I have some good and bad news,
The bad news is that I need some knee operation next month.
The good news, that I will have a lot of time to spend @ home.
I decided to spent that time to make a dive into producing some dubmusic
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I love to listen to dubmusic, my favorites are:
*the Jahtari label
*Abassi All Stars
*Alpha & Omega
*Dub Syndicate
*King Tubby
*Lee Scratch Perry
*Mad Professor
*Scientist
*Prince Far I
*KoCha

and many more
Now I dont have much knowledge about producing music...
I use Cubase for some years but I never found much time to understand it all so I am still a big amateur. Here a link to some of my experiments:

Its not dub at all

I would like to produce it digital, because I have a lot of softwaretools already.
1) For the drums I use battery 3 and FXpansion Guru,
after reading 2 days here in the forum I finally understood that you have to:
*use delay on the single hits
(I dont like to use loops because I cant make them sound dubby till now)
*use spring reverb on the single hits
*use some arpeggiator
*velocity changes is the key to good dubbeat, different HHs and at different volumes
*Some nice info about 2 dub patterns is on here
I love the bionic delay btw.
Can I use that delay and reverb on all hits or is it important to use it most on the snare?
What troubles me is building the right pattern, now I know that I need to listen to even more dub and that it will become easier but do you guys think that this can help me?
"Drum Machine Patterns, A collection of 200 contemporary rhythm patterns to program into your drum machine by rene-pierre Bardet"
I guess there will be no dub patterns in it but maybe just to understand the patterns better?
Some other suggestions about the drums?
2) I would like to make the bassline with TAL-Bassline, a free plugin that Klau5 linked here, it has a nice preset called softbass and I learned here
that I need to cut out the high frequencies.
How can I make the sound warmer and brigther?
Is that where PSP vintagewarmer comes in?
Can I use distortion on it?
Can delay and reverb be used here too?
Comes a bassamp into play here?
The other option is to use Broomstickbass which has some nice bassguitarsounds, like the fenderbass, maybe using Guitar rig on it to get that real dubbass feeling, but too bad I had no succes with it till now, so I am open for any suggestions.
I could ask more questions about horns, trumpet, FX but I think I made this post already way too long.
Last thing I would like to mention is that I use a KorgPadkontrol and an oxygen8 midikeyboard, if that makes any difference.
Does someone has experience with the padkontrol?
Maybe using delay or reverb on the XYpad?
Sorry for my english and all the noobquestions, thats why I posted in the beginnerssection

I love the KocHa videos on Youtube btw, what hardware or midicontroller is he using?
Found the link to the open dubfoundation too, great samples and projects there to start with.
I will be happy about any reply and I hope this forum isnt dead
