This is a GREAT tutorial! I just got my DDJ Rev1 this weekend. I watched this before I received it and watching it now that I have it.
i appreciate you 👍🏽
Thanks for saying so Tru. I hope it helps and I can watch your videos performing with it soon. I appreciate the watch
@@idjchance lol oh man I’ve got a ways to go lol BUT I’m learning more and keep reverting to your video because it’s so helpful. Appreciate you
success bro
I've had my DDJ-Rev1 for less than a week now & 10mins into into this video & I've already learnt a few new things. Thanks so much for this video 🙌
That’s great to hear. Happy I could help. I’m grateful for the watch Warr. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the in depth tutorial. It is very informative.
Thus by far the best in depth tutorial on the REV 1 on youtube. You've shown things I did not it could do, thank you so much!!
Thanks so much Stoo. I’m appreciative of the comment and the watch.
This is THE BEST video I’ve ever seen on the DDJ-REV1!
I’ve had mine since February and learned more in this video than any other unboxing, tutorial or just playing around with the thing at home before going out to gigs! BRAVO 👏🏽
Thanks man that means a lot. Thank you for the watch. I’m actually working on another quick one on the Utilities modes
Same
Sorry in advance for the multiple comments, but I can't stress how badly I needed this. The reloop explaination is seriously useful stuff
Glad you found it useful. I’m grateful for the comment and the watch.
I’ve had my Rev1 for a week now and I think you’ve covered all I need to get going. Thanks man
I’m happy to hear it Sebastian. Thank you for the comment and for watching.
Loved this in depth tutorial and the way it is presented in simplified way. Loved your sense of humor. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you Naseer. I’m happy you got some use out of it.
Absolute master sharing such knowledge!! Thank you sir 🙏
I just ordered mine from the cyber Monday special. I’ve learned so much from this video and feel ready to get to work when it arrives Sunday. You have a new Subscriber. Fantastic work on this video.
I’m glad I was able to help Thanks for the watch, comment and subscribing Majestic. I appreciate it all.
I usually stay away from longer video tutorials but I’m so glad I watched this I learned so much you’re a legend man thank you!
Thank you for the comment and for watching Gabe. I appreciate the support.
When I want a in-depth tutorial, I manually set CZcams search filter to "greater than 20 mins"!
Thank you for taking the time to explain this. A great contribution indeed
I appreciate that Andrew. Thanks for the comment and the watch.
Not only was this very informative but I appreciate all the references made throughout (like peeping DJ Bobcat rockin' his turntables in battle mode formation, also knowing it was called "Philly style", mentioning Mixmaster Ice of UTFO etc.). I totally rocks with those who know the history of their craft. Salute to you! #HipHopRules
Thanks for the comment and the watch. It was my era and then I got to work with so many of the hiphop pioneers and Zulu nation anniversaries and dj/mc battles for years and years. Good times.
To my understanding it was DJ Cash Money who came up with the battle style turntable orientation. He's from Philly so I guess that's why it became known as the Philly style. This was a great video overall, big up.
@@idjchance Well that explains it all, lol. Thank you for you contributions to "this thing of ours (Hip Hop0"!
Thank you for the in depth tutorial! I just bought this and your tutorial is going to help me so much!
Thanks for watching and commenting Sentinol. I’m happy to help
Just received mine yesterday. This is by far the best video on the Pioneer DDJ Rev 1!
Very well laid out! Thank You! Thank You! Learned a lot from this video.
But have to be honest, The cat or dog hair was driving my OCD crazy!!!
Thanks Again!!
Thanks for the comment and the watch Jasen. Yeah I have a golden retriever and the fur just flies through the air attacking clothes like tiny drones.
DJ Chance - THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! i'm only 26 minutes in so far and it has been incredibly helpful. I have been producing for years and just decided I should learn a little DJing as well. So I bought this controller and had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was on serato's website watching their tutorials but it wasn't helpful for the actual controller. It was just showing me how to do stuff from my laptop. So I searched youtube and came across this video. I am so GRATEFUL. Keep making content! This is already so beneficial for me!
Hi London. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I’m happy to help so let me know if you have any other questions.
@@idjchance Just finished it. No questions. You covered everything! Thank you again!
