RANE DJ SEVENTY – Two Channel DJ Mixer for Serato DJ with Akai Professional MPC Performance Pads Internal DJ FX and Three Contactless MAG FOUR Faders

This is by far the best Mixer you can buy if you are like me:- You care about sound quality- You care about build quality- You care a about usability- You care about your gear lasting years and been some kind of multi platform.- You care about class compliant devices.- You believe that pioneer is a heavy marketing company and expensive.- You are not and scratch DJ but you are looking for the best way to be more creative.- You kind of hate controllers and believe more on mixers and media / midi players to have a more flexible approach.- You are willing to pay extra money for all of this features and simply you can't believe why this mixer is so cheap and it have all that you want.- You believe on competition and this move from Pioneer in buying Serato is in the incorrect direction so you will like to boost companies like Rane investing your money on them.I will be using this mixer with two Denon DJ LC6000, for my needs this is simply an extraordinary match. I've been a long time Traktor user but now I'm partially switching due to the more innovative Serato approach and specially because of stems. Love my older setup (Play Differently Model 1.4 pair with 2 Native Instruments X1 mk2).Made In Taiwan and not China. For me that it is also important.

I loved my Rane 62 but it was time for an upgrade and there was no question that the upgrade would be the Rane 72. The only thing I didn't care for about the 62 was the cue buttons which are stiff and one has just recently sunk in. But with the pads upgrade on the 72 and all the other great adds/upgrades this mixer blows away any other mixer I've ever dj'd on. It's also better than the Pioneer S-9 which I was a big fan of.

Rane’s gear is far and away better built than any comparable product. Good value, good design.

This mixer is well worth the money!!! It has so many features, it’s cross fader is like butter, the pads are very responsive.. the layout can be a a little more intuitive but with some time, it becomes second nature as to where everything is. The lack of eye popping colors on the gains and levels gets difficult to see in the dark club but it’s not a deal breaker. Overall great mixer and flawless build!
