RANE TWELVE Turntable Controller Review
The RANE TWELVE is the only Serato DJ Turntable Controller that is perfect for DJ's who want to perform with turntables but don't want all of the hassle and difficulties of a traditional vinyl setup. The RANE TWELVE is an excellent alternative for Serato DJ's who are looking for great performance and superb build quality.
The RANE TWELVE has an all steel metal chassis, a super high torque direct drive motor, and a cool touch-strip to handle the hotcue and track search duties.

Man ..... if I would have seen this in 1990 when I started djing ...... it’s just so insane how far this has come in the last 10 years.
I love mine! Bought them this past summer and had the honor of jazzy jeff signing them for me at a gig! Thanks for the review!

Thank you for the review. I’ll wait for Phase, use it with my turntable and still keep the ability to use DVS and vinyl.

Good review. I like that. Now I want one.
Great video as always. I’ve had these for about 3 months now. As a mobile DJ who does weddings I got these when I got lint on a needle as the couple’s first dance started 🤦🏾♂️. Only issue I have is I wish the USB and IEC ports were recessed. In a coffin case, it’s either you get one with extra room for cables or you have to mod the case. Only other annoying part is the hot cue pad. I’d prefer buttons like you say as they are tactile as opposed to the touch strip but that’s me being super picky. Wouldn’t go back to turntables ever.
That’s sick. I wish Rane would produce a white control disk for the 7” One. Love the look.
Cool... Can't wait for the 72...
Great review!

My pair on it’s way home hoping’ end of the week or next including sexy Ms72🤩🙏🏽
can you show a comparison between the rane 12, the numark v7, and the denon 3900 in regards to scratch accuracy. that would be so helpful
I hope when they come out with a newer version of the RANE12s that its more of the classic tech 12 setup I mean start stop on the right pitch slider on the left there was no need to come out with battle style format cause there is no S arm in the way no needle to accidentally hit. So I would like to see the classic setup and and add a usb slot in the corner for those of us that like to use flash drive and not have to use it only with Serato. I think consumers should be able to choose which set up they want use Serato Traktor or just pop in your usb stick and go. Also be able to hook up to any mixer but not with usb connection hook up with phono cables and if possible a small screen to see bpm display like on the denon sc3900 had that small display the resolution was junk but im sure they can make it much better. Maybe its a dream to see all that but im sure it sould sell much better than the original..Wat ya think Blaze..
I was wondering when you were gonna do a review!
Thanks for the video they look nice How do I download the drivers for the 12 thanks
Anyone have these set in traditional mode? Why philly style if there’s no tone arm? Also, it’s nice to have pitch fader close so you don’t have to go across the turntable
Does it can be connected to pioneer ddj Sz and use the same mixer?
Let’s be honest, we are not buying vinyl and mixing with vinyl like we use to. Yeah sometimes I might play some of my records for nostalgia but 95% of the time I go straight to DVS. And personal I’ve spent the same money on needles and cartridges in my life to pay for two of these.
Badass controller but why does Rane only have the tempo slider in battle mode? There are House DJs (like myself) who would love a deck like this to manually mix House tunes together. Food for thought. Great review!

1CBRDUDE they are digital controllers so they will have a cleaner sound. I don’t mind the sound. If jazzy Jeff use a product. And thinks it is great. I also feel the same way. I like the rough sound of a turntable with a cartridge but this rane is everything we love about that set up without the headaches . Using them for 30 mins and then one hour this past summer I was hooked. I might get them next year for my Serato pro set up. And my TT for. Rekordbox set up

Battle position seems silly on a turntable with no tonearm. It also puts the pitch in an award position for DJ's that do a lot of beat matching and blending.

Technics missed a trick here in the dz1200 deck, basically the same without the cdj LCD Display jog , I've seen modded technics dz1200 work just like this without need of software, this is fantastic but it's what the early technics cdj dz1200 could have been , this is very pricey and for that I would expect stand alone quality, I see DJ using them and ppl thought they was broken turntables without tone arm lol this was club in London uk

the technics sldz 1200 were made in 2005 when digital djing was still in its early days, i had a pair and loved them due to the vinyl feel, transitioning from vinyl to cd and back during mixes using the dzs and my mk5s felt seamless. very underrated dj cd player in my opinion.

Classic is Technics 1200 motor speed while the High Torque mimics the speed of the Super-OEM turntables that are even faster than the 1200 motor.

To make it all work with Serato DJ Pro, you will need a Denon DS1...
Seems like a lot of hype.
I hear that it can work with any controller with enough in puts and serato pro but have seen not one video of it i know the rane mixers make the trio but cant afford it right now I have a roland dj 808 which has usb's on the back im curious if they would work or are they just for roland products ..and im wondering would they sync with the drum machine when you hit sync yes I said it it the sync buttonalso would they link with abelton with serato link just curious or are you riding the pitch controls like tecknics nd have to use a hub called rane ,roland and knowone knows serato says yes any ideas

I’m thinking of selling my 1200s to get these. I just don’t like the dust that can build up in the needles, the drifting when mixing on DVS. The pitch fading is also not very accurate , it’s always tighter or more accurate on controllers
Stick a plug in modular tonearm and an ad converter and it would still be an overpriced toy,
Are you still using it, or is it collecting dust?
