Why I replaced my Prime 4+ with the Rane One DJ controller

I've had a few people ask me why I replaced my Denon DJ Prime 4+ with the Rane One and Rane 72/12 Combo. I'll explain my reasoning in this video. I'll talk about EngineDJ, and Engine Lighting as well.

Both are amazing systems, and you can't go wrong with either.

I sold my Rane One and got me the Prime +. Love the thing, feels good again to spin in standalone mode after some 20 yrs later. Rane One is dope but I definitely don’t miss staring at a laptop.

I get the rotating platter thing. It makes a huge difference for branding and some customers just assume that DJs who use rotating platters are more "professional"

One doesn't have to be a "scratch DJ" to own and use moving platters. I always say use what you want, like and are comfortable with.

What I liked most about this was a cue button bc the Rev7 only has pause/play, not pace friendly.

I was about to replace my MCX8000 with Prime 4+, now I have to re-think about that. MCX8000 had bugs, that for sure will stay with the successor. For example the wrong choice of material for buttons especially Cue Pause button. By the way, Denon is not able to provide the buttons as a spare part any longer.... Hopefully Rane will do a better job....

You remind me a lot of myself… DJ but also play guitar, and drums.

I've seen a lot videos with this denon prime +.

All the djs cue mixing was off.

Seems keeping tracks on beats is difficult with this denon prime. ????

I jumped down to the Prime 2 because the 4 was just too big and had more than i wanted to do on it. With that said, i'll probably be going back to my laptop and tiny controller with VDJ. It just comes down to having a larger screen to navigate on the fly that does it for me. Plus, VDJ will layout everything for you much nicer than the 7 in screen from Prime.

I love my virtual dj, I always have it on standby in case my denon prime 4 has an issue. Well It has never had an issue. I love my prime 4 and using soundswitch with it. keep em dancing!

I agree with everything you said here especially about having more controllers is not really gonna make you more money lol. We buy these controllers for FUN!! I my spinning platters on my Rane One!

[orlandopalacios]

Im not a scratch dj thats why i haven't switch to moving platters

[nicollomaddalone]

Where did you get the stand(booth) for the prime4

[RznB]

from watching you use the prime4+, I don't like how the screen wobbles when you tap it. Looks like it would snap if you pressed it to hard.

Go super nostalgia and get silver technics skins with a gold vestax mixer skin.

Some Engine Lighting videos would be great!

I've watched the whole thing but you fail to answer the question you pose in the title of the video ;) Sounds like you're somewhat sado-masochistic in purposely downgrading only because of some appearance features. And a rotating platter, really, I'm from 1966 and that's the thing I miss the least. I even find it pretty distracting. Tried it with a Pioneer REV7 for a while, but I was happy I could switch it off. It's making me tired to see the constant rotating labels and lights.

I prefer flex 10 is the number 1 controller in USA I’m Dj and event planner we use srt 1000 and now flex 10 denon has good audio but Pio always will be the king

Are you try to show your equipaments or to make a serious vid?

[JohnSmith-knwt]

This video could have been quite a bit shorter. All you had to say was "rotating platters". Lol.