@@LondonElixir I’m so glad. Please share my channel with anyone else that may need some tips or if they have some for me 🙃
I’ve had my controller for over a year and never knew MAJORITY of what you just taught me. THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been watching tons of videos and no one ever thoroughly explained how to use the functions. I’m hopeful NOW that I’ll be making progress…FINALLY!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰
I’m grateful for the feedback and the watch. Glad I could contribute a bit on the dj journey. 👍
@djchance the beat jump feature is useful for exactly what you mentioned-setting hot cues. For example, you find the start of the chorus or vocals and you set beat jump to 8 or 16 bars and jump back to find the previous hot cues.
This makes it easier to do on the fly and ensure your phrasing is correct for layering, transitioning with breaks, etc. (obviously you need a little more attention with live music)
Thanks for the breakdown. It helps.
Great video, Just got my REV1 as a back up/to go controller a couple of days ago. Super helpful. Appreciate you
@@cigarbuddy7112 Thanks for the watch and comment. Enjoy the REV1 👍
By the way, holding the DECK/VINLY button for 1 second or more intervals changes the pitch percentage from +8, +16 & +50% before cycling back to +8
Great vid fam. I’ve been dj’n since March of this year using the small Numark Dj2Go controller. I’ve been dippin n dabbin on my new ReV1 for about a month now. And seeing these features was a great help💯💯
Happy I could help Brave. Thanks for the watch and for commenting.
Props on the details man. Thank you very much. I am going to get this gold version tomorrow :)
Thanks for the watch and the comment. Let me know how you like it
Dj. Chance this is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. You cover everything and explain it really well. I recently got the REV7. I’m not a DJ and this is my first controller and it will be of great help if you made an in depth tutorial for the REV7. Thank you 🙏
Hi Rob. Thanks for the comment and the watch. I’d love to do more equipment tutorials but so far I’m not making anywhere near enough money through superchats or Venmo to buy new gear. I don’t have any sponsors so each piece I review is out of pocket. I have not made any profits from my videos. I need a lot more subs , likes and shares. One day
Cool cool. thanks for doing this! I had to get a REV 1 while i sent in my S7 in for a line fader repair. The Shift tap BPM feature is pretty cool. Wouldn't have figured that out on my own. Thanks again!
Glad to know it helped. Thanks for the watch and comment.
Really useful quality walkthrough thanks, trying to decide between Rev1 and FLX 4
Came here for the exact same reason 👀 which did you go with ?
Such a good video keep coming back to this when I want to know something and it's all in here brilliant video
Thanks Dan. I’m glad I was able to help.
rev1 is so underrated IMO , i love mine :)
Thank you soooo much for this awesome tutorial just got my Rev1 few days ago!
I’m happy to help. Hope you have a good time with it. I appreciate the watch and the comment it’s such a huge help to the channel.
I just got mine and I'm think I'm ready to goooo..this was so helpful! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I appreciate you for the watch and comment Jazzy.
Thanks very much for the tutorial,it has really improve my skills
So happy the I could help Chu. I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment and giving me a watch.
Incredible tutorial, I was so lost before this!
Thanks sobia. I’m Happy to help. I appreciate the comment and the watch👍
So far the best tutorial about the RV1, not just the unboxing. I’m learning so much with this right now. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for showings us all the features in this controller 🙏🏻
I’m happy to help. Thanks for the comment and the watch. It helps the channel immensely. Let me know if you have any other questions or even tips of your own.
This is the best video I've watched on the Rev 1 you taught me things I didn't know. I just subscribed to your channel!
Thanks HD. I appreciate the watch, comment and Sub..
I love this video. Greatest tutorial on the Rev1 and I love the humour as well.
Thanks Jason. Much appreciated.
Bro. Regardless of the fact that you need to brush the polar bear you clearly have as a pet, this is a very good and comprehensive tutorial. Nuf respec! Definitely a like and possibly subscribe situation. I just bought the DDJ yesterday. I just wanna record scratching. No desire to DJ. But this helped. Thanks!!
Hands down the best video on the rev-1!
Thank you FPV. I appreciate your comment and the watch. It helps the channel tremendously.
@@idjchance Thanks for making the video. It saved me a lot of time
Very informative this video has taught me many things thanks
I appreciate the watch and comment Dan.
Its really a good tutorial, well explained. Keep up the good work man!!
Thanks Russkay. I’m happy to help.
Just purchased my controller and this has helped me immensely🙏
I’m grateful for the comment and the watch Mike. 👍

I knew I didn't have it set up right lol ur a life saver I've had this over a year I wantes to like it so bad but my scratching I knew something wasn't right I can finally out my old to rest
Nice. I’m glad I could help.
OUTSTANDING review!
