From beginner to confident DJ, on your exact setup

50k+ happy students

Filmed on your exact setup

Be honest…

Sound familiar?

You can already picture it: mixing your favourite tracks, the room moving with you. Then you sit down at the gear and the internet makes it ten times harder than it should be.

100 tabs of YouTube, still stuck

Every video uses different gear in a different order. Hours in, you still can't pull off a clean mix.

Their buttons aren't your buttons

The tutorial's controller looks nothing like yours, so you're constantly guessing what maps to what.

Scared it'll gather dust

That new-gear excitement is fading, and you're worried it becomes another thing you bought and gave up on.

It's not you. You just need the right course for your gear. That's exactly what Crossfader is →

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask.

I don't have any gear yet, where do I start?
Start with our free course on how to DJ with a laptop or phone. You can learn the core skills with no controller at all, then pick the right gear when you are ready.
Is my exact controller covered?
For our best-selling controllers like the DDJ-FLX4 and DDJ-FLX2 we have a dedicated course filmed on that exact unit. For any other controller, our software courses (rekordbox, Serato DJ, djay Pro) cover it, because they teach the software your controller runs.
I have a controller that is not in your list, what should I pick?
Pick the course for the software you run it with. One Serato course covers the hundreds of Serato controllers across every brand, and the same goes for rekordbox and djay Pro.
I'm a complete beginner, is this right for me?
Absolutely. Every beginner course assumes zero experience. It starts at setup and walks you step by step to your first full mix.
Do I need any musical talent or experience?
None at all. You don't need a music background or natural rhythm. We teach the timing and technique from scratch, step by step, and modern gear does a lot of the heavy lifting while you learn the skills that matter.
How long until I can actually DJ?
Most people pull off their first proper mix within days, and are confidently mixing full sets within 30 days. You learn at your own pace with lifetime access, so there's no pressure to rush.
Do I need a laptop, or can I use my phone or tablet?
It depends on your setup. Many courses are taught across laptop and mobile, so you can follow along on whatever you have. The free course is built specifically for laptop and phone.
How long do I get access? Is it a subscription?
One-time payment, lifetime access, no subscription. Learn at your own pace and revisit any lesson whenever you like.
What if it is not for me?
We back every course with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not mixing your favourite music with confidence within 30 days, we'll give you your money back.
What if I change gear later?
The core skills carry across any controller, CDJs or club setup. And if you want everything in one place, the Complete DJ Package gives you access to every course.
