couldn't find any basic tutorials on how to use AV so here we are. (watch this at 2x speed if you dont wanna be bored)

disclaimer: this is by no means a comprehensive tutorial and i did not cover things like display bpm, custom hotkeys, bpm changes, etc. this was meant to be a quick start guide for da homies.
