all this compatible? Thanks in advance 😊👍

Deal breakers for me 1. No BPM autodetect for playing from vinyl or even the SC5000s for the hardware FX! 2. No CUELOOP (which I have grown to like). They seem to push tone play like we are all threestyle DJs. I’m going to wait to see if there is going to be an S9 MK2.

Hello, would you be able to tell me the shortest crossfader cut in distance. I see it can be adjusted but no one has said what to. Thank you.

the usbs should really be there to power what ever you want to put in them .Its certainly possible to do this but i suspect that Rane was being a bit selfish and trying to make you only use them for its controllers ie the 12s,You are right its not a deal breaker but it is kind of taking the piss.

I have owned this mixer for 3 months. The faders are a massive step down in quality compared to the excellent earlier horizontal rail rane faders. When the factory applied lube wears out, the fader carrier starts to wear very quickly and will randomly stick if hit off center. The fader carrier is now a very cheaply made injection moulded nylon part - I suspect this is why there are now problems. Reapplication of the supplied deoxit fader lube does not last long before the fader starts to stick and wear again. I am going to try an innofader but this shouldn't be needed on a $1400 mixer.

I wish they would do a firmware update on the 72 so I can use the aux inputs for Phase.

can you use the mixers internal effects on samples when in sample mode??

But is it a worthy replacement for the S9??

Great review , thanks a lot . Should I wait two months and get the 70 or should I buy a S9 now ? I found a very good deal on the S9 and I like it very much . Any suggestion ? Thank you

many of the cons would be minor concerns as this mixer ticks most of my boxes.Much of its feature set even though tis a cut down 72 in many ways still is going to be more than i will need most of the time so your title is pretty accurate.

yeah its awkward having to go into screen settings to change things quickly.A hardware solution where possible is always better

can you do a review on the reloop elite mixer also; as a comparison....

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love sx3 and sz2 is best

Not a priority but...HOW DO YOU APPLY FX TO THE SAMPLER?

The “Rane” 70 mixer.

Can the Rane 70 store music ? Is serato available without computer on a mixer?

Great Review... I have a 72 and I just still feel it’s a better “s9”.... the 70 is like if the 72 & s9 had a baby. 😂

Or you can use Loopback software you can use for 72 or 70

Hey... I'm Tryna use my second USB output, for obs streaming, Problem I'm having is When I stream I'm getting the vynle noise tone and the music played together, At the same time, So I'm Tryna find a way, on how to cancell out the vynle noise tone. Any help will be great

Not sure why you have a loop issue that fades in volume. I purchased this mixer a few weeks ago and my loops go forever until i turn them off.

And the $1,500 question- is the Rane70 worth upgrading from the S9?
