Hi there. I just bought the z1 mk2. I have no idea how to use it, and no idea how to dJ. Does Traktor have any 'courses' that teach how to dj?
Here are some manuals:

thank you! question — i bought the digital dj tips dj course a while back but ended up returning it because i couldn't afford a controller and because they were way too big to travel with. I just got the z1 mk2. Does the dj course teach how to dj on such a portable/small controller? I'm wondering if the course teachings apply to something so small…
I've never taken one, so hard to know. But the knowledge and skills don't depend on the size of your gear.
I recommend you take the time to read about how to install and set up your software and gear first. Next try your first steps, just playing a track.
After that you will start to recognize what you need to learn next.
Note: Z1MK2 is two things: audio interface + mixer. What you don't get is deck controls. For that you may need something like a X1MK3 or a D2 or two. ————— You can also get any small and versatile MIDI controller like the Xone:K2, buuuut it would require additional mapping skills (or mapping skill acquisition).
