Reviews: “The guy on this DVD is a professor at the Berkeley school of music. It shows. He is excellent at explaining things. He breaks them down in to small steps and makes them very easy to understand. You can tell he has been teaching for a long time. In the section on creative mixing, he shows many ways to combine two records. He even takes the snare from one record, or just a horn section, and flies them in over the other record. This got me thinking in totally new ways about my mixes. There is a lot about setting up that you can get from the owners manuals, but the scratching stuff is also very clear and well done.” – Mobile Mark “Great for beginners Watch first before buying your equipments. This is a really great dvd for those who are just starting off, gives you information to get yourself going. Teaches you what equipemtn to buy, and what additional gear you need. Good item, but not for advance users.” – John H. Fung “Sritchy scratch scratch”Pace!