Thanks PC. I appreciate the watch and support.
i got this a little over a month ago and this was recommended, and I was thinking I surely know my controller. Why do i need a tutorial. Well I am happy I did watch, there was a lot i did not know about before this video lol
That’s great to hear. Im grateful for the watch and the comment 😀
this is the most helpful tutorial out there
I appreciate you saying so and for the watch. Happy to help.
LOL at you still rockin DJ Rectangle records. That’s how you know you are old school.
Thanks for this video, saved me a ton of time. 🙏
Yessir. I love those DJ Rectangle or Swamp break records. I appreciate the comment and the watch Bert.
I had to like and subscribe!!! This content deserves an award!! you sir inspired me to purchase my own rev 1 and I am watching it again to recap. I am an algoriddim djay pro user- and just fyi all features work except neural mixing is mapped in right out of the box. Thank you so much for this video- I will probably be referring to it often!
I’m happy to help. I appreciate the support, watch and comment Vmes.
DJ Jones i just got my REV 1 and I found your video really helpful and hoping of become pro very soon.
Happy to help. Thanks for the comment. If you have any questions, ask,hopefully I can answer them.
I need a quick help, with the new Serato DJ software, I can’t back up my playlist. How do I solve that ?
@@francisgoku2609 back up into your hard drive? That will happen every 7 days. You’ll get a prompt when you go to close out of serato dj pro that will tell your back in however many drive is more than a week old. Click the boxes and proceed to turn off serato.
You are a flipping life saver!!! Thank u souch dude!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Glad I could help Fizzie. Thanks for the watch and comment. 👍
This was so helpful!! Thank you
I’m happy to help Abisola. I appreciate the comment and the watch.

So happy to hear Farhod. I also appreciate you leaving a comment and for watching.
Planning on getting one so just watching videos until then
Super Useful, thanks a lot!
Happy to help Arnaud. I appreciate the comment and the watch.
The bpm feature with the headphone button is an insane secret! This is perfect for setting bpm of streaming tracks. How dare pioneer hide that from me
At what part of the video? Trying to find this tip.
@@aliboy123 20:05
Thank you so much this was amazing ❤appreciate you 🎉
Glad I could help Soul. The comment and watch are much appreciated
Great product unit review and tutorial. Looking to get a Pioneer Rev 1 Dj controller for my dj work in the near future.
Thanks for the watch and comment Jerome. It’s much appreciated. When you get one let me know if you have any questions or tips.
I love this
Great video
Thanks! I Can’t appreciate the watch enough
Amazing, I've switched from, vinyl to usb and just brought my first controller ( this one)with serato and this is such a wealth of knowledge and expertise, I think I'm gonna be alright. Yes I'm old Lol 😆
Hey Moley. I’m happy to help. I appreciate the watch and vote confidence in the comment. Hope I get to see your vids up using this controller.
I'm aiming for that, I'm inspired by you, thanks brother
@@DJMoleyLDN I’m very grateful for that.
Pretty well explained 👍
Thank you Sharbel. The comment and the watch are much appreciated
Thank you !!!
Thank you sir 🙏🏽
I’m happy to help J. Thanks for the watch and comment.
FYI Trans mode; each butting increases the skip-time gap. Button 8 is a straight-up mute. Play your track, press each one at a time without scratching and it makes more sense.
Thanks for the contribution jman. This is why I enjoy this community,we can all help each other out. 👍
This was super helpful! I’ve been DJing for about a year and this taught me a lot of things I didn’t know about my board. I’m still having issues getting sound output for decks 3 and 4. Does anyone else have this issue?
Great vid. I just bought One for a flight out. Thx
Awesome. I’m Happy I could help Lonza. Enjoy and have a safe flight.
@@idjchance salute. Thank u
suuuper helpful, thanks :)
Thanks Jup. I appreciate the comment and the watch.
I am a new DJ and I just bought the Rev1. Thanks for the video I really learned a lot. I would love to talk to you see if I have my controller set up correctly.
I’d be happy to help if I can. Much appreciation for the watch and comment. What do you need to know?
On the cue button, I think I remember pri yon Joni mentioning its tiny cause turntables don't even have them. It's a little funny you made a star wars joke too, he'd love that. The tiny cue is just in case some one might want it but they are assuming ppl interested in battle style won't use them much
Gracias por compartir!
Thanks for the watch and the comment.
Tnks you .good job
Appreciate the comment and the watch Sony.
