DUB DISCUSSION BOARD

HM: Try looking for shops in germany that specialize in analog recording equipment. They're probably your best bet for finding one.

What are jinglecards? The tapes they use at radio stations?

Why don't you just take apart an old 8-track tape and make your own loops? Just get a 1/4" splicing block. I have found that this kind of tape (silicone lubricated) lasts longer and jams less in my tape echo. Editall makes good splicing blocks, look for one on ebay. I got a whole kit includ...

Heres an online lesson on playing ska and reggae guitar: <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.wholenote.com/default.asp?src=l&l=1184&p=1" TARGET="_top">http://www.wholenote.com/default.asp?sr ... 184&p=1</A> <BR> <BR>peace, <BR> <BR>looter

Right now I'm focusing on getting an old-school, dub drum sound. My goal is to mic the kit in a way that allows me to manipulate the snare and hi-hat sound for tubby-style effects. Does anyone know an easy way to do this? Keep in mind I'm working with only 4 tracks for the total mix. <BR> <BR>Also,...

I'm taking a likkle poll: Do record a live drummer or do you use loops, sampling, synths etc? <BR>Or, do you use both? <BR> <BR>If you use live drums, how do you set up & mic the kit? And if you use electronic drums how do you get your sound?

Right now I use a TASCAM 246 4-track cassette machine that I'm very happy with. It's the biggest and most featured of the company's first generation of Portastudios. It has a 6-channel, 4-bus mixer and a tape section that can record at regular or 2x speed with or without dbx. I'm very pleased w/ it...

I woild love to see that commercial. Guinness is hard to come by where I live &#40;america&#41;, you guys dont know how easy you've got it.

um, you have to pay for it. or know the right places to look.

Is there one drum machine that's THE dancehall drum machine, like the way the 808 is for rap?

How do i program old-sckool dancehall drum riddims into my drum machine? I like the sound of the early drum machines used in 80s dancehall &#40;old barrington levy, dennis brown, gregory issacs, etc&#41;. at least i think its from a drum synth..

Ok, I got the mutron III and the bi-phase mixed up. Let me make sure i undrestand now, the bi-phase is just like it sounds, a double phaser, right? And the III is an envelope filter. What can i do dubwise with the filter that i cant just do with the sweepable EQ on my mixer?

Respect to HM for the delay schooling. Very informative. Some of those points should be added to the dub production page.

How did LSP "play" the Mutron? I'm just starting to understand filters and I'm interested in their use dubwise.

oops, sorry. this was supposed to be part of the "dub construction kit" post. I think that Laswell's collection of samples is the closest thing to a dub construction kit you may get.

Does anyone have the Bill Laswell sample cd?

Just wondering if anyone knew what model of soundcraft desk lsp had. <BR> <BR>peace <BR>looter

Where can i download buzz? I'd never heard of it before it was mentioned on here. Does it lend itself easily to making dub?

Can someone explain this "quack" thing some more for me? Is there any way I can replicate the effect with sound processing software?
