BEATS AND SAMPLES PACK

We have a music pack for you to download inside the course! It’s full of the scratch samples and beats used in the lessons. With this scratching course you can follow along step by step with the each video tutorial.

CROSSFADER SCRATCHING LOOPS

We know just how annoying it is to pause, rewind, play and repeat on tutorial videos. That’s why we’ve developed our own ‘Crossfader Scratching Loops’ for you to download. After watching and learning a scratch combo within a lesson just load up the CROSSFADER SCRATCHING LOOP that corresponds to that lesson! You can then practice in real time on your DJ hardware/software.

As a Crossfader student you’ll also have access to this courses forum where you can meet and chat with other students and the tutor himself.

The course has been developed so nearly any DJ with any setup can learn how to master scratching! The course is filmed using a Pioneer DDJ RB controller and the Rekordbox software, but we will show you how to set up your equipment specifically for scratching so you can follow along step by step.

This course is suitable if you’re using a controller with Pioneer’s Rekordbox, Serato DJ Lite/Pro, Virtual DJ, Traktor or Alogoriddim’s DJAY Pro. Also if you own a Pioneer XDJ RX or XDJ RX2 all in one unit, or the Denon Prime series.

Our dedicated DJ tutor Jamie Hartley started working in the industry as a full time DJ over a decade ago at the age of 16. Since 2014 he’s worked to build Crossfader from a small UK based DJ school where he taught aspiring DJs in his studio, into what you see today, a global online DJ school and community.

From working one to one for years in a studio Jamie has developed foolproof and systematic ways of breaking down DJ skills and techniques so you can master them! A lot of other DJ schools will show you how things work rather than teach you the creative skills needed to help you stand out from the crowd.
