What students say about this course
Mitch, Australia
Highly recommend any new or experienced DJs to do the online courses, teaches you step by step how to use software and controllers in a simple to follow series of videos. It has definitely helped my DJ skills and I’m sure it will do the same for you!
Michael, USA
The practices and exercises make the process of learning easy. The guidelines are easy to follow, and the explanations are super helpful and easy to understand. I feel confident taking this course that I think I will come out being successful in DJing.
LeMaro, USA
Crossfader is THE BEST!!! I’m new to DJing, and I had a hard time hearing the beat to mix. I signed up for the course, and Jamie explained everything so easy for me. He takes the time and shows you how to do every step. I can even beat match by ear now. I’m more confident mixing now and learning my controller as I go. I will be purchasing the next course soon.

What you need
Please note:
To make the most of this course, you will need either the Denon DJ Prime 2, Prime 4, Prime GO, SC Live 4 or a combination of SC5000s/6000s and a mixer.
This course is also applicable if you own a Numark Mixstream Pro as it runs the same Engine software as the Denon DJ players.
We would also recommend a pair of headphones and some speakers to make the most of your training. The course features the Denon DJ Prime 4 and Prime GO in its video lessons. However, all the skills can be applied to any Denon DJ Prime player! All screengrabs on this course will be shown on a mac operating system but are all applicable to windows also.

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.
