JCapper Instructional Audio Series
These JCapper Podcasts were recorded to give you additional insight into the program that just isn't available through reading the Help Docs alone. Listening to the Instructional Audio Series in addition to reading the Help Docs and working with the Program is probably the best way to go from complete newbie to knowing how to walk, then knowing how to run, and ultimately being able to fly in the shortest amount of time possible. The files themselves were recorded by Jeff Platt in his San Diego sound studio (yeah right) starting in April, 2007. Seriously though, there is good information to be found in these podcasts. Whether you are a new user taking the Demo for the first time, or an experienced JCapper user who has been there since the beginning, it is my sincerest hope that listening to me talk about using the program gives you new insight that elevates your game in some way. The files themselves are .MP3 audio files and can be listened to using Windows Media Player or Real Player, depending on the user settings and preferences of your own machine. Enjoy.

Note: If the sound sounds choppy or your media player has trouble rendering the .mp3 file it is probably my server not delivering content to your local machine fast enough. Turn your speaker or headphone volume way down (or off completely) and simply let your media player take a few minutes to load the entire file. Then turn the volume back up and move the Seek Slider Control to the very beginning of the track and let your media player replay the track in its entirety. You can also download the .mp3 file to your local machine by right clicking on the "TO LISTEN CLICK HERE" link and selecting Save Target As.
