very good indepth review- having started on vinyl n eventually buying my own dvs setup..i feel im gonna switch to full midi n be interesting to see how i like them as mixing house music less time is spent on deck n manipulating the tracks with subtle effects is where i wanna be heading but also have full control of the platters.n by considering the djssx or the vestax range is the direction im heading..thanks for the review n keep up the great work
yo, great rewiew! just wonder how precise/accurate will be pitchcontrol @+/-50% and if would be possible to change back-n-forth) the deck MIDI ch on the fly (i.e. in a 1turntable gig situation) to act on the 2nd virtul deck.. thanks
Hi Frankie White! I have a question when I connected my RP-8000 with my Pioneer DDJ SZ and then open Serato DJ but for some reason I have gray line only when I drag the song in to deck 3. I also updated the firmware already. But the rp-8000 is no communicating with serato, would you let me know what I am doing wrong...Thank you
I got the Reloop 8000 yesterday and the antiskating doesnt seem to work, as even on the highest setting (it goes from 1 to 3), the needle still drifts inward. What am I missing here? What may be set wrong? I leveled the TT, leveled the tonearm, adjusted the weight accordingly - but still the needle is drifting inwards on a blank vinyl. Is that normal? Thanks guys !
These have proven to be super solid since they've first came out. The wind down effect was something that threw me off at first for sure, but the built in performance pads lend themselves to some really creative mixes.
Being that this is a usb turntable, if I use 2, will I need 2 usb slots? Or do I use a rane interface? Im confused as to how to route the setup to my laptop. I want to get them but I use MPCs and keyboards in my performances and USB ports are limited. Furthermore would performance lag if used thru a usb expansion hub. Sorry for the book lol!
Jimmy Mac T.V. I think you only need one USB port. The turntable are linked to each other so only one needs to connect to your laptop. I use an expansion usb when I DJ. I notice no lag.
I'm doing mods on this deck to fix the issues... Mod 1) re route the power to a dedicated on/off switch at the rear on the unit. Mod 2) Have the twist on / off switch ONLY power down the motor while the rest on the deck stays on. Mod 3) beef up the encoder that is in the reloop rp-8000 to one with stiffer detents, like a Native Instruments x1
It took me 5 minutes to get used to using the brake adjust to do slow down effects. You can control the exact length too, bro. Way batter... Or just leave them in phono. How is the addition of a line output a downside?
+EmptyAtoms I don't see why you would lose features, since they are handled through a separate channel (USB). But I thought it would be good to ask anyway.
Well, yeah, if you interlink the USB between 2 or more players, they work by channel (channel 1=deck a ch.2=B etc) turning them off would reset this to default (you twist the rotary encoder to chose the midi channel of the player immediately after turning it on.) You also loose the feature of the break adjust, technically, I guess. Since you're choosing to be all 80's about it. :P
Hi, is there a way i can get my rp8000 to stop like a sl1200 without the long start time? in other words why didn't reloop have 1 knob for start and 1 knob for stop? Can this be sorted out with a new firmware? im on 1.3 will it be sorted in 1.4? Another performance trick i like to do is power off the deck to wind down the song but on a rp8000 the sound cuts out, im guessing this cannot be solved with a firmware update due to the problem with the way the deck is wired. Also, all d'js that i know use Technics SL, use there deck face to rest there finger so they can rock there finger on and off the side of the platter to temporarily slow the song down, if you try this on a re8000 you finger will just rubs on smooth metal, so i will have to make a raised platform on the side of the platter to rest my finger.... another annoying design floor imo. I can live with the raised platter and the sound cutting out when i twist the on/off switch but can you guys please sort the start/stop time? Thanks.
I have the same issue and I want this turntable. My understanding is that if you use it in phono mode it will still let the audio play after you set the power knob to off??? (like he did after 5:29 on this video).
Hi there.... Great video......... Just a little a question, Pls. if you can help. I wanna be a scratch dj ( DVS ) I have Pioneer DJM-900nxs and Traktor Pro 2 Software at the moment. What more is needed to do DVS. Buying soon RP 8000's TT. I tried to gather info online but it is quite confusing. Like you need scratch pro license now and Traktor time code vinyl's bla bla. Need you input... Thanks
DJ Jas Here is what you'll need - Traktor Scratch certified soundcard or mixer (the DJM 900s built in soundcard is Traktor Scratch certified) - Traktor timecode vinyl (these can be purchased directly from Native Instruments) - Traktor Scratch Pro 2 license (this unlocks the DVS functionality of Traktor Pro 2) - Ryan Dejaegher
It's the same deck but without the midi controls and digital pitch readout. Performance should be identical, although I haven't tested it to confirm that.
TheIsraelPost Sweet.I have a str8 150 and I love it,but I need another good table for scratching and the rp 7000 is what I was looking at.Thank you sir!
DVS! Nothing but a control signal comes from the turntable. Everything you do is just sending signals to the computer/DJ software and then everything actually happens in the computer. That's why you can use just about any old CD-player to control the most basic functions in the software just using a CD with the control signal. This is great if you have like a pair of CDJ-1000Mk3's and have all your new music in your computer. If you add like a powered RANE SL(X), you can switch between your original CD's and playing the tracks from your computer. Same goes for vinyl. This way you can keep your existing setup and just add new functionality. Cheap compared to getting a complete new digital setup and you're ready to go. Converting to digital will take some time. To do that with all your Vinyl and CD's, with DVS you can play all your tracks side by side while converting your music. This is also great if you are a true vinyl DJ, but can't find your music to buy anymore, or just wanna save your originals for special occasions. The digital files won't wear out :) .
The midi controls? The adjustable torque? The level of creativity? It's the future of DJing. Can't u just imagine the creativity u can do. It's way better than any deck. He didn't mention at a live show on stage it doesn't FEEDBACK either like Technics does under loud strong vibrations. It's dope for the price New concept and possibilities w level of control.

