Learn to DJ on your own decks

Plug in your controller. That's the setup. Short, structured lessons in your browser take you from your first blend to a full set, on the gear you already own.

Plug in. Learn. Repeat.

  1. 01

    Plug in your controller

    Connect over USB and open No Sync Club in Chrome. Press any pad and you're in. There's no DJ software to install.

  2. 02

    Pick a lesson

    One skill per lesson, a few minutes each, with a clear goal: hold the blend for 8 bars, or land the drop on the one.

  3. 03

    Hear how you did

    We read what your hands do on the decks and tell you, bar by bar, if you're early, late or locked in. Then you go again.

First blend to full set

Four stages, in the order DJs actually learn them. Skip ahead if you've got the basics.

Both are tools

The name's a nod, not a rule. We teach you to beatmatch by ear so you know what the sync button is doing, then you use it whenever it helps. Your set, your call.

By ear
  • Spot two kicks pulling apart before you see it on screen.
  • Ride the pitch fader and jog wheel with confidence.
  • Mix on any gear in any booth.
With sync
  • Lock tempo in one press and put your focus on EQ and phrasing.
  • Know what sync can and can't fix, like a badly set beatgrid.
  • Switch between the two mid-mix without a wobble.

What's in a lesson

Real decks in a tab

Your browser reads every jog wheel, fader and pad as you move it. What you practise here is what you'll play out.

Know when you drift

You get a readout on every bar: on beat, or exactly how far off.

Bring your own music

Practise on the tracks you actually play. Load them from your computer and they never leave it. A starter crate of practice tracks is on its way.

Watch it tighten

Scores, streaks and personal bests on one page, so you can see your blends getting cleaner week by week.

Before you plug in

Which controllers work?

The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4, set up out of the box: plug it in over USB and go. More controllers are coming. Tell us which one you've got at hello@nosyncclub.com.

Which browsers?

Chrome or Edge on a laptop or desktop. Safari can't talk to MIDI controllers yet, so it can't see your decks.

Do I need DJ software or tracks?

No DJ software: everything runs in the tab. For music, use your own tracks (MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV or AIFF). A starter crate of practice tracks is on its way.

Is it fine to use sync?

Yes. Sync is a tool, same as your ears. We teach both, so whichever you reach for, you know what it's doing.

I've never touched a controller

Perfect. The controller tour shows you what every knob does, then Stage 01 builds from there. Nobody here expects you to know the lingo.

Plug in. Press play.

No account, no download. Open the first lesson, plug in your controller and go. Save your progress when you're ready.
