My current setup is 2 Technics 1200s with a Rane Seventy. I did purchase the Rane Four when it came out. I knew at that time that the platters were static however, I also knew that when Pio dropped their Rev 7, the Four would be the foundation for Rane's answer to the Rev 7 so, I sold the Four and went back to my 1200s waiting on the day that Rane would drop the Four but with motorized platters, it was inevitable given Rane's competitive nature. When I saw that Superbowl sneak peak on the gram, I was excited and thought it may come out towards the 4 quarter of this year.

Low and behold, what was sitting in my notification section on the Tube, this review. I knew that Mojaxx would give us a fair and honest assessment of this equipment, like he always does. Cleveland Terry is another one that would give his honest assessment. I do appreciate the work they do for us with these reviews.

I just purchased this and can't wait to dig in.

Great review, Mojaxx, thank you for all you do.

I happen to have had a Rane 4 in transit due for delivery tomorrow. I immediately called the supplier and set up a swap after watching this. Glad I did!

[GODInTheWax]

Mojaxx you're getting better at cutting bro. Good stuff!

[DDC-]

I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
I have the 4 with 2 12mk2’s and I love it but I’ve been waiting for spinning platters in a controller format with 4 channels.

Cheers for the video!
I’ve had my Rane One since the first shipment to the UK arrived and I still absolutely love it, in fact I think it’s been the best DJ equipment investment I’ve made in years.
I held off getting the Rane Four in the hope this would happen, as I love the motorised platters of the One and it looks like it’s been worth the wait.

What a fantastic bit of kit and being a vinyl DJ, this would be perfect for me.

[djflipside]

Best motorized controller in my opinion!!!

[torinmartinez]

This is the dopest controller of our generation! Thanks for the great, thorough review per usual. Getting one right now!

[OBDPVCR]

Looks DOPE!! I've had the One for the last two years and its been a game changer. (Apart from some build quality issues). IMO all Rane needs now is to get their crossfader more competitive with Magvel bc thats whats stopping alot of battle DJs from using Rane steady. The cross fader is EVERYTHING and Magvel is a cheat code with how crispy it is for transforming. But Mag Four with the latest Serato updates is still definitely workable, its just in the era of DJs as Content Creators you cannot cede that advantage to Pioneer. Nice job Rane!!

Great video. I'm super happy to see this come out. I'm not really a spinning platter kind of guy, but the screens in the jogs have me seeing stars, and I really enjoy upfader play, so this may end up in my shopping cart.

[DJBennyswift]

I’m really digging the Performer, thanks for the review Mojaxx!

[djcoalcut]

What an incredible controller. If it were stand-alone (no laptop), it would be perfect. I think I'll wait.

[stylesdavis]

Name a better reviewer than the Mighty Mojaxx. I'll wait....

[radientproductions]

yo that Mojaxx custom Blue/White skin is awesome!

[heathenshaunt]

I will take my rane one coming in today it's hilarious he says the spindle is in the way when us old school guys see it as a part to use, you can can twist it to speed ip or nudge a bit in contrast it's also good to pinch if a full platter drag is too much and I don't need all those screens keep it simple snd more reliable

[nesentertainments]

Great review as always. Love my rane 4 the layout is what I love the most and dedicated stem buttons. If I had the chance I would love this controller to remind me of my vinyl days on my 1200 technics. I really need to setup my 1200 and bring out my vinyl collection. Thanks again
