DUB DISCUSSION BOARD

Hi!
That‘s a fantastic video! It was an eye opener for me.

Which version of the tune? 1977 or 1984?

Finally there is one more option: A set of 24 drum tracks played by Style Scott the original Roots Radics drummer are available in mutitrack format at drum-drops.com for EUR 33.50:

I just found this video: DM Kahn shows in detail how he gets the roots radics sound: - Ludwig Supraphonic 402 alu snare - tune the top membrane to ca. 160Hz - tune the bottom membrane one octave higher (ca. 320 Hz) - dampen some of the snare wires - dampen one third of the top membrane with a piece ...

I was not aware about a need for samples taken from old session tapes. The examples you posted show the typical acoustic Reggae snare sound of the early eighties. Protoje and other current Roots artists are heavily influenced by that era just before the simmons drum came on the scene around 1983. Fr...

Hi Lordvibrato Glad you found this tiny but cherished spot in the depths of the world wide web :-) The link pointed to a forum post I wrote 18 (whut??) years ago. In the meantime the forum was ported to new platforms a number of times, hence the dead link.. The complete forum topic can still be foun...

I found an older post where some users reported the same problem with my other VST „Analogic Delay“. You might want to check, whether in your installation a sub directory was created with the magneto vst. If this is missing, the feedback loop cannot work. See these posts here: http://www.interruptor...

Russ Disciple recently shared on Facebook two videos of himself dubbing. He seems to be doing just what you described. On his digital desk he is switching the left hand faders to different functions several times during each take. https://www.facebook.com/vinny.kullar/videos/2875260722561649/ https:...

Hi, I am using it in Reaper 64bit too without any problems. Please check the following: - Do you have the latest version? Get the download from the vst page on this site. - Sometimes there are problems with write permissions. Try the following: • Use Windows Explorer to browse to your VST Plugins fo...

Sounds like sloppy playing to me. It's really surprising how often it happens though..
I listened to the tune many times over the years and never noticed until today how many offkey notes there actually are. Maybe the player was struggling to fit his/her fingers on a keyboard with mini keys?

Hi Ricky Upon starting these plug-ins for the first time a number of files are automatically extracted to your VST folder. On newer Windows versions by default plug-ins are not allowed to write files to your hard drive. This will typically cause an error message from your DAW reporting missing files...

Thanks for the info.. I definitely recognise these sounds. And it sounds as raw as it looks.

Instead of mixing in the box I use two scope boards from soniccore (ex creamware) configured as a digital mixing board. These are midi controlled by the bcr2000. The advantage is that i can connect my external effects without latency. :) This is great. I also use a bcr for dubbing. They are so flexi...

I agree with that.. Sampling individual hits from drum intros is a very efficient way to get close to the original feel. You can slice a drum intro into all the different hits and play your own rolls.
It's worth going through recordings from the rock Steady era for this type of drum hits too.

Electronic percussion sounds like this were popular in the late 70s. Sometimes they are refered to as "disco toms". For dub heads a device called "Synare" is popular, which can do sounds like in the track you mentioned and far crazyer stuff too. See this video starting at 05:48 https://youtu.be/Kvsb...

I don't have access to these libraries, but there are specialised groups online. At gearslutz.com someone recommends a facebook group for everything akai related: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1015161-official-akai-sample-library.html ht...

nuff classics in these two lists..
that surely was a lot of typing my friend..

Thanks for sharing
I like that last one "Sweeter Mix 7d"!
