Using Pre Recorded Elements
Thursday 15-Feb-2001 19:09:39
Whoops sorry about the previous posts THe Weed Made Me DO IT! But seriously I know about dub creation through the computer and through instruments but I don't want to use the computer or instruments strictly pre-created music - so how would one separate an old say Alton Ellis song into 4 separate track using just hardware. I am sure Tubby and all them didn't have live instruments at dance parties to mix with - how did they separate existing songs off of records or were they just pre recorded separate instruments? that would suck for me
Anyone interested in forming a virtual DUB band? I play DUB/REGGAE guitar. I also do drum programming/VST engineering/ producer. Influences:Dub Syndicate LSP Zion Train Mad Proffessor I use Cubase VST 5.0 mostly but i do work with other software occassionally. Initially I need a bass player. But all singers and players of instruments welcome. The Technology is here NOW! We can send tracks via e-mail.
big up all dub assassins outtahere....here rudy from bologna italy speakin........anyone knows prices and adresses for mastering in switzerland or germany from dat-cd-adat to master .. i have my cuts finished but here in italy prices are too high and people are a little incompetent when it comes to masteriing dub--jungle derivated music..... pls...help dis italian rude boy.........aight!!!!???big up interruptor for his great site an all massiv around the world guidance rudy bologna
I'm surprised you say producing is expensive in Italy. IMO (I'm German) it's more expensive in Germany than in Italy due to the high personal cost for the procuder room studio rent etc. Hmm may be you might find some really good (but not necessary cheap) producer here.
Furthermore Italy seems to have got some real underground like producing and publishing possibilities. I'm just thinking to Officina 99 and projects like this. The label Anagrumba has released some (high quality !) music similar to dub few years ago. They must have a really great producer there.
Dont't know where Almamegretta do produce their stuff.
How about contacting Madaski in Torino ? He was producer for Africa Unite during their dub time. And he's doing innovative jungle now.
hanx mr.muzza for reply .......i must admit i have forgotten abt madaski ..i recorded some punky reggae trax 6-7 years ago.with my punk rock band the late ghetto 84 (sigh...) thanx .well massive tell me where u from.. germany ...??as i live in bologna italu but grow up in pforheim baden wurtenberg..... ciaoooooooooo rudeman
I'm a bass player i want to start my (punk) dub band (or project).
I need to get some stuff (consoles ect...)who would be perfect for recording and mixing live instruments and have lots of effects especially delays. But i need it to be affordable (but pro sounding at least for a demo.
Can somebody give me some advice or even better some suggestions of consoles and effect boxes etc. I can purchase.
Very good and small desk for live situations and recording. Mackie SR24-4... 24 channel 4 stereo aux returns 6 aux sends 4 subgroups. Should be able to find one (new) 1500$us.
Do you have other players for your band? I play guitar and do drum programming and DUB engineering and I have tons of pro equipment...Mackie Board Cubase VST/32 5. 0 drum machines samplers as well as analog multi-track..a shitload of effects... i need a bass player to lay DUB basslines onto my rhythm tracks...are you interested?...we might be able to exchange tracks via e-mail?
I'm also just starting to put together a clandestine little studio. Get a Tascam 246. They discontinued them but theyre one hell of a 4-track. Sublime did all the demos on "Robbin the Hood" with one. I just bought one myself on ebay. Email me sometime we can talk shop or something.
I'm looking at producing traditional reggae dub and I have questions about melodica's. Is there one specific type of melodica that sounds best with dub? I'm felling a big Augustus Pablo influence here what did he use?
All Melodicas have the same basic sound. They come in different ranges like Alto Soprano etc but any one of them will do. I believe Pablo used a piano-style maybe an HM-26 judging from pictures I've seen. I bought an HM-901 from a junk shop and I get the same sound. Very easy to play and nothing else gets that classic Dub sound.
I was wondering if anyone here ever listened to Kruder & Dorfmeister?
They apply (especially Kruder) this kind of nice filtered delay fx very often. I think its a delay time of 1/8 but I am not sure. Also wondering how they filter it. I've tried to imitate it using a cut up sampled delay and put the Emu filters over it but it doesn't sound right to me. Does anyone know how these things are done?
