and huge VU meters. don't forget the meters...
and if you use 456 the upper mids compress forever... can't forget that.. so you may as well toss in a multiband to simulate that aspect...

oh, and depth... you'll need a depth simulator...

and a crunch simulator...

and smell-0-vision.. gotta have that tape smell...
