If you don't want to get "Booed" out of your DJ booth

For the DJ that wants to be prepared PROPERLY for his next DJ gig.

Being prepared is where the pro separates himself from the amateur.
A pro knows what he is doing.
When you start out you don't have all the knowledge, but that doesn't mean you can't act pro.

Even an amateur can be professional by just beging prepared.
Knowing your equipment is being prepared, so you can quickly react to unforseen circumstances.
Failing equipment, a setting that makes your CDJ go bezerk, a button that is not working...
Just a couple of examples I've dealt with in the past.

This CDJ 2000 course helps you to be prepared.
So you don't have to get "booed" out of your DJ booth because you didn't know...

Get the basics right

In my years on YouTube I've noticed that a lot of YouTube creators skip the basics when it comes to DJing on equipment.

They reside in all the trickery, which is fun ... but in order to do all the trickery you need to know the basics first.
High quality content that is complete and teaches you in an easy-to-understand step-by-step pace the basics of a machine like the club standard Pioneer CDJ 2000 is scarce.

Besides, the information in this course builds up, is uniform and has only one skilled teacher.
Also all information is in one video from A to Z, everything there is to know about the CDJ 2000 is there.

You could read that boring manual or ...

let someone explain it to you step-by-step:
You are completely up-to-date with a 90 minute video!
The user manual is perfect for reference, but this course has a more practical approach.

When you press a button you see directly on the screen of the CDJ what happens and at the same time hear the effect on the audio.
This experience is unique and a manual can't offer that.

Easy navigation

How do you find your way in a 90 minute video?
Simple, I give a table of contents (the same that is on this page).
On the top of the screen is a black bar that shows you exactly where you are in the video.

Unlike the screenshot, the video is in HD, so you can actually read the text :)

See what is going on

This course is filmed with two cameras to give you the best viewing angle possible, no head/arm/hand is in the way.

A lot of shots in this course are Picture-In-Picture (PIP) shots:
One detailed angle to show you the controls on the CDJ 2000, the other angle gives an overhead view of the player.
So you can see exactly what is going on.

About the author

Hi, my name is Dexxter Clark from The Netherlands.

With my charming Dutch accent I have been DJing since I was in middle school.
My first gig was at the party of my brothers birthday.
Thoughout highschool (and later when I was working) I DJ-ed several dance events.

It was in 2016 however that I discovered the real digital DJing during my holiday in Ibiza.
I was visiting one of the biggest clubs in Ibiza and that DJ was doing mighty interesting things...

I was hooked, again.
After having played with the Pioneer DDJ-SB and DDJ-RB I bought my first professional DJ player: the CDJ 2000 NXS 2 player in 2016.

When I started my DJ Youtube channel in 2017, I noticed that there were little to no tutorials about the new version of this machine.
After reading the manual and figuring stuff out myself, I made several tutorials for my YouTube channel about the CDJ 2000 NXS 2.

After many compliments about the well explained DJ tutorials, I decided to put all my knowledge about CDJ 2000 in one place, this course.

FAQ

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

No, absolutely not.
But it can be useful to practice your skills on a CDJ.

Can I follow along with other DJ controllers/standalone players?

Yes and no.
Although most Pioneer equipment has silimar features (yes) and operate the same way, there are differences that are not part of this course (no).

It is useful however to practice your skills, even if it is on simpler equipment than the CDJ 2000.
It is useful to know what the differences are between your player/DJ controller and the club standard player CDJ 2000.

Does this course teach you DJ skills?

No.
This course only explains the CDJ 2000 in great detail.
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
