Dell Laptop running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro, Intel i7 processor 2.4 Ghz, 8 GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive.

DAW: Presonus Studio One 2.5 Professional

Plugins: Ampire XT, Presonus plugins, Softube Saturation Knob, brainworx bx-solo

With the Bass Amp channel, I just put some Parametric EQ and Compressor on it to help mix it with the Bass DI. Panned Center.

On the Bass-DI Channel, I used Ampire XT to give it a good over all feel and sound. Most of the bass in the mix is from this channel. I used the Legacy Amp model with the 8x10 bass cab and only added a touch of reverb. Panned Center.

For the guitar, I duplicated the track and ran both signals through the Ampire XT Plugin.

Guitar 1 is running the Vintage British Amp with a 4x12 British cab and a slight amount of reverb. I also have it panned about 30% to the left.

Guitar 2 is running the Vintage American Amp with the 4x12 British Cab along with the Tube Driver pedal at 4.80 to give it a little extra punch and a slight amount of reverb. I have that channel panned 30% to the right.

On the Kick Drum, I ran it through a Compressor, Parametric EQ and the Expander to allow it to kick through the mix but not have it over bearing. Panned Center.

On the Overheads, I ran that through the Compressor and Parametric EQ which allow for the toms and cymbals to come through the mix. Panned Center.

The Snare Channel ran through the compressor, Parametric EQ and a Gate to make sure that it give a snap to the snare sound. Panned Center.

On the vocal channel, I ran it through a Compressor, Parametric EQ, Expander and a Room Reverb. Panned Center.

On the Main bus, I ran the bx-solo in the insert to add 200% extra stereo width and finally on the Post I added the Saturation Knob (2.5 Saturation level, Very Low Saturation Type) to add a little extra dirt to the track.
