    This is why i still have my library of records. And will never get rid or sell them. And I'll always collect more records. But im still in the game of this future Dj life. I just won't depend on just computers to store all my music. Technic 1200 till I die.💯🤘

      I agree with you. I have been in the dj game for over 30 years and have never used anything but vinyl and I love my second pair of 1200's I have had for 26 years.

    For now, I'm done with mixers altogether. I haven't had a situation where I need a mixer in a long time, so a controller does everything I need it to do, and so much I like having access to.
    I could see one day getting a mixer and cdj (or turntable) setup, just to feel the nostalgia flow through me and blow some cash, but it's definitely not anything I'm looking into anytime soon

    Been using my 20 year old Vestax PMC-07 Pro with a Rane SL2 box and Serato DJ Pro on Mac Big Sur (and classic vinyl records). Unfortunately, can't get Serato Video to work with my set up (needs MIDI capabilities) so looking for a new mixer. This video makes me want to just stick to my set up!

  • @djx-factor992
    @djx-factor992 4 года назад +4

    Great topic! The companies that manufacture the hardware know exactly what they are doing.. it's being done on purpose. They are greedy and forcing our hands as dj's to constantly buy new hardware and upgrade. Case in point... Pioneer DJ when they came out with Rekordbox. All of the "nicer" and "premium" pioneer dj controllers were only for Recordbox. Serato dj users were cast on the side until recently when they threw us a bone in the form of the DDJ-1000 SRT...which by the way STILL does not have all of the bells and whistles of the original DDJ-1000 for Recordbox. Greed! Greed! Greed! That's the bottom line. Great video as always Cleveland!

      @brandonunger1689 4 года назад +4

      100% truth. It's actually really bad business for any company to stop supporting hardware they sold to the public and are just playing selling tactics to force customers to upgrade to their latest and greatest. It's like if I buy a tool for my shop and the motor is pre-programmed to stop working after so many hours, just because Dewalt did this on purpose so that I would have to buy their latest tool would be a horrible business practice. What these DJ companies are doing is no different than that analogy. It's shady as hell. If you sell something to the public, then it should be supported for as long as it's physically capable.

    i agree with u, non class compliant hardware is ridiculous. in this day even a mixer from 10 years ago should still work. the USB interfaces have not changed and the software has only improved. i bet u can take a old MP3 player from 2003 and plug it and it will still work. I know on the mac apple uses specific drivers to make most USB devices just plug and play. the fact that a manufacturer would go out of their way to restrict flexibility or just neglect its user base is absurd.
    i commend virtual dj for having a team constantly keeping old devices supported its not easy but they still do it. i currently have a SZ (1) and still wonder why pioneer never gave a firmware update since 2017. companies should be held accountable for having their devices work. when they charge $2000 for a product it should not only be valued for 2 years.

  • @Thyst1
    @Thyst1 4 года назад +4

    Dam right!!!! I remember having analog mixers/turntables ect for 10-20 years. I am just a bedroom Dj now (retired from mobile djing and recording/engineering in 2003) so I don’t buy equipment often. I can go with the same controller/mixer for at least 15 years! I still have a 2011 MacBook Pro and I ain’t buying another one until it ceases to function. I hope that my Tractor Kontrol S4 is compliant!!! That &)!@! Cost me over $900!!!! My MPC Studio Silver Better work for 15 more years tooo!!! I still own a JVC double cassette deck and it still works! Mess around and I’ll go back to ADAT and cutting /splicing Tape!!!
    They do the same thing with cellphones!! I gotta buy a new phone every 3 yrs. I still have my old Razors in a drawer and my blackberrys too.
    My mother-in-law had an iPhone 4 that could no longer be upgraded. I still have my old itouch with over 5k songs on it. It won’t hold a charge after one hour. Analog lasted longer!

    Very informative video sir. This lockdown has had me troubleshooting, brainstorming and testing all sorts of setups for online video. You vids have been particularly helpful, and this specific video made me realise the reason my audio interface seems to be broken is because it isn't class compliant. Going forward I will never again purchase a usb device that doesn't meet that criteria.

    I was looking into buying a new mixer but my 57 SL still functions fine (always well looked after) travelled with me to so many gigs for over 10 yrs now.
    I chose to buy a Denon DS1 serato box and an effects unit for about a third price of a new DJM S9 or Rane 72 or 70.
    Now using my 57 SL with serato DJ pro with access to all features and its great.

    • @jnd2415
      @jnd2415 4 года назад +1

      Same here, 57SL with SL3 and SP1. The 57 is still an awesome mixer and will probably out last these new mixers. Too much technology in these mixers, somethings bound yo go wrong.

