Thanks for sharing. I'm curious why you need a powered USB hub with the Rane One? It's already powered with built-in power supply and IEC. I'm confused. I've had the Rane One but now have REV7 and Rane Seventy with Twelves that I use the most. I almost bought a Mixon 8 but struggled to find anything it could do that I couldn't do with my NS4FX and XP2 using Djay pro. I just remapped a couple of buttons. I also used the Rane One and my Seventy setup with Djay Pro, but have found that it's always fighting with you on the moving platters if you want to turn crossfader fx on at all. It always ends up moving my stickers about an 1/8 of a turn or more if I do any scratching or other mixing which is frustrating. Thanks again. Great video.
Great comparison video mate. Always interesting to hear what real world dj’s think of the kit, how they use them, what’s important etc. it. Just goes to show that our approach and appreciation of our kit is as individual as we all are; what goes for one does not go for the other. I own none of these, having the prime 4, XDJ XZ mixstream pro (and many others collected over the years). Between those three controllers there is nothing newer that I need to buy that won’t give me the performance or experience that I currently have/enjoy. However, where I am wholly with you is the get up and go, little fuss with the kit when going about gigs. That amongst other things is why the P4 is my go to, and for even more convenience, the MSP (back pack taking the train for instance). Believe me, I’ve been there (djaying) from the beginning (as a school kid in the late 70’s) so seen it all. With that, interesting to hear your take on the Mixon 8. Not the most attractive I agree (although conversely I love the black), but it looks a bit too clunky, hefty, and utilitarian although reportedly does the job well, but it’s how it looks going about it (they used to say m that about Volvo cars back in the day). But the ease of use with the iPad, on e lead, is a definite plus for me (mind you not dissimilar from my wego 4, which I still use) plus has the latest gizmo’s. Anyway, keep up the great reviews 🙋🏾♂️
I think you made the right choice. Although I only own the Mixon 8. I tried the rane 1 and it did feel nice and it’s built like a tank but it just wasn’t for me either
I had to use a powered hub because I run djay Pro with an iPad so in order to keep the iPad charged I had to have a powered hub I was using the Reloop stand hub. Required a 35 W power adapter. I’d have to have three or four different cables one for charging one to iPad and then one from the hub to go into the Rane One. it’s not that bad in theory it’s just that once you get a controller that only requires one cord or a controller that doesn’t require any if he becomes cumbersome in comparison.
@@habitat2990 I totally understand, i use the reloop stand hub with 1 of my smaller Numark controllers and it works well. But once you get used to using just 1 type c cable to an iPad for setting up, you dont really want to go back. In fact the Mixon 8 Pro is the easiest setup I’ve ever used. I imagine the Denon SC would be the winner as the fastest setup if we were prepared to use its own Engine Dj software.
Is it possible to simply put regular mp3 songs on usb stick, plug into sc live 4 and browse and mix my songs? I don’t have laptop and don’t care about playlists. I just want to load songs and play. Some say you can do this, others say you can’t and others say that sc live 4 constantly losses data unless you actually make playlist via sc live 4 or laptop? Magic his true?
Calm down, I wear them around the house in the garden. I slipped them on to make this video because I had to stand up on a chair and I didn’t feel like doing it with socks on and falling. Thought of this when I was making the video that someone would probably comment. So congratulations for being the first person make this superficial equivalency something that actually has nothing to do with the video. Sorry I didn’t put my air Jordans on for the video for you next time.
If you have any advice what you think a Dj should wear on their feet while they make a video for you tube so they meet your standards and they seem more reputable to you give I’m all ears …
That’s the point bro they’re three different controllers for possibly three different cases or three different DJs I figured I just share. Are there any controllers that are like?
Bro, how much did you pay for your sc live 4 faceplates? Do you think it’s worth buying 2 year extended warranty with live 4? It only costs about £45 or about $65. I’ve only had 1 electrical mess up on me and that was an lg tv from Amazon that only lasted 2 years . Buying warranty just feels like gambling to me. If my shit breaks. I hit jackpot and if it don’t, I waste money 😭 £45 isn’t a lot but I just spent £250 on vinyl in 1 order on Amazon and sc live 4 will cost £1000 Saying that maybe I should just stop being a bitch and pay the extra because knowing my luck, it will break shortly after 1 year mandatory warranty and I’ll have wasted £1000 and that scares me a bit 😂
Fantastic review. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I got the Mixon 8 for its level of control & tight integration with dJay
Thanks might get that denon

Yea I was they had an option to change the whole skin on the Mixon. Where did you get those knobs tho
Denon is not a scratch control. It's not gonna have a scratch fadder or a platter design to scratch. That's what the Rane is for.

Can you tell me where you got the knobs for the Mixon? I own it as well and the knobs are def a bummer.

I say F inmusic and crap internal build quality/corner cutting. Sadly not much is out there (yet) the mixon/pioneer route is my next buy.

😅😅😅 this cant be real. The rane 1 literally blows those toys out of the water.
How much for the Deon 😮
Refuse to take advice from anybody that wears Crocs

@@habitat2990 my advice would be if you don't want to look like a child sex predator get rid of the crocs.
