<p>Hello <%= EmailBatchProgression::VAR_FIRST_NAME %> --
</p>
<p> We're delighted that you have decided to try the JamKazam service,
and we hope that you will enjoy using JamKazam to play music with others.
Following are links to some resources that can help to get you up and running quickly.
and we hope that you will enjoy using JamKazam to play
music with others.
Following are some resources that can help you get oriented and get the most out of JamKazam.
</p>
<p>
<p><b style="color: white;">Getting Started</b><br/>
There are basically three kinds of setups you can use to play on JamKazam.<br/>
<ul>
<li><b style="color: white;">Built-In Audio on Your Computer</b> - You can use a Windows or Mac computer, and just use the built-in mic and headphone jack to
handle your audio. This is cheap and easy, but your audio quality will suffer, and it will also process audio very slowly,
creating problems with latency, or lag, in your sessions. Still, you can at least start experimenting with JamKazam in this way.</li>
<li><b style="color: white;">Computer with External Audio Interface</b> - You can use a Windows or Mac computer with an external audio interface that you
already own and use for recording, if you happen to have one already. If you are going to do this, or use the built-in mic/headphones on your computer, please refer
to our <a style="color: #ffcc00;" href="https://jamkazam.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1288274-minimum-system-requirements">Minimum System Requirements</a>
to make sure your computer will work. These requirements were on the download page for the app, but you may have sped by them. Also, we'd recommend watching our
<a style="color: #ffcc00;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBo--aj_P1w">Getting Started Video</a> to learn more about your options here.</li>
<li><b style="color: white;">The JamBlaster</b> - JamKazam has designed a new product from the ground up to be the best way to play music online in real time. It's called the JamBlaster.
It processes audio faster than any of the thousands of combinations of computers and interfaces in use on JamKazam today, which means you can play with musicians
who are farther away from you, and closer sessions will feel/sound tighter. The JamBlaster is both a computer and an audio interface, so it also eliminates the
system requirements worries, and it "just works" so you don't have to be an audio and computer genius to get it working. This is a great product - available only
through a Kickstarter program running during a 30-day window during parts of February and March 2015. You can watch the
<a style="color: #ffcc00;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJAIHMyois">JamBlaster Video</a> to learn more about this amazing new product.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p><b style="color: white;">JamKazam Features</b><br/>

to easily get up to speed on some of the things you can do with JamKazam:<br/>
