Right, I'll do it quietly this time. Hi, this is... Oh my god, I've got no hair! You will see why I'm doing it really quietly. Watch the end of the video. Right, and then I go, oh my goodness, I've got to put this... That's better. Right, in this... No, you've got to watch the end. Right, a bit of a quick demonstration stroke tutorial, and I've got the world's best drum and bass lady DJ over there, and Mr Blaze himself. Right, demonstration stroke tutorial about mixing drum and bass. But what we're going to do is edit. Now normally when people edit in music, what they do, they bring it in on the one, two, three, four, one, two, three.

Practice and enjoy.
