Street date is next week I think, I am sure we will get a 2.0.x update like we did for the Pioneer controller that came out.

And no Serato doesn't control the hardware release date, lol.

And 4/4/18 is the day the 72/Twelves come out now.

Where did you hear that? Rane are not replying to emails, messages or anything else I've tried. Terrible way to treat customers.

I wrote them on Facebook to the official site. They told that they don't know the date of releasing and it all depends on serato. And I'm quite angry because at first release date was 10.02.2018, now it's 11.04 at guitarcenter.com

agipro has never been one to blow smoke up people's asses on release dates.

Ships on the 4th.

Wonder if the rollout is region specific? It wouldn't be the first time the UK/EU/US/Asia wen't in step with each other due to supply chain logistics.

Rane have now deleted their posts from all social media, the farce continues.

This one ?

Now guitar center is showing 4/19, ugh!! You're killing me Rane! Don't know how much longer I can wait.

I hope it's some kind of sick April fools joke, lol

My 72 is confirmed to be coming in on Friday, it is shipping Wednesday. Guitar Center blows and screwed Rane over on this release. That's why I cancelled my pre order with Guitar Center and went with AGI Pro DJ.

So yours is shipping on April 11th?

Wednesday is the 4th.

If it is confirmed it is coming in friday, then the following Wednesaday is the 11th. Unless he meant that it came in last friday and is being sent out this wednesday?

When retailers post ship dates it's the date it goes OUT to customers. Agipro is shipping it to him on Wednesday and he should have it on Friday, this week.

you kiddin me Johnny? I have been waiting for damn near a year for the 72. Of course I'm amped!

I'm saying...

Dealing with ScratchLive, I see I'm missing ALL the fun that you guys are posting about in the Help section....

...not everyones having all them problems tho....

I'm just going by what I see...

Hell, looks like you were even trying to get some Midi clock thing going via DVS..

yeah, but thats not stability, thats just they implemented it dumbly.

been solid for me, close to that SSL feeling really.
only issue Ive had is it wont play in offline mode after playing a set.

Oh, would you include that in LAME Mode as well? lmao..

I'm saying, it feels good to just turn it on and DJ.

lmao - I almost switched it to that mode to see if it played - shut it down tho

if you switched from ssl right now skipping all that last era - that would be well played

stability is right

This is why Pioneer is killing it...Rane Booth was in the hallway at NAMM. Doesn’t sound like a promising product🤷🏼‍♂️

Some salty Pioneer boys up in here, lol.

CROWN RANE 72, THE NEW KING!!! :)

lol @ more concerned about the booth, lights, t-shirt, and slapping logos on headphones and duffle bags than the actual mixer.

If inMusic Brand's intention/goal is to give Pioneer a run for their money, then inMusic needs to step their marketing game WAAAAAAAAAAAY UP!

Perception & optics is EXTREMELY important in sales/marketing!! It is almost as important as having a quality product that works as advertised.

RESPECT on the RANE 72 NAME!

The Rane 72 is gonna be nailed, its gonna be beautiful, ITS GOING TO BE AMAZING! There is NOTHING else like it and you broke boys rocking your Pioneer DJM S3's need to put some RESPECT on the RANE 72 NAME!

Ok, Pioneer is killing it because of the location of the Rane booth at a hardware show... makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, I'm such a dumbass.

Not everyone can be smart...To show off their Rane 72 in a hallway...not a good look. Did you see the Pioneer booth it was huge!

the 72 software was still at an alpha stage of development and they were only going to be showing it at a private site via invite only. They pulled it together by there were still a lot of crashes at the show.

Yep I will be an early adopter and will be posting a youtube unboxing and review this weekend.

Agodj pro sent me a tracking number. Scheduled for this Saturday. #early adopter.

Still trying to find out what's the big hype on the 72 it's an s9 with screen and RANE name on it.

