"So theoretically, we've mixed from this record to this record. So the audience is now hearing the second record here. We're going to go to a third record. I'm going to show you this all over again just to give you a sense. It's important to hear on more than just one record. So pull out my new record, which is also close enough in speed, this will work out. I've done this one in the past. I know that this is forty-five, it's really important to check because you're going to get mixed up. If you put it on and you hear, that's not right. That's right. Alright, so, I'm going to fill back on this guy, and we're just going to give it our first shot. See if it's right at zero. Find our beat, we got the speed going, getting ready for the time to drop it, coming up, and we know that's wrong. So, that's wrong, we're going to give it another shot."
