  • If you’ve budgeted somewhere in the neighborhood of a grand for a DJ controller, the DDJ-REV5 should definitely be on your shopping list.
    ⚠️ GET YOURS HERE: passionatedj.com/hookup_rev5
    With full-size jog wheels, a DJM-like mixer section, tight Serato and Rekordbox integration, and easy access to stems, it covers all the bases for any DJ willing to mix in two channels.
    In fact, for the price, the DDJ-REV5 is THE recommendation. When it comes to thousand-dollar DJ controllers, there aren’t many to go around these days.
    Today’s budget controller segment has lots to offer, and there are quite a few premium controllers and standalones with astronomical prices. But once upon a time, the thousand dollar mark was where you found all the high-end premium stuff. As the high-end has gotten pricier and pricier, it’s left a Serato and rekordbox-shaped hole in the middle of the market… until now.

    Nice video. Simple demonstration. This is definitely the controller I was seriously think about when I am upgrading this year.

    If it wasn't for your video, I wouldn't have found a store that has this! Just ordered from The DJ Hookup. It was the only store that had it available 🙌🏾 .

    Thank you for this fantastic overview. I think this one is definitely in my future… I just wonder why they didn’t leave the 4-deck option that comes with the Rev1…?

    Does the aux input go direct through the master output and uses the master levels for volume control or one of the channels? Also, do the mics use one of the deck channels dedicated for each, or both mic inputs go through the master as I mentioned for the aux input? Hope that makes sense.

    Can you listen to your auxiliary plug in device like a I pad for a back up for a secondary device. I am always bringing a I pad for back up or music requested that I don't have in my library. I want to be able to que up a song from a secondary music source. Thinking of this controller instead of the 1000srt for serato. Great video

    The way they handled stems on this controller is how they should have handled it on the Flx-10

  • @sig310

    I might grab the Rev 5 until they update the Rev 7 bc I've heard some bad things about the Rev 7 as far as platter issues go so hopefully they'll fix that.. Until then, the Rev 5 seems like the go to

    Great video ! I have been wanting to invest in turntables/ Controller for 30 years lol. Iim finally going to do it. II was locked in on the Rev 1 but now the Rev 5 dropped I'm wondering gif this is A good starting point because it gives me something to grow into as well. Is this good for a beginner or would you rec the Rev 1 ?

    • @markrobinson8256
      @markrobinson8256 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Go for it. I was spinning records back in the days, and I learned on Technic 1200mk2. Top of the line at the time. I was 14 when I got those. Stopped DJing at 35. Got burned out. I don't think of a controller as beginner, and pro. If you like it and can afford to get it, do so. With any controller, you have to learn how to use it. Plenty of information on the web. I am 58 and just got back into it 2 years ago and my first controller was the DDJ-1000srt. I now teach a DJ class at the high School were I work. Go for it, and ENJOY.

    • @beanmediaLV
      @beanmediaLV Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Mark. Since we are here I have another question. What about the Rev 7 ? Since I want to get into vinyl as well I read I should look into that more.

    • @markrobinson8256
      @markrobinson8256 Před 7 měsíci

      The Rev-7 is amazing. I think you will like it. I just picked one up last month and tying to learn as much as I can about it. Having used turntables I felt right to me. It has effects that you wont find on other controllers. I think you will like it. Reminds me of the 1200's but better. Stop by one of the stores in your area and check them out. REV5 and REV7. Some stores have demos you can try. All controllers look intimidating at first, especially if you are not used to it. Once you know what does what, you will be fine. Have fun and create.@@beanmediaLV

    ALERT. I need to do another video.
    Now I noticed after DJ'ING for about 2 hours. When trying to activate Stems on left deck, it loads a random song from your library. THIS may be a BIGGER issue and JUST finding this out...
    The firmware update does NOT resolve this issue while using USB port A.