I completely understand that some people may not care about presentation or optics. What we all can agree on is that it's important for RANE to release a quality, stable product.

Check out what was said at 9:20 in the YouTube vid listed below…

A mixer that lists for $1899 should NOT crash!! The hardware/software integration needs to be FLAWLESS for that price point!!!

I threw my S9 into the dumpster because its a piece of garbage and it belongs in the trash amongst my banana peels and spit out sunflower seed shells.

You’ve said this a million times we understand you had trouble learning how to use it.

its much more than that. It's a Rane, not some plastic POS Pioneer S9. I can attest, I threw my S9 into the dumpster because its a piece of garbage and it belongs in the trash amongst my banana peels and spit out sunflower seed shells.

I've decided. I'm upgrading to the 72.

I should of bought one yesterday when AGIPRODJ had 4 in stock. Now, I'll have to wait for the second batch to come in. : (

Nice. I trust you will post a review as soon as you join the #earlyadopters club

Sure you threw it in the trash.

whats the take on the auto scratching?

I am hoping this finally puts to rest the silly Turntable vs Controller arguments that pop up from time to time.

whats the take on the auto scratching?

i get it on the intro controllers, but if this is a turntablist mixer its kinda weird.

IMHO, it's just another feature available just like the SYNC button. Choice is all well & good BUT….

If I'm truly being honest with myself then I'm concerned about where the DJ industry is headed. What I mean by that is if there even will be a need for DJs within 10 years time?

Some say that the most important DJ skill is song selection aka 'Reading the Crowd'. That is an important skill for a DJ to have but there are also MANY other skills needed to be a successful DJ. The fundamental skills like mixing by ear, cutting, scratching, blending etc. are just as important! Another aspect of DJing that is also neglected by many is the business part(marketing, advertising,networking, contracts, customer relations etc.)

Overall, having access to lots of features is great but that shouldn't take the place of the basic skills needed to DJ. I'm very fortunate to have started DJing during a time when there was no SYNC button, or beat grid. Effects were used sparingly- (not as a crutch or replacement for skills).

Are all these new features the death of the current state of DJing? Is DJing evolving into a more live production oriented medium? Please feel free to comment.[/quote

Well said my friend....... You hit the nail on the head. Everything is getting watered down and sadly it won't change for the better because lots of money is being made. It's unfortunate but it's a similar situation with music production. The recording quality of a lot of music being made now is simply unacceptable. Some original files are so distorted. We pay lots of money for "big" name brand equipment and features is given precedence over sound quality.

lol. nah, that's what I'm saying SDJpro is more solid than the last... but you know... give it about 6 or 7 years.....

Anyone that has the 72 does it fit in a s9 case?

lol - so what are yall going to say when they add the 'auto selector'?

Actually I sold it 4 months ago, when it still had some sort of resale value (wow this guy is smart ;-) . I have seen S9's on Craigslist for $600 now, broke boys GO!

In 6 or 7 years, Johnny can finally try out this year's serato pro and talk about how stable and solid it is for him.

I sold my s9 last week for $950. I had it listed for sale for like 8 months. No one wanted to pay for it.

@ Dave-M - Does the 72 have any vents on the bottom of the mixer? I've noticed that the 72 doesn't have any vents on the sides.

My Rane 62 has vents on the sides & bottom which helps to dissipate the heat. I'm wondering how heat dispersion is handled by the 72? The last thing I need is for the mixer to overheat mid gig.

I guess I could always try to remove the metal side panels & drill holes in them for vents.

Good to hear. Thanks for the reply!


Happy to report that mine is working well now after the initial bad start!

are there easy to access pitch shift controls for pitch n time?

Loving the mixer so far. The pad layout leaves a little to be desired but custom midi mapping should solve that. Y default you have to reach up top and double tap a knob or instant doubles. Would be nice if there was a button near the fader that had it.

Rane 57 !

Funny enough that's the mixer I'm coming from

My biggest complaint is the echo it’s pretty weak

Not got that far yet. I will have a look tomorrow.

