FAQ
Do you need to have access to a CDJ 2000 to follow this course?

equipment than the CDJ 2000.

No.

You could compare this course to reading the manual: it tells you not how
to DJ, only how to use the machine.
I don't know how to DJ, is that a problem?
You won't get much out of the course when you don't have basic DJ skills.
The course assumes beginner level DJ skills like beat matching.
Why a course when it’s free on YouTube?
Is it?
YouTube is a great resource for tips or expansion of existing knowledge.
But YouTube creators never paint the full picture, it’s just a snapshot of information out of context of your learning curve.
YouTube creators never paint the full picture because unexperienced DJ's only search for familiar/well known topics.
YouTube creators supply videos for a demand (search queries and suggested-video clicks).
If they don’t, their videos are unable to rank (nobody searches the topics), which hurts their overall promotion on YouTube (even for the topics they are able to rank for).
Since YouTube is a business, simply every YouTube creator “follows the money”.
The advantages of a course:
- uniformity
- one experienced teacher
- one resource: everything is in one place for convenience
- time saver: you don’t have to go and hunt for information (which is time consuming)
- step-by-step approach, information builds up gradually. I start at the beginning end at the end
