"BRIAN MONTGOMERY: So, we're just about ready to cut the track. What I had to do is just rewound it back to the beginning. It took this--the zero return off, so I'm going to put the five seconds of lead tape back on there just so we make sure to get everything that we're playing onto the tape so we run off the counter to five, stop, push this button here and it puts it back at zero. I'm going to switch the zero return back to the on position and we're good to go there. Generally, I'll just pause, hit the record-play, go together, we're just gotta hit the record button and when you're ready to go, we'll just hit the pause button and it will be rolling."
