I think it is great to see the mental approach to designing here. It's too easy to get lost in plug-ins and forget what your trying to replicate what you hear in your head! nice work!

It would of been nice to see how you added the plugins, not just i used these 3 things. It didnt come across like a tutorial more just this is the work flow.

Ive never seen this ProTools Layout before (with the Channel Strip at the top), how can I activate it?