Im not shure for how long djs will use turntables as an interface....maybe only for scratch guys....hip hop and dj battles........To use only vinyl and not interfaces...im stick with Technics....maybe Stanton for scratches....
Watching in 2018 and I'm like...why did mojaxx just call himself Chris Breckly?
He also would go by the name PhatBob
very good indepth review- having started on vinyl n eventually buying my own dvs setup..i feel im gonna switch to full midi n be interesting to see how i like them as mixing house music less time is spent on deck n manipulating the tracks with subtle effects is where i wanna be heading but also have full control of the platters.n by considering the djssx or the vestax range is the direction im heading..thanks for the review n keep up the great work
Love your reviews man. Very knowledgeable and through input
both decks can be on the same midi channel as long as the buttons on each deck are assigned different notes or cc values
yo, great rewiew!
just wonder how precise/accurate will be pitchcontrol @+/-50% and if would be possible to change back-n-forth) the deck MIDI ch on the fly (i.e. in a 1turntable gig situation) to act on the 2nd virtul deck.. thanks
Cool review

hi! it is possible to show bam information on the display, like the numark ttx??
I got the Reloop 8000 yesterday and the antiskating doesnt seem to work, as even on the highest setting (it goes from 1 to 3), the needle still drifts inward. What am I missing here? What may be set wrong? I leveled the TT, leveled the tonearm, adjusted the weight accordingly - but still the needle is drifting inwards on a blank vinyl. Is that normal? Thanks guys !
good review guy.
So my english is not the best. i understand: it comes with mappings for traktor..
so can i use the midi-controlls with traktor software?!
I've got an DJM-800, if I buy just the turntables serato DJ and timecode vinyl, am able to play? (I mean without a Rane SL2 or SL$)
quick question Is the Korg kaoss a better machine than the Rmx 500 thank you. Anyone
Can I switch tracks in instant doubles mode with this turntable?
These have proven to be super solid since they've first came out. The wind down effect was something that threw me off at first for sure, but the built in performance pads lend themselves to some really creative mixes.
hi, where did you get the z2 plates?
Great work man!
Im looking to buy Rp-7000,hoping you can tell me are they durable and they last long.
hoping they bring out the Reloop's RP-8000 mk2 to fix the probs that this one has
Being that this is a usb turntable, if I use 2, will I need 2 usb slots? Or do I use a rane interface? Im confused as to how to route the setup to my laptop. I want to get them but I use MPCs and keyboards in my performances and USB ports are limited. Furthermore would performance lag if used thru a usb expansion hub. Sorry for the book lol!
Jimmy Mac T.V. I think you only need one USB port. The turntable are linked to each other so only one needs to connect to your laptop. I use an expansion usb when I DJ. I notice no lag.
What is the name of the cables you use?
this is my next turntable
I'm doing mods on this deck to fix the issues...
Mod 1) re route the power to a dedicated on/off switch at the rear on the unit.
Mod 2) Have the twist on / off switch ONLY power down the motor while the rest on the deck stays on.
