The bass side comes into channel 2. It is compressed with IK Multimedia Fairchild 760 comp emulator and IK Pultec eq emulator. Then the signal is split with half of it going directly into a new channel and half of it going through an Amplitude overdrive channel. These get summed together and go thru a further IK compressor and, finally, an IK Brickwall Limiter. Here again, I try not to hit the limiter very much if at all. This channel leaves Live, and the Motu, through a third channel: channel 3. I have an expression controller that can raise and lower the level of the distortion channel.
