About this course

This course takes you from setting up your first DJ rig to confidently performing live for a crowd. You will master beatmatching by ear and with the sync button, phrasing in 16 and 32-bar sections, frequency-aware EQ blends, harmonic mixing with the Camelot wheel, and set construction with energy mapping. Whether you run a Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 controller, club-standard CDJ-3000 players, or Technics SL-1200 turntables with Serato, every technique is shown with named gear, real numbers, and a drill you can do today.
