    Man. This video was so informative and thorough. You spoke clearly & slowly enough for people to grasp. I used a DJ app on my phone just for sh*ts & giggles on my phone so I learned all of this stuff on my own, but hearing everything explained clearly made it that much better. I’m really interested in buying some equipment and starting to practice on my own. This video helped boost my confidence to do so.
