"BRIAN MONTGOMERY: Okay, so one of the other things to kinda keep in mind, what we did here is we just did, we recorded on a track-by-track basis, you can always record multiple tracks at a time so you could set it up to where you have one and two go and one being a vocal, one of them being a guitar. One thing you might run into if you're tryin' to lay down say two or three tracks with two or three people, as far as monitoring, you're not going to want to use the speakers for that. It's really just kinda good for playback where everybody can hear, you're going to want to use the headphones so you probably have to get a hold of some kind of a like a headphone; I know they make them out there to where it's kind of a splitter where you can actually basically have like four people running off of one module and that module ties back into the system. We have a little thing kinda looks kinda like the EQ kind of thing; it's just little knobs with levels and that kind of stuff so if you go out any kind of guitar store or music rental gear house near you, you can always talk to them and definitely will be able to help you out."