Would it help if I fee back my delay channel (rtrn of the fx box) back to the fx box to get a kind of feedback loop???
Check UK dub/dance band Back To Base especially their collaboration with dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah (first singer to record with Wailers after death of Bob Marley) Track from latest album on CD with next issue of Blu Mag. more info www.backtobase.demon.co.uk
I've seen some kind of rhythm/effect box produced by Yamaha. It's a box with a techno like design about 8 effect controls a rudimental equalizer a couple of drum rhythms and a sample scratch device. It does cost about 300 US$. It seems to be a new development.
Anyone of you does know it ?
Could it a good bargain for someone (me!) just for starting with dub not made with software only ? The effects seem to be sufficient (delay echo etc.) so far. I'm not sure about the possibilities to program own drum patterns and to use own samples. And the customer didn't know it too. How about the sound quality ? How about its robustness especially of those control buttons. Do they break easily won't they produce annoying (unwanted) noise effects due to bad electric contact ?
Is it easy enough to manage under live conditions or does it make sense only with home studio productions ?
I know it's not a professional device. I just need something cheep for to start. And it shall work for creating/ supporting some dub style tunes.
I thought to use it the box for support with drum patterns/ loops noise effects and sample effects. I may plug in external devices as cd player radio tape recorder cheep microphone beginners keyboard (cinch midi). If necessary a computer with a couple of soft synths samplers trackers etc. may be plugged in too (cinch midi).
Anyone of you could help me ? Thanks !
Muzza
P.S. I don't need Yamaha own device descriptions or advertisment texts since they don't seem to be very believable.
try maximum boost on one frequency on one channel and alter the frequency to give you wah effects also nice with added reverb echo etc. the old desks used by tubby perry etc didn't have this facility as the eq;s stepped the frequencies ie'300 hz/500hz/1khz with to recreate this stepped eq shifts use snapshots of the eq on a digital desk/computer to jump about harder on a new analogue desk. try splitting the signal down 4 or more channels all with different eq and turn them on one at a time
nuff respect to all dub maniacs from bologna italy......listen sound bwoys ..i trying to find decent basslines outta a keyboard ..any suggestion on wich one to use?????anyway happy new year all soundmassive dubaddicts and wiseguys..............ciaoooooo rudy
It depends on what type os sound you want how much you want to spend and if its a rack or keyboard or software. the novation basstation is ok but its better for acid bass as opposed to real bass. i use a boss syb3 pedal cause theyre cool cheap built like a tank and it can do lots. for software theres some good vst plugins at www.sonicspot.com try out the sub bass synth in the maxim pack. theres a really cool peavey bass module i cant remember the name but they were discontinued recently maybe you could get one cheap.
I need acid pro but I'm broke (classic sob story.) I was hoping a good sumeritan (with a cable-connection for your own sake) could attach it to an e-mail. Easy way to earn brownie point's with god...
do you use fruity pro? check out this site with tips and tricks about fruity plus chat message board fruity webring downloads of fruity files like ts404 presets .flp's and sim synth files. its at http://www.fruityprowebring.com peace.....
Okay I have looked over this message board and seen some questions on how to get started making dub. My question goes a little deeper does anyone out there have information a list of some sort about the actual instruments used by tubby scientist and scratch. I know one piece was the Roland Space Echo but there has gotta be others.
I know many of them made their own stuff but I am convinced that there's more to the original sound. On the same subject anyone know what organs keyboards backing bands such as the Roots Radics used?
According to "People Funny Boy" Scratch used these in the early days of Black Ark (1973-75):
Alice mixer (Scratch: "They weren't professional machines they were only toys") Grantham spring reverb Roland Space Echo RE201 Marantz amplifier for instruments AKG drum mic for vocals Teac 3340 1/4 inch 4-track recorder Teac 2-track recorder for mix down
In 1975 he added some new equipment: Soundcraft mixer (replaced the Alice) Mutron phaser (an early demo model) better mics
Around 1979 he was given a Teac 1/2 inch 8-track recorder but he didn't like it and almost never used it.
If you want to see Scratch working this stuff at Black Ark get the video "Roots Rock Reggae" from Sanachie. And the book "People Funny Boy" by David Katz is a must also. 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.