Hello again, this video is so good👌👌
Thanks Dan. I appreciate the watch and comment 👍
@DJChance this video helped me so much when I first got this, and I'm enjoying them so much more thanks to this video I'm sure 👍👍
OMG I love beat jump! I use it for an 8 bar intro lead into the next track. Say you have an acapella out you have a cue on the acapella out and a cue 8 bars back. You can use beat jump on the incoming track to go back 8 bars and its a smoother in than pushing play on the acapella start.
Thanks for the info Dash
Thank you so much !
Happy to help. Thanks for the watch and comment.
Dope intro
I appreciate the support TMB 👍
Great tutorial, thanks heaps! My rev1 just arrived yesterday and am looking forward to putting it through its paces!
It also occurred to me that the scratch speed buttons don't work for the basic scratches because they are only one click patterns... so in order to speed them up, one needs to speed up the "record" hand back and forth, not the fader clicks.
Cheers again, and subbed! 🤟
Solid video, man. Got yourself a sub🙌
Thank you Dima. I appreciate the watch and sub.
@@idjchance I found a good deal on an open box. Gonna take like 2 weeks to get here but I've been down a serato rabbit hole for 2 days.
@@DeemMalicious it’s a fun little controller. Let me know if you have any questions. Maybe I’ll have an answer or maybe you can give me tips 🙃
@@idjchance last time I touched a platter it had direct drive and a vinyl record spinning on top. Weird, right? Haha
@@idjchance hey man, just wanted to let you know I've been playing around with this for about 3 hours (took some doing to get Windows 10 Pro onto a Chromebook 🙈, I've actually had the controller for a couple of weeks but didn't want to spend money on a new laptop). Got everything up and running this evening and I must say...I am extremely blown away by the responsiveness of the controller with the serato DJ Lite software. It's fun for a beginner or an old skool junglist like myself to just jump in and even mess around with the preloaded tracks and some of the looping and filters. Absolutely love it for the price, mate. Good on you for an honest review. Respect.
I play fairly developed progressive deep to straight up trance and techno but i like this layout of this controller. i like the size and the jogs seem a comfortable size and seems like the mixer area has enough room to not be cramped and the up fades are further apart.would used the pads for stems and loops. would be even dope to do a rotary knob fader mod to be a rotary mixer. only thing not ideal is how the eq knobs are far up from the level faders. with long fade mixes I like the EQ knobs close to or right next to the level faders for each channel like the 19inch rack mixer style or old pioneer 2 channel 300(?)
for controllers I like the pitch control to be put like this battle style. out of the way since its not so vital on controllers with sync and nudge buttons and jogs. they made the overall package so its not the kind that tries to impersonate a mixer and 2 decks but it is a controller being one single piece of gear that has functions that still allow a 2 decks and mixer style of spinning.
GOD!!!My broo
Salute!!
🙏🤝🔥 very helpful thank you
Happy I could help Marcus. Thanks for the watch and comment.
Thank you Bro❤😊🤜🤛
Happy to help. I appreciate the watch and comment.
I actually use the crap out of beat jump, but first a bit of context. I'm somewhat of an intermediate bedroom/hobbyist dj that's getting back into it on the rev1 after doing house parties for friends back in the day when the numark idj3 was new. These days I'm looking to spin niche stuff. Right now I'm really happy with a 4 beat/half bar beat jump. I'm still in the process of setting up my library, and i do a lot of prep work during actual practice. I'm a musician and to me it's kind like sight reading, like sight mixing maybe? I know preparation and familiarity with your tracks is most important, but I have way more fun preparing my music while actually recording myself practicing mixing basics.
So for example, setting cues while I'm playing. Say I'm actively spinning an unprepared track and I hear a part I wanna have as a cue point. I'll beat jump backwards on beat and set the cue point on the 2nd go round. Its functional and it gives my mix a bit of a performance pad moment. Especially with the 4 beats/half bar setting it kinda mixes the bars together in an interesting way. This works for going back to a loop point that doesn't have a specific cue set to it too. I'm a pretty spontaneous mixer, but again i'm literally just in my bedroom so I feel like trying anything and everything.
Another really important use to my style and the reason I chose 4 beat/half bar beat jump is beatmatching with songs that have an extra measure in their structure. say I'm beatmixing track 1's vocals/mids over track 2's drums/lows. However, track 1's song has an extra measure right before the drop. Instead of letting the song structures get out of sync by that measure I beat jump track 2 backwards to keep the song structures in sync. otherwise track 2 would hit it's drop while track 1's vocal was doing its extra measure.
