The TTM 52 and TTM 54 were the first DJ mixers to use VCA faders, continuous crossfader contour controls (including reverse contour controls), assignable effects loops, and more. These are the staples of what makes Rane mixers the choice among today's top battle DJs. What's more, the relationship that began with DJ Big Wiz and SugarCut, Marz1, and Peter Parker has turned into a lifelong commitment to the DJ community, which lets Rane continuously tweak and improve their products to meet the ever-changing demands of today's top DJs.
In 2001, Rane accomplished something truly magnificent: they created the world's first magnetic fader. There are a number of distinct advantages to this fader design. For starters, magnetic faders are vastly more durable than standard mechanical faders. But even better than that, magnetic faders feel fantastic. They move with virtually no resistance for fast and accurate performance, both as crossfaders and as channel faders. While they're user replaceable, these magnetic faders will probably outlast the rest of the mixer. If you want to experience this amazing fader technology for yourself, all you need is a Rane DJ mixer. If you're into turntablism, then you'll never go back to standard DJ gear.
Since Serato DJ DVS (previously Serato Scratch Live) began to dominate the digital DJ market, Rane has been there, bringing the full tactile experience to this powerful software platform. By combining the precision engineering of Rane's hardware with Serato's NoiseMap records, you get a degree of control over your music that's vastly tighter than anything you'd get from MIDI. When you make a Rane mixer the head of your Serato DJ + Serato DVS rig, you'll know exactly why many of the best turntablists in the world swear by this combination.