In discussing Tubby Katz says that his equipment was mostly handmade and can't really be duplicated.
for an awesome roots organ check out the hammond M3 or anything in the L series. (L100 or L122 are best) i spoke with scientist himself at show out here in california and some of his tricks for the drums include taping a quarter where the mallet strikes the bass drum head also wooden mallet works best. tape a shamois to snare drum head and duct tape the hell out of your toms. run your hi-hat through a phaser. hope this helps a bit...
sound fonts
Monday 27-Nov-2000 11:44:56
need sound fonts desparately any dub/reggae sound fonts would be much apprieciated.
hi there does any one know how to get the hi hat to drift that much ?? i play drums via a keyboard which really sucks and i dont seem to get a nice drift going on . it sounds like a short delay but i've tried this with my space echo but the deal is rather fixed which reduces the "swing" of the hi hat. any tips ??
secondly does any one have any experience with the bass pod from line 6 ? I use the sub dub amp for you guessed it the bass but i cant seem to get that authentic dub bass sound even with an envelope follower (set to minimal fc). the low strings are to dominant compared to the higher two no matter what configuration of effects i use.
Synth or drummachine hihats suck always. What you can do is play with 6 to 10 different hihat types from different machines and the most important... you have to play with a lot of feel velocity changes. Try to think like a drummer.
With the Bass use flatwound strings and a good compressor and with a parametric multiband EQ you can filter out unwanted freqs and/or boost the ones you want
If you want to hear some great new "contemporary" Dub sounds then check these albums... Dub Trees-"Nature Never Did Betrsy The Heart That loved Her" (L.S.D./Dragonfly Records)UK More Bass than Space - Compilation (Dubmission Records) UK
Both albums feature some of the freshest music with heart available now. The vibes are Good and the space is Deep check them both for Smokin' Smiles:-)
We are trying to do some dubby stuff in real time that is with a real bass playing the line a live drummer (preferably -- but more likely a drume machine/beat producer) and effects added later. any suggestions for doing the dub as you record as opposed to post production? we are kind of low fi-ish style dub and anything you could send would be helpful
two possibilities: - get someone behind the mixing desk who knows how to mix dub at your concerts. He will connect the necessary effects (echo first of all) and "dubmix" the group. This has the disadvantage that it brings the mixman in a godlike position as he will "switch on and off" the individual group members in order to create the effects wanted. (Typical example: first add echo to the offbeat guitar then fade it out so that just the echo goes on for a while)
- the second possibility is that all group members get individual effect units for themselves which they control themselves. This means spending more money on equipment but makes it possible to really dub together. Off course all members have to listen very closely to what others play in order not to overcrowd the sound - which happens very easily when using echoes..
Finally and most importantly: Listen closely to dub music you like and try to figure out how it was made!

greetings dubsters.
The November edition of Bingi's guide to dub mp3 music is now ready for viewing/listening.
Includes tunes by MAD PROFESSOR and THE SCIENTIST as well as new dubplates from DUBCREATOR DUBMUDTREE BINGIMAN VINYLISTY CRAZYBALDHEADS DUB1 and much much more.
The arkive is now past the magic 50 tune mark and growing!!
we want to organise a dub party. Not a normal one. Not one of those commercial style dub parties. It shall be rather weird. Our dj/party skills (still) are rather low (few mixing experience no toasting skills some experience with ska parties) but we have a usable music collection for a hot night.
May be you have some suggestions for some nice "additional features" for the party. Experimental stuff would be welcome. How to create some "halluzinating" light effects (with low cots equipment ... video beamers are too expensive) ? Any experiences with just adding noise effects using some seperate equipment (seperate cd player maybe even seperate amplifier and boxes). What drinks and food are the hit (don't tell me just about that non efect cannabis cola or non-efect hemp sandwiches) ?
We need more weird(!) dub like that Dubadelic or Trumystic Sound System stuff. And also very (extremely?) hard neo dub noisy dublike sounds etc. Any suggestions on what to buy ? ... shame on us - we're using cd players and/or tapes ...
How to create effects with normal equipment allowing few effects only ? Stuff like putting small pieces of metal or glasses-on-glass on loudspeakers or using rotating hi-frequency loudspeakers plugging in old radio receivers or mixing in very old classic plates you know ... Just for example where to put in the microphone for bad effects ?
