Be honest…

Sound familiar?

You couldn't wait to start when the FLX4 arrived. Then reality hit.

100 tabs of YouTube, still stuck

Every video teaches something different, in a different order. You've watched hours and still can't pull off a clean mix.

So many buttons, no idea where to start

Jogs, pads, FX, filters… which one first? With no roadmap, it's easier to just close the laptop.

It's starting to gather dust

That excitement is fading. Deep down you're worried the FLX4 becomes another thing you bought and gave up on.

It's not you. You were never given a path. That's exactly what Crossfader is →

There's a better way

Your path from unboxing to mixing a real set

No more guessing what to learn next. One clear route, built for the DDJ-FLX4. Follow it step by step.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you wanted to ask.

Are the courses filmed on the DDJ-FLX4?
Yes. Every lesson is filmed on the DDJ-FLX4, so what you see on screen matches the controller in your hands. You follow along button-for-button on your own FLX4.
Does it work with rekordbox or Serato?
Both. Your FLX4 comes with free licences for rekordbox and Serato, and we teach the course on both, so you can follow along in whichever software you prefer.
Do I need a laptop, or can I use my phone or tablet?
We teach everything using the laptop connection (Windows or Mac), so that’s the easiest way to follow along. The FLX4 also works with iPhone, iPad and Android, and the skills you learn transfer directly to those setups.
I’m a complete beginner. Is this right for me?
Absolutely. The Beginner course assumes zero experience. It starts at unboxing and setup, then takes you step by step to your first full mix. No music theory or prior gear knowledge needed.
How long do I get access? Is it a subscription?
It’s a one-time payment with lifetime access, no subscription. Learn at your own pace and revisit any lesson whenever you like.
Do I need to buy music to learn?
No. We provide the music and DJ tools used in the course, plus free trials to streaming services like Beatport and TIDAL, so you’ve got tracks to practise with from day one.
What if it’s 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.
Will the skills work on other gear later?
Yes. You’re learning core DJ skills like beatmatching, phrasing, EQ and FX, not just which FLX4 button to press. They carry straight over to any controller, CDJs or club setup you move to next.
