"BRIAN MONTGOMERY: Yeah another thing, also keep in mind I did pretty basic as far as just plugging the bass directly and clean vocals and just a clean acoustic guitar. If you're using electric guitars or keyboards you can always run those through effects pedals whether it would be distortion, delays, phasers, all that kind of good stuff. You can even run the vocals through those as well and kind of experiment and come out with some cool trippy sounds. Again, it's all whatever you like and taste but you'll never know. A lot of times you can come up with some really cool stuff where just sounds are really neat that you didn't think you might be able to do. So it's worth if you can get a hold of it, borrow from friends and whatnot. I definitely recommend playing around with it and playing with the machine."