Where to chill out when there's few place ? Do we need bunk beds with headphones for each place ?
Any idea for unusual but usable loacations ? Our only ideas till now are old cellars or air-raid shelters.
We want to make it cheap. Better yery cheap. Do sponsors necessarily destroy the atmosphere or might they be integrated in good way ?
How to keep the air clean in rooms without air condition ?
How to make people not crying around "free marihuana" outside the location ? Any more security hints ?
I know about Fruity Loops as a possible software for creating dub tunes. I'm starting with Buzz since it's much more potential (every imaginable software effect machine may be plugged in for free and you may use lots of sound generators as samplers synthesizers etc.). Well Buzz is rather hard to understand and to use but contrary to hardware equipment it's free (I may "learn" to crate dub tracks with buzz and may be buy some hardware later).
Is there anyone among you who is using buzz (or maybe just tracker software as FastTracker ModPlug Tracker or MadTracker) too ? I still need some help and may be some (source code) songs as demo/ tutorials.
Is there a manual for dubbing for bloody stupid beginners ? (besides that wonderful DubMeCrazy site)
If not I might create one (after one or two years of experience). So anyone would like to join me ? I mean that serious !
Producing a traditional dub reggae track in 6 steps:
1. get the following equipment: - multitrack tape recorder - mixing desk - amplifier and speakers to monitor your music - a tape or DAT recorder to capture your final mix - effect units: echo reverb - cables to connect everything - instruments & players: drums bass guitar keyboards horns percussion vocals
2. record a song or at least a basic arrangement. - record each instrument or instrument group on an individual track of your tape
3. set the levels and equalizing for each track on the mixing desk so that you get a basic mix.
4. run the song and switch on and off individual tracks during the song. typical settings are: - all tracks - just drums & bass - no bass no drums - no voice for most of the mix
5. use the different effects on the individual tracks. typical techniques are: - connect the effects to the auxiliary outs of your mixing desk. Thus you can set the effect level for each track individually - set delay times to match the song speed (use whole beat half beat tripplet timing.. very typical: one and a half beat) - reverb or echo on the snare drum; not everytime but once in a while - change the delay time during the song - this leads to echoes bouncing up and down in pitch (only on analog delay units) - echo on the offbeat guitar: open aux send slowly over 2 bars letting the echoes accumulate until they start to overcrowd the sound then switch off the offbeat track. the delays will go on for a while and fade out. - make sure the sound stays crisp: keep bass and drums dominant; don't open all aux sends at once
6. repeat the whole mix many times and listen to the recorded dubs afterwards. select the best version.
I hope this helps to get you started. feel free to ask if there are open questions.
thanks for your easy to understand answer (and that one 2 or 3 articles up). Tough I was looking for a pure software based solution your 6 step way basically shall work with the synthe-sequencer Buzz. What I need now are hi-quality samples for piano/guitar for chords (those that really work with dub not that classic piano etc.) bass (hmm I'm synthesizing one right now) and brass. It seems impossible to find great sounding brass samples/instrument files. Not those amiga sounding brass. Natural sounding samples that would work with a pure ska song too. For melody and for chords (well for chords bad samples might work too). How to make the the off-beat organ bubble ?
hi Massa KR i am a buzz-user and i really love that BUZZ. to me it's the best software to create dub (but of course all other great music) buzz has for example many different delay effects so if you have any questions about BUZZ then ask.
Does any one have any info on the late great Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze i have a couple of his (many) releases but know next to nothing about the man himself so if someone out there knows...
DUB - The real story! Now I want to post something concerning Chuck Foster's review in October's Beat Magazine of the cd "Dub Meet Dub" from Winsuk Records/Black Spine Productions http://winsukrecords.bizland.com. Chuck gave it a good review - the album has an edge and it has crude politically motivated cover... but he also called it a "one man dub asault" The album is in fact a compilation from tracks composed performed produced amd copyrighted by the following artists:
1. roland z - from California (2000) - hiphop/reggae fusion - "Angry Dub" (also available on Mutabaruka's sly and vicious deep jazz ep cd "Siddung pon di wall" and separately on 12" vinyl) COMMENT: razor sharp not for the weak at heart.
