"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, if you want to click on the "remix" tab on your mixer between the two tables, if your not already there. It's going to take you to a mixer that looks like this. You've got a couple things you can do here; at the top you've got some FX and samples. We'll get into those in the next couple of lessons. But from here, you can create loops in your record. If you want to drag a song to your table, you can go ahead and hit "play". If you click on a number, it's going to just automatically loop. The numbers correspond to how many beats it's going to loop. So, if you click on "16" it's going to loop every sixteen beats. It goes all the way down to "1/4" which makes a really quick loop, of every quarter beat. You can also; (using the knobs down here) you can manually adjust the loops, the beginning and the end. Below that you have a "skip" button, which you can use to skip forward and backwards at different rates. So you can manually do your own loops. Also, if you hit the numbers on your keyboard (as you can see) that's going to also change your loops."
