"BRIAN MONTGOMERY: All right. So we'll rewind the machine here and get ready to playback this vocal track. So we got to move track three to the safe position and we'll up it up to the tape position there. We can bring this guy, track one, down so we can isolate the vocal track. We can go ahead and unplug our, our headphones. We're going to plug the external monitors back in so you can actually hear it as opposed to just the classic, fantastic vocals that I'm singing just a minute ago there. And the monitor is on, levels up there a little bit, and we're ready to listen to the three parts together."
