Hello everyone,
This was a pretty cool song.  I've been using less and less of the "analog" plugins lately, but this song kind of made me want to work only with the analog plugins.  I did it in two stages, and I know it's fairly convoluted, but it was kind of fun.  I did a tracking stage and then a mix stage.  I put a 1073 plugin and a Studer tape plugin on every track did a quick pass to get things in a good place and then I froze those tracks.  I then bussed tracks down (Kick to one track, Snare to one, Toms to one stereo, etc.). After that I used API Legacy to do the main mixing stage.  I used only analog modeled plugins except for a couple of areas where I used Pro-Q3 to do some surgery.  The mix buss started with API preamps and then Pro-C2 (not sure why I stayed with that) into Ampex tape, Inflator, and then L2 on the heater.  It was a lot of fun and pretty quick.  I know there is a lot more to do to this one, but I did what I could with the time I had today.  Let me know what you think, or what I can do better.  
Also, I know that the plugins are less than half the battle.  There are some fundamentals that I'm still working on.
Thanks!
Brandon