  • @djnikko
    @djnikko 4 года назад +6

    Great video. I still believe in analog mixers with no digital or software interface. I can't comprehend buying a mixer that has a shelf life, or count down to being obsolete. I'm still using my 4 channel Denon X1600. it's never let me down and handles small to large jobs.

    • @aaronfoley8991
      @aaronfoley8991 4 года назад

      I agree completely. I have a few midi mixers but my favorite mixer at the moment is a mint condition Tascam X-8 that's analog. It was made in Spain by Ecler and sounds terrific. I use it more than my other more modern boards at home just for the sound quality.

    I still have my old gemini mixer that it analog and that thing is over 20 years old and it still works. For me personally I'm going to stick with a controller for now to get back into practice and hopefully soon upgrade to a XDJ-RX2 since I do not want to be tied to a computer if I do not have to. (Just need to rebuild my music library)

  • @ls4life544
    @ls4life544 4 года назад +2

    The why answer to your question is because people do not work together towards a common goal. While there is people with money to spend and to say they are the first to have the latest gadget they will give company reason to do what they one buy buying the new product. By the way when is Pioneer getting a new mixer or making needed changes to the S9.

    Very insightful, thank you. I don't think I can say I'd ever do AWAY with a mixer because that's just what learned from but in these times and for the small things controllers are great! Very good question, I will have to ponder on that thought. I go back and forth all the time, mainly because of my vinyl usage. Thanks again.

    I've never had a serato mixer. After the Rane 2 Serato box with a analog mixer I went straight to entry level controllers which worked great for DJing for my artist' shows. Never a problem. Now that I'm doing more birthdays and weddings, I got an upgrade. But now, you had to say something about the SX3, which has me nervous! My SX3 works fine with Catalina at this moment. Are you expecting a problem on the next OS?

  • @TangleWireTube
    @TangleWireTube 4 года назад +1

    This is such a great video. I bought a 62 second hand. Tested it on site, and have not been able to get it to work with Serato. It feels like a puzzle of trying to line up the correct firmware, audio driver, mac/pc, operating system version, & Serato software version. I've got it to work in some cases, but then it will play a horrible loud distortion noise a radnom intervals that is defening (litterally dangerous for a live preformance). Or the sofware will just strait up not recognize the the audio cards.
    I love the fader, and feel of the mixer. It's solid hardware. But on it's software end, it's abandoned and left dying in a ditch.
    It's a shame really, as it such a dope mixer. Still works great with my legit vinyle though.

  • @nightlifeking
    @nightlifeking 4 года назад +1

    I’m an IT Pro/DJ and when DJs or clients would ask why I was using a PC, I would just say because the drivers don’t work on my Mac. I started to notice not having the Mac logo on the back of my computer started hurting my perceived value so I just gave in and upgraded my controller. But everything was running just fine. Go figure.

  • @beatzandwheels
    @beatzandwheels 3 года назад +1

    The thing you've said during the 7th minute of the video is the developers perspective... not everybody has a laptop JUST FOR SERATO...
    Sometimes you have to upgrade bc of another programm or new hardware you bought (which sometimes only works with the newest version of mac os at the time it has come out)
    I mean I have multiple computers. One I use for work and university and another I use for djing and my imac I mainly use for video editing and beatmaking with maschine and ableton...
    It gets freaking complicated if companies really think that everybody has a laptop for every programm or every piece of hardware.
    A few months ago I had to make the decision if I want to upgrade my operating system and serato to the newest version OR if I want to still be able to use my maschine mk3 with my newer laptop.
    The funny thing is I still use serato scratch live on my 57 with my 11 year old macbook. Still works but I fucked up my itunes integration by upgrading itunes on that maschine^^

      The only real work-a-round is to buy either a Reloop Flux or Denon DS-1 box and not using the onboard sound card. I’ve been using the DS-1 with an old TTM-57 SL and it works great.

  • @staffordalvi1929

    @gregaluise5727 4 года назад +4

    I think you said it yourself: "we gave these people this dirvers in the operating system seven months ago so..." That has always been the case for developers to have early access to Apples Operating systems a half a year or longer to begin working on bugs. If said vendors choose to be non-class compliant then I really feel like the burden should then be on them to ensure that they stuff works prior to release. If "they don't have enough resources" or whatever other excuse is offered then they really have no reason to not be class compliant.
    I know this is a Serato focused video, but you know the funny thing: The Native Instruments Z2 mixer is so long in the tooth at this point (10/5/2012 > 7 years old at this point) and since it is a class compliant device it still works to this day! The funny thing is a lot of DJs will turn their nose up at that mixer saying "oh that's old, that's out of date, you're still rockin' that?, etc..."
    To me it seems like Pioneer and Serato are battling to be the "Apple of the DJ world": Planned obsolesce and producers of fine "status symbol" / "envy producing" gear that is not necessarily better (only better by "brand" and "how cool one is" for owning said product).
    Oh well, rant over. Either way, myself and another viewer were shouting you out on @John Simmons live stream last night (with @DJBARRNJ, DJ Rick Webb, etc...) in the hopes they will include you in a future one!

