As we proceed to spotlight such artists, events, and festivals, we wonder if our readers ever wanted to try their hand at becoming a DJ? Master the art of transitions on a virtual turntable? Take your DJ skills to the next step, or just give it a try? Here are 5 tools and programs that are currently accessible to help you learn the art of DJing from home! ## **Crossfader** [You NEED to know this CDJ hack!](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_zMHfPB06xc?feature=oembed) Crossfader was founded in 2014 by DJ Jamie Hartley and entrepreneur Katie Riddoch. Headquartered in a studio in Leeds, UK, Jamie would initially provide DJing lessons. The lessons and further developed courses were eventually adapted into a variety of online DJ courses, allowing people to learn to DJ from their homes. Budding DJs can master the art of DJing on Crossfader. You can choose from a selection of courses (beginner to advanced) and follow the step-by-step guidelines. Students can emulate these guidelines by watching tutorial videos, reaching out to resident DJ mentors, and connecting with others who are part of the program. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgABq89r-p1/ According to the Crossfaders website, their classes have trained 10,000 students from over 120 nations worldwide. In a 2021 interview with the content strategist of Dropbox, Hartley [shared](https://blog.dropbox.com/topics/our-community/crossfader-denon-dj-integration), “Other than the guy my dad hooked me up with for a few lessons, I didn’t have any other mentors. It was years of trial and error and figuring things out the hard way. This was a huge part of how Crossfader was born.” [**Click here**](https://wearecrossfader.co.uk/) ** to visit Crossfader’s official website to know more ** **Download Crossfader on the Apple Store** [**HERE**](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crossfader-learn-dj-skills/id1578307176) ## **Until AM** *Image Via Chrome web store* Until AM is a free online DJ tool that lets users mix and master music.
