While it’s possible to learn some fundamental concepts of DJing without a controller, such as beatmatching and mixing, having a controller is highly recommended. Controllers are the primary tool for DJs to manually mix and control the music. Without a controller, you’ll be limited in your ability to practice and learn various DJing techniques. You can still study theory and watch tutorials, but hands-on experience with a controller is vital to mastering DJ skills.
