WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Understand beats, BPM, bars, phrases, groove and basic musical structure.
Build confidence with cueing, headphone monitoring, tempo control, manual beatmatching and Sync.
Perform clean transitions using levels, EQ, filters, faders and musical phrasing.
Use performance tools musically rather than mechanically, with purposeful creative decisions.
Organise music, prepare crates and playlists, sequence tracks and adapt selections to context and audience.
Create a simple edit or remix using a DAW such as Ableton Live or Logic Pro and incorporate it into a live mix.