2. Dubware - from Italy (from "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that skank" 1999 Arrayed Roots Sound) - neo-roots - "Lorn" (also available on vinyl 7") COMMENT: Dubware has recently been carving its name across the media of two continents with the recently released cd "Visions of Babylon".
3. Horace Grant (formerly of the Silvertones) from Jamaica by way of San Diego (own production company partnered with dj Sir Life UCY Productions; from his 1999 cd "Jah Love") - roots-meets-dancehall - "Keep Dubbing" COMMENT: As they used to say on Black radio stations "a Strooong song!"
4. Louie Fleck - from NYC a member of well-known NYC reggae/ska band The Motives (from his self produced cd "Instrumentality" 1998 alternate take) - progressive dub - "Too Much Free Time" COMMENT: exquisite precision from a master of his instruments.
5. MuddyFace - from Detroit MI via Rochester NY (12" mix 2000 MuSuck Records) - trip-hop - "Motley Mix" (co-produced bt Tom McKurth) COMMENT: Go there! - You will not return!
6. feuk - from Scotland (has recently changed his performance name to filtor) - "dark drum n bass" - "Arachnid" (1999; also available on 12" vinyl) COMMENT: A real Dance Club shaker.
7. hormonE - from St. Petersburg Russia - breakbeat drum -n-bass - "All People" (1999; also available on 12: vinyl) COMMENT: Lilting Eastern melody fragments above a kick-ass bass.
9. Ancient Strap-on - from Germany by way of Rochester NY (1999 Ancient Strap-On) - African influenced chant - "Monk Bait" COMMENT: These guys have been underground stars in Western New York since the mid-80s. This started out as a parody of Gregorian chant but once African rhythmic patterns were introduced both broadened and deepened accordingly.
10. Ras Prophet - from Pittsburgh PA (from "Feel the Fire" 1997 Ras Prophet) - poppy roots dub - :"Real Dub" COMMENT: These are the hardworking profesionals of the album and as with all truly hard-working-professional music a heap of a lot of fun!
10. Free Sex Gum from Albany NY by way of Rochester NY (from "Heaven and Hell" JDF Industries 1988) - New Wave - "Window Shopping" COMMENT: Another underground rock fave this was the third version of FSG and includes Doug Hazard and Fred Wagner; recorded on cassette 4 track but with surprising good quality. Imagine your home town as hell and you are Jesus harrowing it. Note the Tubby-isms which were actually borrowed by way of Adrian Sherwood.
11. JahDub (Rick Stonecypher) - from North Carolina - "acid dub" (1999) - "Zion" COMMENT: NOT to be confused with recent Continental star "Jah Acid Dub" - Rick actually used both the name and the idea of "acid dub" first - and does it better I think. This is a truly beautiful piece.
(- Of course myself:) 12. Winner "Natty" (alternate take) - from NYC by way of Rochester NY (from "I-Dub" 1999 Winsuk Records). COMMENT: I'll stick with my typical notation: "throbbing dream musique".
13. Messian Dread - from the Netherlands (from "The Dubroom Archives" ca. 1998 the Dubroom) 12" mix - strictly roots - "Bloodsucker" COMMENT: Could just as well have been recorded in Jamaica ca. 1977 this is roots to the root believe me - and still timeless.
Most of these artists have sites on mp3.com; in addition Messian Dread Dubware Feuk/filtor and roland z operate independent sites with plenty music to spare.. Louie Fleck can be contacted via the web-site of the Motives.
