    Love this new technology, I am from the Old school, where I used to carry crates of records to a party. I plan on getting one of these controllers and connect my turntables to them!

    I just got my starter controller and downloaded serato. This video really clarified a lot for me. I'm sure I'll be watching it a few more times. Thank you!

    Hi crossfader, just watched your video on how to start, never owned or touched a computer especially messing around with a sb3 controller, so im way new to this, many of my friends are asking why im doing this and im wasting money and time, i know what people are going to say, if they dont support you, then they are not my friends, true on that, but I liked to just learn regardless, thank you for the tips on how to start, Ill be watching more of your videos

    You're voice is so comforting. Thanks for this video I really needed this kind of help. I have my first show this coming Saturday. I think I can kill the mix with just the info I learned. I'm a studio producer so I'm familiar with music elements like tempo and fading but I'm crossing over from producer to live. Once I got both under my belt ima become a monster. Thank you sir.

    I’d always love to djing just for fun. Used few Walkman aside many years ago connected to solid amplifier & sound systems.
    Vol down & next up ready to go next beat changing the vibe. Improvising myself now I see these modern equipments , tips and tricks on press play and cue !! My god ! I am willing to learn one.

    Hi , I am fairly new to digital dj, and I used to be happy on the decks years ago. I have used vdj happily, which had the decks set up within the programme (meaning I don't need to buy all these wonderful things I can't afford ). Serato seems to need tech connected to the laptop mixers etc. Can I not use searto as VDJ with the laptop as the only mixing deck.?