    I've been systematically commenting, pointing out and challenging manufacturers in social networks, forums and RUclips on their incoherence of this "proprietary driver" spec. in their products.
    I believe it's good that Cleveland, and hopefully the rest of the vlog/review community is putting the topic on focus.
    To go deeper in the reasons to only invest on Class Compliant products :
    - There is nothing that technically limits a Audio/MIDI class compliant product Vs a proprietary driver one
    - As Cleveland suggests, a proprietary driver product is way more likely to bring you into temporary or definitive compatibility issues, making your system unstable and your product obsolete a few years after purchase
    - Previous point will reduce the resale value of your product to close to 0 at the occasion
    -iOS/iPadOS works only with class compliant products and when you check out the latest iPadOS and iPad Pro, you probably don't want to miss the option to replace your laptop with it for DJing or music making in the future.
    In the DJ/Music gear industry, those who mainly use proprietary drivers are :
    - Pioneer DJ (except on lowest end controllers/mixers),
    - Native Instruments (they kinda are but it's enabled by Controller Editor software which is proprietary),
    - Roland (except for some products with generic mode),
    - Electron.
    Most others use class compliant interfaces, to mention a few : Allen & Heath, Denon, Rane (since a few years), Numark, Reloop, Akai Pro (on DJ products), Mixars, Arturia, Yamaha, Zoom (through generic mode option), Tascam, Novation. They all make their products Audio/MIDI class compliant or provide a mode in their settings for that.
    Apple has been pushing forward standard drivers and for Audio/MIDI class compliant interfaces because they have suffered in the past from low hardware compatibility in their platform when the Mac had low marketshare. And though it now has great marketshare, they continue to push for that because it also happens to bring OS stability by removing the interoperability issue proprietary drivers typically suffer from (blue screen of death anyone ? :))
    Notice Apple is now even informing its developers of forthcoming depreciation of kernel extensions on macOS. They probably want macOS to work like iOS/iPadOS and support only standard driver designed hardware. This could eventually put pressure on hardware makers to create products with class compliant Audio/MIDI interfaces or generic type drivers for non music products (they have the same strategy for pointer devices, network adapters, printers etc).

    It's 2023 and I'm watching this... My Rane 68 was very expensive when I first got it. Now it's just a regular mixer, I can't reassign midi control buttons etc with new Reloop FLUX hardware connected. It's truly a a regular mixer/paperweight now. My Behringer DDM4000 is class compliant but is a nightmare to setup with the memorization of buttons so I'm forced to return my NEW ReLoop FLUX Serato box and swap it for a Numark Scratch Mixer. Go figure!

    TL;DR watch out for Macs with a T2 chip: USB audio interfaces will “skip” and those interfaces aren’t stable especially on macOS Catalina.
    Great video! That’s why I generally like class-compliant devices and also like having my DVS device separate (like the Denon DS-1) from my mixer. However, the newer Macs with a T2 chip process audio through the T2. Even with class compliance, there is a bug somewhere (AppleUSBAudio, Core Audio, AVFoundation framework) that causes audio to “skip.” The audio engine “pauses” because of “overload.”
    Anyone with a Rane 70 or a Reloop Elite and a MacBook with T2 having “skipping” issues?

    Man, good video. I truthfully hadn't even considered this as an issue but now it makes me think. For example the youngest midi mixer I own is the Mixers duo 2 and my others are a pioneer djm t-1 and Traktor Z2. Both relatively old by today's standards. All of these I'm assuming are not class compliant as they need updated drivers. I'm an admitted gear hoarder and hate selling equipment but maybe I should sell these off before they're no longer usable as software advances...

  • @EddietheHouserocker
    @EddietheHouserocker 7 месяцев назад

    Yes I know this is an old video but the topic is still valid today, I feel that anything over $700 should be class compliant and should work forever! I mean it's only audio routing standards and midi channel assignments, if a device follows those 2 standards than the only reason to upgrade would be for added functions/features or better actual hardware, NOT cause it was just written out of the software for no reason!