I really believe this album is definitive exactly because it avoids the trap of having every track sound the same. It is a real muusical adventure - hold on for dear life ! You won't be disappointed. 1 love shared ej
Hey Anyone got any sample cd´s? I´m looking for the Bill Laswell one. Do you know of any other good sample cd´s with dub? Let me know if you´re interested in trading I´ve got a couple of sample cd´s (no dub though).. /Johan
I have the Laswell CD. It's crucial. DUB TACTIC MANUAL is probably not what you think it is. I would say that the CD is esoteric and original exploring the outerlimits of DUB Jungle and Material style construction kits. I wish it had some generic dub for beginners to use. Most of this CD is for experienced DUB technicians(I use Cubase and don't have a sampler). However I consider it an essential tool for every DUB artist..beginner to advanced...I will trade for DUB only(not interested in any other music)
Hi I'm Amy from France and just recently a friend lent me a King Tubby cd. Before that i had no idea what "dub" was. But now i really like it. Can any of you tell me where it comes from how it's made (instruments...) or anything else you can think of! I'll be waiting for your answers Bisous Amy
To my opinion the real Dub started with King Tubby Coxsone and Lee Perry. Dub was in those early days a special cut from an already recorded track. leaving out all kinds of instruments. And the drums and the bass as a massive foundation of a track. Mixing in guitar skanks organs pieces of horns vocals added with lots of effect to get this "out of this world" space effects on a rough riddim. Tubby was a special man he builded his own custom mixing desk and effect machines and thats why he had such a unique sound. In these days the most dub is already produced as dub and not a "version" of a vocal track. Listen to Disciples Alpha & Omega Jah Shaka (and my own tunes) that's what i call new generation Dub. don't be fooled by the term DUB becouse lots of house and techno dudes are using this term also. Remember... real DUB always is a reggae riddim .

so i really want your help... cuz i know there's a lot of you guys who are really into this...
WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE DUB??? THANKS!! spread the love...
Check out the fine tricks this already supplyed this side and remember a dub- forum is the most Quiet place at earth we all sit and wait for some-one else to by accident mention one of their small secrets :-)
You need a mixer with lots of knobs and/or a decent DAW dependend the way to work and the specific style.
Triks shown this side Might be a good star- ting point best things You discover By Your self late at night
We are blessed anything is alowed and listening to DUB becommes more and more exiting as we grow.
Dont expect a lot of interest or fame :-)
Playing at least one instrument will imp- prove You odds drastically many dubheads are fine Multi-instrumentalists.
Yo all Did anybody here have listen to this new "Sound Virus Dub Tactic Manual" an audio sample CD produced by Bill Laswell (www.timespace.com)? Does it worth the (not a likkle) money? Thanks for any info. NM
DUB TACTIC MANUAL is great for advanced DUB technicians. The CD is esoteric and original stretching to the outer limits of DUB. There's some killer Jungle on it too! I wish it had some generic DUB for beginners to utilize. I load it directly into Cubase because I don't have a sampler with OK results.
Pleeeeaaaaasssseeee help me. I am very interested in dubbing and have not the slightest on where to start. I have been reading the posts on here and I don't even know half of what you are saying. I am interested in making tracks that are completely of other people's music. Get it? What the hell do I buy and what do I need? (Break it down like a 2 year old for me.) And please give me the details. Can I do this all via computer or do I need other things? Cost?
It seems that many people starting from zero use a software called "fruity loops" nowadays. I never tried it myself but here is their address: http://www.fruityloops.com/ There are more posts on this board from users of this program.
hey summer i dont know whether your question on where to start with dub has been answered but i can help. i am heavily into dub creation and started off just like you not having a clue where to start. there are two ways you can go about it. 1. have a live band. you will pretty much need a whole studio to go about recording live dub. 2. or you can create dub tracks on computer. this way you can use samples (other peoples work - sorry if this is too basic). programmes that i would recomend to you would be Fruity Loops Acid or my prefered programme Cubase. the first two are for using just samples but Cubase can use samples and Sound Fonts (sounds in the computer that are played using an external keyboard. basicaly you will need a PC a decent sound card (soundblaster live or platinum) and your prefered programme. most computer shops should be able to help you choose the right programme.
hope i have been of assistance. get dubbing. Dylan (vigilante) vgl_68@yahoo.com
I have recently heard a King Tubby Channel One version of Summertime by Gershwin. Any idea who the performer is and if it's on any albums/compilations. Email floatyboaty@yahoo.com if you have any idea. Thanks. FB.
The only summertime i know about was produced by lee perry. artist: Errol Walker. it's on Arkology. title: "In These Times". The dub track is even better also on Arkology. -zardoz

I AM CRUCIAL DUB CREATOR WITH BOMBASTIC COLLECTIONS OF SOUNDFONTS
I just started working with fruity loops and I'm pretty dissapointed with the drum sounds I've been getting out of it. They all seem to have that shitty plasticy 80's casio type sound. Am i doing something wrong am I not doing something right or is fruity loops just a bad program? Those of you who don't utilize a live drum kit - what do you use for drum beats?
the way to get good drum sounds in fruity loops is to open a few breakbeats in a sample editor and copy the bass hit and snare hit and hi hat hit into seperate files then load the single-drum hits into seperate channels on fruity loops
Forget that stuff!!! Sample records for your drums or record yourself banging on anything even if you don't have drums--wood tin cans plastic buckets--
but for ill beats get some fities bebop small band jazz records--they always let the drummer take a solo--then you're set to chop the samples to bitz!

