In passing on my experience, I have started to produce a series of video tutorials, named - The definitive video jockeys guide, which shall take you on an incredible journey.
The first video tour is available free to anyone. To recieve the link, simply send a quick email, or even a blank one to - digitalblue2u@gmail.com - I promise to answer every request personaly.
Cheers,
Peter Roberts.
