I have been using a software program for a while now, will the workshop be useless for me?
Absolutely not! There’s probably a lot that you have been able to figure out on your own, however, there also is a lot of information that cannot be found in the manual. You may also already have a list of specific questions, which would be great to bring into this workshop! We also have a DD2 workshop which covers more advanced features and troubleshooting techniques which may be a better fit for you. Call us at ___________ and we can help you figure out the right workshop for you!
Do I need to buy a new laptop?
Most likely you will not HAVE to buy a new laptop. Some students/djs prefer to have a dedicated laptop for djing, but it is certainly not required. More details on how to set up your laptop for best performance will also be covered in this workshop.
Where can I buy a system?
At the end of the DD workshop, students will receive a discount code to be used and redeemed at one of our partner retailers (Best Buy, Guitar Center, Turntable Lab, DJCity.com).
