Everyone says I make great Spotify playlists. Kind of motivated me to want to learn to dj because only thing I could do is cross fade on Spotify

[anthonyfonseca]

Dude, I had no idea how lost I would’ve been without this video til I downloaded rekordbox. I’m starting with zero DJ experience and just bought my first controller, the DDJ FLX4 and was ready to get started learning. You basically held my hand though this whole process and I couldn’t thank you enough!

[JesseMcCullough]

I love EDM and I love finding mixes I can just leave on in the background while I'm doing my daily tasks. At some point, I got curious about the art of mixing and making my own mixes. This led me to looking online at the gear and software and eventually I found Crossfader and have loved how you guys breakdown the gear and teach the craft. Knowing me, I've not wanted to buy equipment I might use once and then have sit in a corner collecting dust for ages because my ADHD just can't stand not getting instant gratification. This video is perfect for getting me started with what I already have, namely the PC on my desk.

[darkstepwarrior]

perfect balance of information for beginners and also some in depth stuff

[king_Asibey]

I’ve been interested in DJ for a while and finally got on YouTube to find an app to download and to learn and I found more than what I was looking for

[alexiag]

You explain so well! I've watched many beginners videos where I had to repeat to understand. But you, you are so clear I understood in one go clear thank you

[FoxTheBandit]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!!

[shroud]

man crossfader is such a great channel you guys are amazing keep up the great work

[blackmanful]

Greetings Jeremy. My inspiration came from watching you mix seamlessly, and how easy it is to follow along to any of your tutorials and reviews, just amazing.

[Ayaanmasked]

One of the best class I can say I was totally confused on seeing all channels and I was just thinking only wit controller we can start djing this gentleman showed each break down of before buying a controller wat we can do really hats off man.... I was for some cash to come to start but before tat we can do u said amazing man

[simranmadan]

What a great video to get started without equipment!

[Boccione]

This was a great video to watch for a beginner!

[travelwithafiya]

amazing video! super duper informative!

[bolormaaganbold]

wow, watched a few different videos to learn to start DJing. This one was the best one. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I bought DJ equipment to learn to DJ and just learned I didn't need that first. Anyways, I have it, so i need to learn to make use of it.

[apy]

always loved playing music to my friends.

[olikirke]

Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. I've been interested in DJing since watching DJ Carlo Atendido play a mix back in 2020. I've had some struggles in the past but I know this video will help me push through.

[hartleypike]

Great video! Do you have any info on connecting headphones to listen to the queued track when using laptop only?

[CosticaKristianDiVogli]

You can mix with just an iPad, was doing that a decade ago with iPad4; besides, you can use EQing for a proper mix and even FXes. I did also mixed once with a laptop about 8 years ago and did the EQing as well (at list on the bass level)

[deiwar]

I was just curious what has happened with Laptop DJing these days! I used a Laptop way way back with VDJ.

[siemprehayflores]
