The beginner Rekordbox course was SO helpful. I didn’t even know where to start, and the course gave me some great skills to practice and emphasised learning the how and why vs just letting the software take control. That’s how I wanted to learn!

Overview

About this course

Rekordbox DJ is one of the most powerful pieces of DJ software available. However, this brings with it some challenges! Knowing where to get started and learning this software can be a confusing process. Our online DJ courses for Rekordbox DJ controllers such as the Pioneer DDJ 400, DDJ 800 and DDJ 1000 will help you go from a beginner to advanced DJ! Learn everything from fundamental mixing techniques, EQ control and transitions to advanced sampling, sequencing and mash-up mixing. We pride ourselves on not just showing you what a button does, but how to use it creatively. The lessons all work in chronological order so that as you master one skill, you’ll be able to combine it with others, instantly improving your creativity. Each DJ tutorial within the course features screen grabs and overhead shots of the equipment, making it easy for you to follow along step by step.

Before you start

What you need

Please note: To make the most of this course, you will need either the Pioneer DDJ RB, DDJ RR, DDJ RX, DDJ RZ, DDJ 200, DDJ 400, DDJ 800, DDJ 1000 or any other Rekordbox ready controller (not sold with the course) and the Rekordbox DJ Software using performance mode. We would also recommend a pair of headphones and some speakers to make the most of your training. The course features the Pioneer DDJ RB, Pioneer DDJ 400 & DDJ 200 in its video lessons. However, all the skills can be applied to any DJ controller using Rekordbox! All screengrabs on this course will be shown on a mac operating system but are all applicable to windows also. Some lessons in this course have screen grabs from Rekordbox 4.0; however, all the theory and technical skills still apply.

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.
