Non-Live dubbing?

I think whatever works for you is fine. <BR>Most of what I do is not 'live' dubbing (although my stuff is more dub centered than 'pure' dub sounding (however you would define that)). <BR>For instance, in Cubase SX, once I tweak with the mouse a delay time to what sounds right, every...

Stylus RMX 1.2 spring

You're right, it only works as part of Stylus, and you can't route audio through Stylus, so it can only be used on sounds being made in Stylus. <BR> <BR>I was curious from a technical point of view, to see if a spring had been done well in the vst environment. <BR> <BR>Well, in a word, no. <BR>It g...

UAD to do re-201

Thanks for the info. <BR>Yes, I'm thinking of setting up a site for my music. It creates a good impression if you can say to people that they can go to your own site. I also want to be able to sell tracks, although I don't anticipate many sales.

Primitive Man [Dirty Cave Dub] - minimal dub

Hey, peace everyone. <BR> <BR>I think the bass sound is good. <BR> <BR>Mr Dubb - wrongness and the concept of 'correct instruments' have no place here in my opinion. And what is it you think 'dub does'? <BR> <BR>It was an entertaining 4.30 minutes for me, and what more can you hope for than that.

My DrumDrops review

Yes, you are right. Thing is, there is a local college station that has a dub show on it, and the DJ plays my stuff. I listen on Medium Wave, and if I don't pay attention to the higher frequencies the bass gets lost, but the bass on the commercial releases doesn't. Even though I guess most people l...

My DrumDrops review

Thanks for the info - I'm going through a DOD FX 25 (green pedal) as an envelope filter, which cuts out all the higher frequencies, adding eq and compression and I'm getting the best sound I've had on my system. I boost what remains of the higher regions in order to make the bass audible on...

correction: There are also phrase samplers still being made, but they're not designed for the job in question. <BR> <BR>And if you had a laptop you could also run one of the many software samplers &#40;or suitable software synths on it&#41;.
