DD 101 will focus on teaching the basics of Rane’s Serato software and is perfect for individuals who want to learn Serato basics or are looking to explore the options and advantages in digital DJ’ing. Each student will have his/her own workstation equipped with turntables, a mixer, and computer with the Serato software. The course is a combination of lecture and lab, however, students will spend most of their time receiving hands-on training at their workstations.
