"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, if you want to click the "effects" tab here underneath your mixer it's going to take you to a screen that looks similar to this. If it doesn't look like this you might have to click the "sound effects" tab over here. What you can do from here, is you can add some cool effects to your song, and you can also do things like back spinning and breaking. I'm going to go ahead and play my song. If I click on "backspin" and click activate on deck one, that's going to activate a backspin. You can change the speed and length over here. If you click on "break" and activate it, that's going to make it sound like you just turned off your turntable and you can change the length of that over here as well. If you click on "flanger" and activate that, it's going to activate a flange on whatever is playing and you can change the effects over here. Give it a different sound. If you click on "flip and double", what that does is it doubles the beats of the song. It gives it kind of a unique sound. If you click on "key changer" you can change the pitch of your song without actually changing the speed, as you can see. Up here on the top, it says effects 1 and 2. You can activate your different effects by clicking these buttons."
