Rane Twelve DJ Control System Turntable Review

Last Updated: February 7, 2018 By Sean

As we continue to check out and compile all of the information as well as our thoughts and experiences about our favorite brands from the NAMM show, today we’re met with another beautiful Rane product just released. This Rane Twelve DJ control system review will help you learn more about what this piece of DJ gear actually is, what it’ll hand us at our fingertips, as well as our thoughts on whether or not its worth the buy. For one, it isn’t necessarily a “real” turntable (as many enthusiasts out there would state, and they’re correct in a way) but that’s the point — it brings us a solution we feel is for spinning of the future. Let’s get into the details.

Rane Seventy-Two DJ Mixer Review

Last Updated: February 7, 2018 By Sean

We had a chance to get an in-depth look and feel of this at NAMM, so today we took the time to review the Rane Seventy-Two DJ mixer, all new for this year. We all know that Rane brand name when it comes to DJ gear — they’ve been synonymous with spinning since it first became a popular hobby and profession for many. We remember watching scribble jam in the 90’s and seeing that name everywhere on all of the DJ’s gear. So what’s new with them this year? Where are brands going these days with new mixers, especially as the technology boom continues to grow in the music equipment world? Are there vast improvements? Simple features to justify price? Groundbreaking capabilities? Let’s check it out.

Korg Kaoss DJ Controller Review

Last Updated: April 16, 2015 By Sean

All new, one of our favorites over at Korg Music has come out with a nifty DJ controller for a relatively affordable price point. We’ve seen a lot of high-quality, professional controllers hike up there to around a grand per, but what about the middle-priced DJ gear? With two high-quality platters for some responsive control, an overall stable build and a free copy of Serato DJ Intro included, you’re getting a pretty complete package for a decent price tag here. The ins and outs are relatively solid as well. Let’s check out the DJ controller in-depth.

Novation Dicer Cue and Looping DJ Controller Review

Last Updated: December 19, 2014 By Sean

We have a nifty little DJ controller at our hands here made by one of our favorite brands, Novation Music. If you’re a digital-based DJ looking to have a super convenient visual feedback of your cue points and loops, the Novation Dicer may be something worth looking at. It was actually a result of a collaboration between Novation and the creator of DJ Tech Tools. With some nice aesthetics for those of us who perform or merely like a slick looking setup in our studio, MIDI assignment and compatibility with most DJ software out there, it may be a piece of gear you can’t live without from now on.

Pioneer XDJ-1000 Turntable DJ Deck Review

Last Updated: November 21, 2014 By Sean

The geniuses over at Pioneer DJ equipment have again been steadily at work and have brought forth a brand new DJ player\deck that features a high quality touch screen with a GUI replacing a lot of their physical components often seen in their DJ gear. It’s specifically wired and more importantly advertised to us to work seamlessly with (the relatively unknown) rekordbox DJ software (best for performing), so if you’re looking for a program to use it is plus, but this thing also works with the DJ software we’ve all come to love (Serato, Traktor, etc). Whether the touch screen features are worth it depends on how you like spinning, as I’ve heard individuals use the physical components of their mixers\decks\DJ controllers for memorization so they can feel around without looking while performing to focus on more important DJ tasks. Let’s review the Pioneer XDJ-1000.
