Because when I started off, I paid for the tutorials and I got like 100 hours of tutorials, went into detail for every little knob and it really helped a lot. I will admit, I don’t remember 90% of the stuff but I’ll always have those tutorials and at least I have an idea of how shit works. Free tutorials won’t give you that.

EDIT: Didn’t really answer your question though. I don’t know any good courses you can take, not from the UK, but I know for a fact that it will help a lot taking a class that will teach you how to use the software.

Good luck! Hope you find something.

Thanks for the response, no it did actually help quite a bit, because yes, the tutorials were all free ones. I have actually found an online course for a reasonable price of £69

But yeah, I suppose paid online courses might not be so bad, will have to keep looking into it

Thanks Phil
I always planned to go with Traktor Pro 2 which I know the TWITCH also works with, but having said that I have never actually tried Serato ITCH. The main point of concern for me in the jog wheels (or lack of) weather it would be good for a beginner to learn on a touch strip, or practise on jogwheels and move on up from there. In terms of the buttons that the S2 lacks is no problem as I plan to map my Korg Nano Pad and Axiom 25 to the functionality of Traktor that the S2 can’t handle. I guess the only other downside of the S2 is lack of aux ins (except a mic) and loop recorder but I’m wondering if this would be a big deal for a beginner? I hopefully plan on playing in clubs with it eventually.

The only other advantage of the TWITCH i can see apart from its compact size, multiple aux ins and emergency out is that it works with both ITCH, Traktor and also Abelton live which could be a plus

I guess its down to the jogwheels, as all the other things can be worked around, I don’t want to jump in too deep on the touchstrip and find out I should have started on jogwheels, but then again, it might be a lot easier than I’m thinking

Really appreciate you advice Phil
