What does A#m / Am / A# mean ?? (just started learning djing)

Hey so i just started leaning about harmonic mixing and stuff , gotta say sounds interesting, so i did my research found mixed in key and rapid evolution, i opted for rapid and facing some problems , iknow it sounds so noobish and stupid but what the hell is A#m Am A# ?

im sure its major and minor things but i swear i just started educating myself would be great if someone helped and much much more great if someone can link me or guide me to a website or something where i can serve my self without asking anymore stupid questions

cheers

a sharp minor, a minor and a sharp, mixed in key uses a camelot system which is alot simpler imo, but heres ean goldens post on it Key Analysis Software Smackdown - DJ TechTools which has a camelot wheel in it, but i spose you would’ve already seen that if you’ve done a search

yeah, # is the symbol for sharp and b (not a b but it looks very similar) is the symbol for flat.
camelot is easier, however. you should learn about key structures. it really is an important thing to understand with all music.

work your way through those lessons. they dont take long and are easy to understand. i use to use them during my music theory courses in high school.