Hi mm I have Wayne Jarret's "Bubble Up" (CD) bought on the street during Nottin'Hill Carnival'97. I don't where you are from but if you're in London you could try Jet Star: Acton Lane Park Royal London NW10 7NJ tel (old stylee): 0181-961 5818. If they're still there could you do me a big favor? Ask them if they still have available Horace Andy's "Dance Hall Style" (also Wackie's CD)? 'Cause I've lost mine and I live in Rio de Janeiro!! :(( Respec' NM
Check out http://www.mp3.com/dubcreator for some massive Dub vibes. Also special requests for sounds @ http://www.dubcreator.net and go to the official DC pages.
Just thought you would like to know that the JULY 2000 selection of some of the best dubplate MP3z by unsigned artists from around the world is now available at http://www.bingi.com.
Well first off I'm a guitar player with a basist and drummer. I know the whole point of dub is using the mixing board as an instrument and not focusing on live gigs. However I really want to play dub live with my band. We have the extreme basics as far as equipment goes. Being as specific and english oriented as you all could...What would I need to help a ska band like us grow some dub roots =) ? Thanks a lot guys.
two possibilities: - get someone behind the mixing desk who knows how to mix dub at your concerts. He will connect the necessary effects (echo first of all) and "dubmix" the group. This has the disadvantage that it brings the mixman in a godlike position as he will "switch on and off" the individual group members in order to create the effects wanted. (Typical example: first add echo to the offbeat guitar then fade it out so that just the echo goes on for a while)
- the second possibility is that all group members get individual effect units for themselves which they control themselves. This means spending more money on equipment but makes it possible to really dub together. Off course all members have to listen very closely to what others play in order not to overcrowd the sound - which happens very easily when using echoes..
Finally and most importantly: Listen closely to dub music you like and try to figure out how it was made!
Get the dub rolling..
(Just saw Jah Shacka perform in Colone this Weekend - wicked!)
play triplets decreasing in volume .... which means that you're faking echo. with practise this can send very good and like a real echo. guitar can do it drums can do it (especially the snare) .... bass? suppose it could
good site with good experimental and fresh music from europe and otherwise .... broadcasting on the net and on radio ever-expanding. maybe if we hassled them we could get some dub on air ... although i think there might already be some anyway check it out:
Howdy folks Just wondering if anyone has any idea where I might be able to find any good Dub wav files and loops for Acid. I love Dub and want to try and create some of my own! Thanks!
I'm looking for tips on how to build a tape echo box. I've picked up to old reel to reel machines to pull apart. So any info or tips would be appreciated. Tape echos work by looping a tape constantly while the machine plays and records what is being inputed. From there I need to know how to set up feedback and delay...i can't imagine pots for volume equalizer wet/dry slide should be too hard. Let me know if anyone has any tips. I want to warm my synths up and let their ghost talk in the space.
Find the Looper's Delight page cos they got a whole page on making your own tape delay out of old reel to reel players. Sorry I don't have the address. If you can't find the site email me and I will send you the actual page (I have it on my hard drive somewhere!).
I built my own tape delay out of a Revox A77 and an early BOSS digital delay. As the A77 features a possibility to mix two signals before recording them I do not need any additional mixer to mix in the feedback from the tape. The digital delay is set as a simple delay without internal feedback. It is simply plugged into the feedback loop and allows a longer and adjustable feedback time (time adjusting is not possible on the A77 alone as there are only two tape speeds to choose from) The BOSS delay also features a simple equalizer which helps to create interesting sounds. Combining these two devices I didn't have to build an additional play head as described at looper's delight (link above)
I am desperately trying to find Scientist the dub master! I have heard that he was working at a studio in Maryland for awhile and that he has recently relocated to the West Coast. If there is anyone who has info on how to contact him. please email me at: Any help would be much appreciated!