    Hey so , I’m looking to buy a mixer where I can use both serato and vinyl and still use the sound effects from the mixer to use with vinyl . But also just for bedroom use or mobile use or small bars . I always loved the s9 but brand new is still to expensive. My budget is between $500 - 900. I found a couple of used rane 62 for 600 or 700 bucks but I also found a used S9 for 900 bucks . I use serato but only use serato lite , my Mac book needs to be updated to use pro . But I wana use it right now for mostly vinyl . What do you guys recommended?

    Honestly i' d happily pay hundreds of dollars just to get serato dj working on my rane 62 with a new laptop in 2022!!!
    This is the best mixer ever IMAO.
    Love the simplicity of it and the Filter FX is so dope on my old tropical records! it adds something really special to my mixes and is absent from all new mixers!! Can t see myself working without it now..
    Lately i' ve been investing in vinyls heavyly. Just spent 3 month ripping them 24/7 on my old macboook to realise there are often glitches in the sound and many tracks are unusable. Next my macbook dies and now i m stuck with no laptop an obsolete mixer in perfect condition and no good solution in sight.. Makes me want to kill myself seriously.. I personally don t need all the pads and blings of the rane seventy, 72, djms9.. Also i need to do alot EQ's and i hate that they increased the lenght of the new mixers, pushing the eq section further to the very top, wich will force me to bend my back even more to reach them.. I ve always loved Rane products for the superior sound quality and built of their gear. I also still own my now obsolete SL3 that i started DJing with when it came out. Please Rane help us Old Chool Dj's!! A pay for update or a new simple class-compliant 2 chanel mixer with the Filter fx would save it!!
    Please! Please! Please! I really need this!
    Been slowly working my way up to the craziest eclectical DJ set, practicing my technics and selections for 15 years, mixing all genres of music with a special love for funky tropical grooves and oldschool Hip hop. Ground breaking stuff for real!!
    Now I'm stuck and don t now what to do... Help!!!!!

  • @djvinyltouch
    @djvinyltouch 4 года назад

    So class compliance does eliminate breakages between OS updates, and yes non class compliance can be used to force obsolescence. However, there is an argument for developing ur own driver - if the OS update breaks anything in the OS audio driver, now the hardware manufacturer has to work with the OS developers to solve the problem. You might think never happens but it does. The Traktor Kontrol Z2 is class compliant... but a few years ago, I used to experience audio dropouts on MacOS. As it turns out, Native Instruments claimed the bug was in the OS itself...i.e. coreaudio driver. It took at least a year for this to be fixed. When you have ur own driver, u have more control of such issues. The truth is the decision u make for driving the hardware can introduce dependence or reduce it, at the expense of convenience, it's not only the money making aspect that is in play here.

  • @priyonjoni

    It's a crazy thing... This thing called obsolescence.... Up until week ago, here now 4 months into 2021 - I was trying to find a way make sense of buying an Allen and Heath Xone 92 an analog mixer ...just many for being known for a club standard back in the day but if I want to do DVS? I need the SL3 or SL5 serato box...but man...it scared me that those devices are old too...I didn't want to go too deep with old hardware and end of with obsolescence. All DJ things going the way of Apple, and it is not cool!

    On the Windows side the driver issue is not as serious, now on a Mac OMFG! I've come to terms that my "Live performing" Mac I just have to run older versions of MacOS and it's actually ok since that particular laptop is strictly for Live mixing so as long as Serato DJ itself runs I'm cool

    @RaquelFoster 4 года назад

    You can find a DJM-850 for $700 or a DJM-900NXS in good condition for $900. They both work with Serato with no drivers. The 900 isn't the cheapest thing ever, but it's something to keep in mind before you get something with major drawbacks. They're always available on eBay. It still gets updates, I still see them in clubs, it has LAN if you ever get CDJs, and it has working drivers to send the 24-bit USB digital audio output straight into Audacity or OBS or whatever. They last forever. I don't even think the NXS2 is a real improvement. If I ever sold mine it would probably be to get a V10, and that's not happening anytime soon.

My reason? Good DJ hardware is expensive, i dont buy it for a year or two i buy them for a long timeeeeee. Plus It wouldnt the first time a controller that needed a driver has... done something funny during a session... With a class complient hardware that is sooo much harder.

    Yes you should anything else will have support droped sooner or later. Vestax controllers are still working with most recent serato but decade old mixer somehow is "too old". Also 1 out of 2 mixers released same day still works with recent serato. The other one has 2 never updated models from range so go and figure it out. They could do a driver for each and every one of these mixers as long as they are usb 2 compatible. But they won't to make you buy new one
