Non-Live dubbing?

Post by Optimal » Tue Feb 01, 2005 12:04 am

I've been making dub on Logic recently... but not in real-time. What's all your opinions on sequencing dub &#40;with automations etc&#41;, rather than 'playing' it? <BR> <BR>Personally I think 'real', live dubbing is better, but if the end result sounds sweet, is there a problem? &#40;I have real issues with operating software effects in real time with a mouse&#41;

You should check out the behringer bcf2000 usb/midi mixer you can control vst fx in realtime <BR>and record the results. It works really good with logic and cubase.

I think whatever works for you is fine. <BR>Most of what I do is not 'live' dubbing &#40;although my stuff is more dub centered than 'pure' dub sounding &#40;however you would define that&#41;&#41;. <BR>For instance, in Cubase SX, once I tweak with the mouse a delay time to what sounds right, everything else I do with the delay I draw in on the automation lines. And I feel perfectly fine doing it. I can understand why some prefer using control rotaries or sliders, but I don't use them. <BR>Doing it quickly &#40;or 'live'&#41; and not getting hung up on every nuance and whether its right can of course yield natural and exciting results you wouldn't otherwise get &#40;a mix perfomance&#41;, capturing unique moments of inspiration, just like you might get stuff in a music jam you wouldn't get if you mapped it all out. But on the other hand there would be a lot of good music missing in the world if there wasn't pre-meditation and careful tweaking, I like to make well structured tracks that have a muscial 'narrative', and that won't come from jamming a mix &#40;although the last thing I did was an on the instance thing, and it turned out quite pleasing to me&#41; <BR>Do what you want I say, and if it ends up sounding good then it is good. <BR>No rules and no one way you have to do it.

Well, here's what I've been doing... <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/taxidub" TARGET="_top">http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/taxidub</A> <BR><A HREF="http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/dubplat" TARGET="_top">http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/dubplat</A> <BR><A HREF="http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/politicaldub" TARGET="_top">http://www.stirlingengine.co.uk/politicaldub</A> <BR> <BR>I've liked the idea of 'dubbing' movies recently, so that's what I've done. Everything is sequenced... there's no live tweeking, but I did play all the instruments in live &#40;except midi organs and drums&#41;. <BR> <BR>Let me know what you think... <BR> <BR>Just thought it might not be allowed to post your music in here. If not apologies, and feel free to delete.
