"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, if you want to come down and click on the "sample" tab at the bottom of your mixer. It's going to take you to a screen that looks like this. Here you can load and create samples that you can use and mix in while your songs are playing. Go down and click on the dot here, you can see you got 12 different places where you can put samples in, and there's a dot beside each of them. If you click there and click load, here you can load your waves or your mp3's. If you click "play" , you can see it loaded bell sound. You can loop these if you click on the dot again and click "loop", and you play it, it's just going to loop it. Also, we learned about how to create loops in our songs. I just created a loop there, if you click the "loop" button, that's going to put the loop that you created into the sample slot there. Also, if you want to fine tune that, you can click the jingle button and that's going to start a loop wherever you are at in your song. Go forward, click jingle again. That's going to create a sample that way. These sliders obviously control the volume of your sample. I'm going to go ahead and load up. You can play these while your song is going on. Now, you can also (these slots up here under sample) those correspond to your loops down here."