Mod 3) beef up the encoder that is in the reloop rp-8000 to one with stiffer detents, like a Native Instruments x1
Anywhere I can follow your progress? Sounds awesome!
3:30 fix your eyes on the top rim of the platter. Watch the warp travel around. Technics does not do this.
It took me 5 minutes to get used to using the brake adjust to do slow down effects. You can control the exact length too, bro. Way batter... Or just leave them in phono. How is the addition of a line output a downside?
Will setting it to phono let the audio play through when you turn the on/off knob?
+DJ BIS
Yep. They behave like 1200s in phono.
+EmptyAtoms do you lose any features when doing so?
+EmptyAtoms I don't see why you would lose features, since they are handled through a
separate channel (USB). But I thought it would be good to ask anyway.
Well, yeah, if you interlink the USB between 2 or more players, they work by channel (channel 1=deck a ch.2=B etc) turning them off would reset this to default (you twist the rotary encoder to chose the midi channel of the player immediately after turning it on.)

looks like some fire terd tables!
My RP8000's have a rubber bottom not plastic. Not sure why your version has plastic. Weird
This record player has 4 speeds (78, 45, 33 and 16 rpm), or only 33 and 45 rpm?
3. no 16rpm
Hi there.... Great video.........
Just a little a question, Pls. if you can help. I wanna be a scratch dj ( DVS )
I have Pioneer DJM-900nxs and Traktor Pro 2 Software at the moment.
What more is needed to do DVS. Buying soon RP 8000's TT.
I tried to gather info online but it is quite confusing.
Like you need scratch pro license now and Traktor time code vinyl's bla bla.
Need you input...
Thanks
DJ Jas Here is what you'll need

- Traktor timecode vinyl (these can be purchased directly from Native Instruments)
- Traktor Scratch Pro 2 license (this unlocks the DVS functionality of Traktor Pro 2)
- Ryan Dejaegher
DJ TechTools I just paid this. I have Traktor Kontrol S4. Can I use this turntable with it? How can I buy a Traktor Scratch Pro 2?
Hello good video 👍what the better Reloop 7000 mk2 or Reloop 8000 or Technics 1210 mk7 ? Thanks
rp 8000 if you need midi, otherwise rp7000. The mk7 is way overpriced for what you get in terms of quality
Hi Chris, what can you say about RP-7000 ?
It's the same deck but without the midi controls and digital pitch readout. Performance should be identical, although I haven't tested it to confirm that.
MojaxxVDJ Thanks for reply... just looking for afordable alternative of technics.
I have the RP-7000 and I simply love it. Watch vids on my channel.
TheIsraelPost
Sweet.I have a str8 150 and I love it,but I need another good table for scratching and the rp 7000 is what I was looking at.Thank you sir!
what kind of mixer you got there?
stryker20 That's the Traktor Kontrol Z2 with a white skin.
+defcreator27 maybe you can make an "honest review"? She'd some light on the issue and show all those bad bearings out there?
What's the name of the mixer please
Felix Fischer traktor z2
Kontrol Z2
I don't get how it can loop stuff on vinyl :s

Still works fine
Chris lol Stop Playing MOJAXX!
a man using a laptop is a man can't trust his own turntables from not playing records
denon DJ VL12 PRIME turntable will blow this away 2 times more tork then this away lol
True
