FAQs
Do I need DJ equipment to take this course?
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. Anything in the course that is exclusive to a specific DJ setup is highlighted in the course and is a bonus lesson.
If you have any questions throughout the course, each lesson has a dedicated comments section where you can ask the tutor any questions.
English is not my first language. Do you have subtitles?
Yes! Subtitles are available in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese (traditional), English; French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese.
Do you have the Techno that I like?
We totally understand that Techno music is different for every DJ. That’s why we have created 5 unique playlists in Beatport and have given mix examples throughout the course to ensure you mix the music you love!
Am I too old to start learning something new, like DJing?
I don't know where to start and have no music to learn how to DJ?
No worries! We provide you with everything you need to get started. With our exclusive Crossfader Music Pack and Training Tools and a three-month free trial to popular music streaming services like Beatport or Beatsource, you’ll have access to a vast library of music for your DJing journey. We guide you through signing up and importing music, so you can start mixing immediately and learn the art of DJing quickly.
I'm afraid I'll be judged or criticised for my skills if I try to DJ in public.
I don't have time to dedicate to learning how to DJ.
