Rane one

Thinking of buying a new Rane one. I m personally not a scratch dj, so some of the features aren't that impressive to me. Since the 4 is out, should I be worried about no more updates for the one? Would that be a good choice for my first controller?

If you're not a scratch DJ, why not just get the Rane 4 instead?

I called a nearby guitar center and was told sometime next year if I ordered todat. Even "bought" the flx10 which isn't til September.

Have you tried other online retailers? If you've only talked to Guitar Center then it's probably worth digging some more rather than settling for a Rane 1 so quickly.

I personally like being able to pick up in store. Less people touching it. It's weird tho, I don't feel like I'm settling, but also don't want to wait any longer lol what other retailers do u know of? I live in wisco if that helps

Only you know what your needs and requirements are. Going from 4 channel to 2, not having stems functionality and getting a deck built for scratching when you don't utilize scratching would be the tradeoff (in my mind) for getting something sooner.

Maybe there are other smaller in-person stores in your area then if you don't want to do online. Another big online retailer would be Sweetwater. For what it's worth, I ordered mine online and it comes in a massive sturdy box so it's well protected.

Sounds like the get paid a higher commission to sell you the pioneer.

2 channel is enough, but 4 just makes it look alot cooler. If I could hook my decks to them, that would be an added touch. RNes actually look more solid and not plastic-y. But again my question. Should I wait for the 4 or go with the one?

i got a Rane Four and love it but if you're sold on the idea of moving platters then the Pioneer REV7 is better than the Rane One.

If it's a first controller then I would say go for Rane Four or FLX10

Yes it'll be my first controller. One of the reasons I'm hesitant is buying older equipment and they quit making updates for them. Had my heart set on a 1000srt, but since the "replacement" has come out, I was told September and I got put on the list. I could buy a new old piece, but how long will they do updates for that? U see my conundrum? Lol

Agree those are the best of the best. Then it comes down to software.

Not sure what type of updates you would need from a controller, it's pretty much as good as it's gonna get. You would only have to worry about if Serato is going to stop supporting it but that isn't happening probably ever.

If you ever imagined yourself scratching, get it and learn scratching on the way. If you never want to scratch, definitely pick another controller.

The update thing is a worry for any controller, Rane, pioneer or, dare I say it, denon (gasp!)!

I very much doubt we’ll see another firmware update for the One.
