These courses are designed to help you get the most out of your DJ equipment. With the help of CrossFader’s courses, me and many of my pals have learnt some amazing tricks when using Serato DJ, Rekordbox DJ, Traktor DJ, Denon DJ, and Pioneer XDJ. Crossfader offers courses on each piece of DJ software along with specific brands of DJ controllers. A course helps you push the envelope, pushing you to experiment with new techniques and become a better DJ.īefore delving deep into the course I took, let’s talk about what courses they offer. Helps eliminate plateaus and keeps you progressing – It’s so easy to master the basic skills as a DJ and then never get any better.Taught by an experienced instructor – Youtube videos are great (and there is a lot of great information available for free) but the best instructors often compile their best stuff together into a course.Each skill builds upon the last and there is a clear path to progression. Well structured information – In a course, everything is laid out in an easy to follow fashion.Now, I think DJ courses have a couple of advantages. I saw them save so much time by taking a well structured course instead of simply browsing the Youtube recommended videos. I struggled for months to a year at a time to master a new skill or technique while I watched some of my friends blow straight past me as a DJ. R/Beatmatch and R/DJ are great communities to learn and get feedback from.Īs I’ve grown as a DJ though, I’ve started rethinking my stance on courses. Sound familiar? And to an extent it is true – you can find a LOT of really helpful information on Youtube and Reddit. “I can find all of the information on Youtube or Reddit” I thought. Do you even need a DJ course? I know when I first started, I shunned courses. First, let’s tackle the elephant in the room.
