DUB DISCUSSION BOARD

Yeah, Nolan also wrote me by e-mail and it turned out his not affiliated with a record label as it seems from his post - he wants to compile music and has yet to find a label to release the compilations. And as you noted he didn't know much about Dub so far. <BR>Indeed I also think you cannot reall...

We have this list already. Please add your entries <A HREF="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... html">over here</A>!

i see that you draw a very strict line between dub and house, but i don't think this is really necessary. <BR>of course, if you take a typical house track and a dub tune from the seventies you will not find many common aspects. but compare a house tune to a dub track with steppers style drumming and...

no man.. Messian Dread the dub producer :-&#41;

Hi Hoester & bin_ez <BR> <BR>Thanks for taking your time for these detailed hints. Regarding your questions: <BR> <BR>- Bass drum: Yes, the bass drum is there (on every beat, steppers style). I was trying to get as close as possible to a seventies sound and therefore didn't want to use the e...

Thanks a lot for your comments Hoester.. Is there anything specific you would suggest to fatten up "Confident Dub"? <BR> <BR>BigUp <BR>Daniel aka The Interruptor

Here you can listen to 3 new Dubs of mine: <BR> <BR><B>African Satelite Dub</B> <A HREF="http://www.interruptor.ch/audio/africansatelitedub_56k_stereo.ram">lofi play</A> <BR>A hymn to mother Africa - birthplace of the human race. <BR> <BR><B>Confident Dub</B> <A HREF="http://www.interruptor.ch/audio...

"Bass Culture" by Lloyd Bradley is a general book on reggae's history up to the eighties. <BR> <BR>here's a positive and a not so positive review: <BR><A HREF="http://www.hilltop61.freeserve.co.uk/revlbradley.html">positive</A>, <A HREF="http://www.zerointegrity.co.uk/reviews/bassculture.html">not s...

here's a link to a page with samples of the yamaha rx5 mentioned above: <BR><A HREF="http://naoki.hirotaka.co.jp/R_box/Rx5/rx5.htm">link to webpage</A> <BR> <BR>and here a download link for a sample set of the roland r8: <BR><A HREF="http://www.headfuk.org/samples/r8.zip">download&#40;1.4 MB&#41;</A>

depending on your way of working you might find a pc based software drum machine useful. this can even be totally free. check this <A HREF="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... discussion here</A>.

hi blue eye! <BR> <BR>You got nice chord progressions and tight drum programming especially on the second track (Your roots dub). Very groovy.. Some of the sounds you use are a bit too plastic sounding for my taste (synth flutes, strings, bass drum) The singing is not yet on the lev...

just listening to the real audio versions: <BR>2. jah legion dub - i like the bass and melodica lines and also the filtertweaking on the drums. I think a heavier beat (steppers probably) would give it a lot more drive. Also why don't you try to work with different types of offbeat sounds to...

yo thanks mike! <BR> <BR>this is a nice addition to Dubcreator's post discussed <A HREF="http://www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/discu ... 1">here</A>. the new idea in this case is to use one mixer channel each as pre and post amp.

good point about the preamp.. all reverb units we discussed above do have built-in preamps though. <BR>even with a preamp the noise level is considerably higher than with a digital reverb unit. If one loves the spring sound it's just about finding ways to live with this.

Well I think that's the problem with any webpage: After you created it first nobody will care.. Apart from wanting to learn about Dub this was initially the reasons why I started this whole site! <BR> <BR>peace & good luck with your music <BR>The Interruptor

you can use a software called musicmatch <BR>which is available for free from mp3.com

Ampcast is a service you pay for. The good thing is you can have pages without add-banners and you can sell red book standard CDs of your music via ampcast (this means real full quality Audio CDs, not CDs made from uncompressed MP3 files). <BR> <BR>Another option is <A HREF="http://www.mp3.c...

Swinging Chad recommended the book "People Funny Boy" by David Katz on this board some time ago: "In the course of telling Lee Scratch Perry's life story he tells the whole story of Jamaican music. The best book ever on reggae." <BR> <BR>I am not aware of any books dedicated to dub alone. <BR> <BR>...

here's a link for the HDB products: <BR><A HREF="http://www.hdbaudio.de/de/produkte/tube ... m">link</A> <BR>The page also lists the price of the unit: 665 Deutschmark. &#40;something like 300 US$&#41;

Dub was invented back in the seventies when jamaican producers found out that instead of putting just an instrumental version of a song on the B-side of a vinyl single they could create additional value for the buyer when they enrichen these versions by the use of special mixing techniques and effec...