Last things that come to mind are when doing performance pad shenanigans with the 4 beat/half bar setting i can jump forwards and backwards to spice up a repetitive part of the track, or how it can help a lot in a live setting to cover up little beginner mistakes like not having a proper mix in for the current track's outro but also not having a proper cue point for the outro so I just beat jumped back a bunch to reach where a more prepared DJ would've had a cue. to me, beat jump is just a really flexible way to move around while still keeping the beat.
If any of that interests you, here's a shameless plug of me spinning underground hardcore for my discord friends czcams.com/video/W63cAlPdUk8/video.html
I'm not great but I'm having a blast learning
Nice. Thanks for the info. Never thought of it since I use the hot cues.Ill have to try messing with it more
If I could, I would 👍 this 100 times over. I sincerely hope Pioneer DJ has compensated you for your time and compensated well, good sir. I just discovered how to delete hot cues from the controller, a question which I had. Thank you again for all your effort into making these vids, mate. I truly believe, this may be the Ultimate Guide To The DDJ-REV1, bar none.
It means a lot to me to say that. Especially today being my birthday.
I just wanted to help out anyone who’d need it and offer what I know.
Pioneer didn’t pay me a thing. I don’t think the even know I exist. I buy my own pieces. It’s why I haven’t put out anything new in a long time. I can’t afford to buy piece after piece. This channel needs many more likes, subscribers ,shares to generate ad revenue or some “super thanks” patrons so I could get my hands on gear or sponsorships with some gear making companies. Thanks again for your support Dima.
@@idjchance Cheers, mate!! Happy birthday! Best wishes and to many more.
It's a shame that bit about you not receiving any compensation for your time and expertise. I think they're missing out on an incredible marketing opportunity.
Nevertheless, myself and thousands others really appreciate your attention to detail and the simple way of explaining each function or technique. You're a talented musician, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanx for the info, your funny dude :) I'm a subscriber
Thanks for the comment and subscribing SC
Bro has pets for sure😂 Great video btw! Super helpful! Ty 4 ur time & energy
😆 for real. My golden leaves fur floating around waiting to attack my stuff like little imperial probe droids…
I appreciate the watch and comment Noel.
@@idjchance Well done!! You help out sooo many DJ’s with this video. I appreciate you for ur divine knowledge
Great video!
I just got the DDJ-REV1. I have it hooked up to my Mac and can hear sound through the laptop speakers. But no sound through headphones. I noticed you are using a splitter rca cable in the back of your rev 1 in the video . Is that going to one speaker monitor.
Lastly the sides of the jog wheel when I turn they don’t do anything. The top part of wheel or platter when I touch works fine.
Hey there thanks, I am looking for this Limited Gold edition
for the tracking bank for the scratching where do i locate that and how do I set it up on the rev 1 I have had the controller a few weeks now.
Wow 🤩
I just got the rev 1 but seeing this gold one is making me wanna return it and get the gold one
It’s what I did. It was too pretty
Whats the cross fader like on this, is it good enough for advanced scratches?
@@maccagee693 it’s just a basic fader. Same one they have been using since the first DDJ. The most advance I can do is a crab or flares. Autobahns, orbits and the like are way beyond my skill set so I don’t know how well it would do with those.
awesome i just got this today and have zero experience. great tutorial
Glad to hear Toa. Thanks for the vote of confidence and the watch.
i use the beat jump for setting cues~
I just got my Rev 1 and I’m pretty new to all of this. I’ve been having an issue in which anytime I touch the turntable it auto cues for some reason. Even if the song is playing and I can’t seem to turn it off.
Thanks for this awesome super detailed tutorial. I have ddj1000 (recordbox) and I want to buy this controller as a backup controller and fun. What is better choice: numark platinum fx or rev1? rev1 looks awesome. Thanks for answer.
The rev1 is a great option because of the layout and to me, it’s better looking but for the same money the Mixtrack platinum fx has a lot to love. The platter screens, the long pitch sliders. I did a video on the Numark here : czcams.com/video/jjj2H_3II0g/video.html
I find myself always grabbing the Rev1 though over all my others in this range.
@@idjchance thanks and good luck!
Where are my sample samples? The first week of using the controller, Serato had four preloaded samples (a siren, air horn, that same scratch sample you’re using and something else I forgot). But now I can’t find them. Anyone know where they are?
Hey great video! I'm having issues getting audio when I have decks 3 and 4 cued. Any insight?
Can you show how to use the scratch bank to beat jungle
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate the comment and watch Sean.
My right jog wheel seams to be stuck on nudge mode any way to resolve this problem ?