Are the effects totally different from the 62?

I ended up repurchasing another S9 this past Saturday when at the time the store had one 72 in stock and the rep was tempting me to purchase it instead. I had my eye on it since it’s announcement last year, and quite frankly I wanted that screen. I paced around the store for a good hour or so weighing out my options, but ended up walking out with the S9.

My deciding most important factor was versatility. I’m heavily vested in both RB DJ and Serato and majority of my gear are compatible with both softwares. Now if I were strictly in Serato’s camp, I wouldn’t have hesitated jumping on that 72. I love options and choices and my goal have always been not to tie myself into one ecosystem.

trying to double tap everytime you 'instant double' is crap.

let me know how that tapping a pad goes. I have my doubts.

Try assigning ID to the cue buttons. If they keep original function and a MIDI for ID the workflow might work.

the parameter buttons might work as well

another complaint about the 72.. the HP/LPF knob is in an awful location. It's directly below the bass knob. I found myself constantly attempting to kill the bass while mixing only to end up killing the entire track.

Maybe invest in a few chroma caps for those knobs?

Yes, from the pads. Only had a quick play, it's not something I'll use really, but yes, you hit the pitch play button and then the pads are laid out with different pitches on and I think the top left of the pads stays blue for the original. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's all I can tell you for now.

that's brilliant actually. didn't even think of that!!

I'm also betting somewhere down the line they'll be able to be disabled.

LMAO. $850 That's hilarious. You must have had a damaged faceplate or tons of abuse. You could have done better selling it on Steal-Bay and PayPal (aka let me hold your money)
There is one lucky SOB out there right now.Why on earth you would sell something that retails for $1,699 for $850 is beyond me but hey...rock on.

coolorcaps.com
I buy knobs from these guys. Much nicer than Chroma caps. They have XL filter knobs which make it easy to distinguish what knobs are filters and not EQs.

I don't know if this was directed at me or not, but if so this is my response. The s9 that I sold for $950 was in perfect shape, and the deal was cash and carry, face to face, no bullshit. Who wants to deal with Ebay and Paypal. They don't protect the seller. Send the mixer to some scammer saying I sent them a box of rocks, and I'm ass out, no mixer, no loot.

Nice URL typo... gotta love (/s) scrappy sites like that

just a heads up and HUGE WARNING:

the owners of the site use a JSMiner script in the background to hijack your computers cpu for mining bitcoin. foul as shit. had no idea when I went on mobile.. went on my desktop and Symantec popped up with a warning and shut that shit down.

Listed my 62 for $675... fair?

I woulda did $800 based on the quality you kept it in.

Listed my 62 for $675... fair?

Today, I just sold my 62 for $950 including shipping. So now I just have to come up with a little less than a grand for the 72. IMHO, only having to come up with a grand for the 72 is a good deal.

I checked the major retailers but everywhere is back ordered until late April- mid May.

Anyone have any suggestions as to which retailer in the U.S. has the best price + fastest shipping once in stock?

Try thedjhookup.com i preordered my SR2 and got $100 off. Hit them up for the best price for the 72 or agiprodj.com both awesome retailers

Where did you list it?

Anyone in the DC area? I need the 72 now and can't find any in stock at any GC's, called all of them. Will order if online retailers have them, but I need something because my 62 is sold and I'm stuck using vinyl till I can cop.

Why does everyone keep making comparisons? Can we knock it off already christ. Especially this Tecniq guy

Need a baby bottle for all that crying...whaaa whaaa😥

what do you think the orig run of 72's stands at?

100-500-1000?

has to be closer to 100 right?

No, I need it to make it through one of your weak ass mixes.

I just ordered one off amazon from rane directly. Anyone have experience ordering from them directly?

I didn't know you can do that. I just checked but Amazon is now out of stock too.

Oh well, it looks like I'm waiting until the end of April- mid May for a 72.
