    Awesome review, anyone that has a background of vinyl, gets my respect. I just got this yesterday, waiting on getting my laptop straight and I'm diving in 👍

    Good Review! And agree these days u can do allot for a little nowadays. I got a Rane one for my all in one. This is a very practical beginner level controller and to your point you can really do everything most Djs need.

    thanks so much for the video. back then i was so enamored on mixing and DJing, but everything was so expensive and i was too stupid to find good learning materials lol. 20 years later and earning my own money, i could finally continue that dream and this looks like a great beginner tool.

      How are you finding it 1 year later? I'm concerned about the durability of entry level controllers. Any problems with the jogwheel, fader, suddenly not working? Feedback would be most appreciated from someone like yourself who has had it a while.

    Great review. Thanks. I'm about to order one. Does the pads work with stems on serato 3?

    • @Deckademics
      @Deckademics  Před rokem

      Thank you! We think its the best entry level controller and think you will be happy with your decision. We have them in stock here if you are interested! - deckademics.com/product/pioneer-ddj-rev1-dj-controller-for-serato-lite/. As fare as using stems, you can midi map pads to use the stems feature. Let us get back to you shorty on whether or not you can replace one of the pad modes as stems like on other mixers.

    • @coolhandlex
      @coolhandlex Před rokem

      Yes, you can replace either the Loop Roll or Sampler pad modes with the Stems pad mode in the Serato settings. Happy mixing!

    • @spyderbuz7204
      @spyderbuz7204 Před 2 lety +1

      Since the Rev1 has only 2 channel/volume faders i think The software Wants you to bring down the A side channel fader in other to to bring up the volume and sound of the C side channel out the Master.
      So turn down 🎚️channel 1 completely, switch to deck 3,
      Play the song and then
      turn up🎚️
      You should try it. Let me know if it worked.
