The aim of this tutorial is to give you a basic understanding of how to use Winzip, first you need to download Winzip from www.winzip.com (if you haven`t already) then we will have to install it on your system.

Step 1 - Installing Winzip

The first thing you need to do is click on the winzip icon, when you click on the icon winzip set-up will open, all you need to do at this stage is click on the set-up button, once you have this you will be asked which folder you would like to put Winzip in, C:\Program Files\WinZip is where you want to put winzip so press OK, next you will see a wizard with buttons of the bottom, help back, next and close, click on next and then the licence agreement will appear click yes to agree with licence agreement, Then you will be asked if you want to start using Winzip Classic or if you want to start using the Winzip wizard, we want to use use the wizard so click on the next button, when you`ve done this you will be asked if you want to search your harddrive for Zip files, you can do a quick search or search the entire harddisk, both only take a few moments once you`ve clicked next, Winzip will thank you for installing and then the Winzip wizard should open. (If you finished installing and the wizard has opened in classic mode, just go to file in the top left , click on it and in the drop down you will see Wizard, just click on it and you will be in Wizard mode.)

Step 2 - Using the Wizard to unzip wav files

If you haven`t already got a zip file, download one from looperman and put it on your desktop, click on the zipfile on your desktop and Winzip will open, click on the button that says "I Agree" Now you are in Wizard, at the top is will say "Welcome to Winzip Wizard" at the bottom of the wizard click next, the Wizard will then ask you want you want to do, you will be given 3 options, about half way down the wizard you will see:

1 - Unzip or install from an existing zip file from Bass.zip

2 - Update "Bass.zip"

3 - Create a new zip file

Example - Bass.zip

To unzip wav files we will select the first option and then click next, the wizard will now give you the option of where to put your wav files, you need to put it somewhere where you will know you can find it, click on the button that say`s "select different folder" when you click on this you will see a select folder box, in the second part of the box, it`s called folders and disk drives click on desktop and click on new just to the right, this will create a new folder, when the box appears to create new folder you can rename it, call it looperman or acidloops, it should look like this : C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\acidloops then press ok and at the bottom of the Wizard you will see a button that says "Unzip Now" click on it and the zip will open and the wav file will be in the folder you created on your desktop called C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\acidloops .
