What students say about this course

James, UK

Crossfader has helped me be a much more confident DJ. It has allowed me, from the comfort of my bedroom, develop the skills needed to DJ for fun. It's also helped me around with music which is a passion of mine.

Nate, USA

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Cannot recommend Crossfader enough if you want to learn the fundamentals of DJing.  Jamie lays out an easy to follow plan that had me comfortably mixing songs in just a few short weeks.

Jesse, USA

After a ten year break from DJing, I picked up again with a small controller and the Rekordbox software and although the basics haven’t changed the way to interact with your music through software has. There is so much available and can be a bit overwhelming. The Rekordbox courses are clear with good examples and great structure which helped me find my way around.

Overview

About this course

Take your DJ skills to the next level with our Drum & Bass Pro DJ Course. This course is designed for those who are ready to dive deeper into the art of DJing, with a focus on mixing in key, hot cues, advanced looping, and professional effects. Begin with the fundamentals of beatgrid correction, mixing in key, and key syncing, ensuring your mixes are harmonically perfect. Learn the importance of preparation, setting hot cues, and using loops effectively to create dynamic and engaging sets.

Progress through advanced mixing techniques such as blending with EQs and filters, layering, drop swap mixing, cutting, and executing double drops. Master the use of various effects including echo, reverb, spiral, trans, and the roll/slip roll effect. Enhance your skills further with three and four deck mixing, and explore performance breakdowns of iconic Drum & Bass sets. Finally, prepare yourself for any set by understanding sub-genres, energy levels, structuring playlists, digging for new tracks, and using Beatport to keep your sets fresh. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to deliver professional-grade Drum & Bass performances that captivate any audience.

Before you start

What you need

To take this course, you will need some DJ equipment, headphones, speakers and time to practice.

We have designed the course, so it doesn't matter what equipment you use. We have you covered, whether it's a Rekordbox controller, Denon DJ standalone player, Traktor setup, or anything in between. The course is mainly filmed using Pioneer DJ equipment as we intend for you to take your skills to a club or festival DJ booth; therefore, we want you to be confident using the Pioneer DJ layout.

If you have any questions throughout the course, each lesson has a dedicated comments section where you can ask the tutor any questions.

Jamie Hartley

Our instructor, Jamie Hartley, a seasoned DJ with over a decade of experience, began his career as a full-time DJ at the age of 16. Since 2014, he has grown Crossfader from a small UK-based DJ school where he personally taught aspiring DJs, to the renowned global online DJ school and community it is today. Through years of one-on-one instruction in a studio, Jamie has developed a foolproof and systematic approach to teaching DJ skills and techniques. Unlike other DJ schools, Jamie focuses on teaching the creative skills that make you stand out.