Try getting in touch with Neil Fraser (aka The Mad Proffessor) He lives in Lewisham in South East London I haven't got his number anymore but I know he has done some gigs with him recently.
Yeah Mon. Scientist work at Hound Sound Baltimore and he mix Dub Syndicate there. Then he move to West Coast and advertize inna de reggae review published outta New School San Francisco. i ear dat Scientist is the BEST!

i am a fellow dubbernaut who is suffering without some good sound fonts!
I am in desperate need of a good punchy reggae organ and other reggae style soundfonts... can anyone help me? any advice??? I have reality 1.5 and roland xp-10 one love alpharasta
Greetings I'Ve read your email today. there are many options to go for. Firstly are you recording via computer? Is the XP10 the only keyboard you've got? Are there any other instruments in your possession? Are you a musician? These questions need to be addressed then I could help you. Incidentally I am a serious dub warrior addict etc. with years of experience. Let me know your concerns so I can help you.
Why don't you look through your record/CD collection and find a clean sample. Stop taking the easy boring way out by using soundfonts someone else made.

Hello i'm looking for informations about Kitachi on the web...do you know where i could find it??
Hello Everyone ! and peace to all fans and artists of the dub. I am currently seeking your very own recorded dubstyle tracks for an International Shortwave Radio (and Internet) Broadcast. We are located in a very prime spot Saturday 10 pm -midnight EST and coverage will include North and South America+ the Carribean. I am also interested in interviews and I support independent artists wholeheartedly. Format for submissions should be either CD or DAT (cassettes as a last possible resort). Also I have advertising and sponsorship spots available at a VERY reasonable price. Please contact me at joedubstyle@yahoo.com for further information because I want to get you out there in the spacewaves!
I've been the sole continuous member of an expermental music project called Techniken Defunkus and have been producing Dub trax in addition to other styles of music. I'd love to send you a cd get your feedback on the music etc. I'm a big fan of Tubby Scratch Mad Prof. Prince Far I original Ska sounds and am finding that mmy sound is dub whether I plan it or not...
Also I just designed an article that is a COMPLETE article/discography of dub pioneer Prince Far I for the underground music magazine 50 Miles of Elbow Room. If you are interested in Far I and original inspirational mostly unknown improvizational music contact milesofelbow@hotmail.com the issues are $4 with postage in the US a real bargain...
You will need copious amount's of the following: Reverb (pref valve amp) echo/delay a big FAT spliff and endless amount's of imagination!!! Get rockin' bredrin' and good luck!
If you wanna start making Dub music you are definately going to need a mixing board and a bunch of effects like reverb and delay especially. The whole Dub science is based around the concept of the mixing desk\studio as an instrument anchored by the bass and the drums. On top of that you are going to need your sound sources whether they be from live instruments on a multi track device or from MIDI instruments like synthesizer samplers and drum machines. There is plenty of fine Dub made using both methods from the classic dubs of King Tubby Scientist and Prince Jammy to the modern digital styles of Jah Shaka The Disciples Jah Warrior and the Bush Chemists just to name a few.
Wow I just saw Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Mad Professor live at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Lee came out with a bicycle horn wearing an alien T-shirt with glitter all over him. I think he made up the whole concert in his head on the spot. He was saying stuff like "reggae jammin is a must Lee "scratch" Perry gonna turn vampires into ashes & dust." Anyway great show.
I have some classic reggae dub mp3's I just finished if anyone wants a sample. Also if you have anything you've done in the same style I'd like to check it out.
First of all my dream has come true.....a whole message board dedicated to talking about Dub wonderful!! I'm so happy!!!! Hopefully one of you lovely people can help me out. I've been looking for a track by Prince Far-I called (i think) "Bedward the flying Preacher" on C.D for ages. I've got the dub version performed by Dub Syndicate called "Pounding System" but i just can't find the vocal version anybody know where i can find it??
There is a compilation (CD) on the ON-U sound label based in England that has the vocal version. I do not remember the name of the compilation but it has a yellowish cover. I bought the comp. just for that song. it a go dread.
You'll also find it on Singers & Players - Staggering Heights.
Re: Bedward where are you?

I was at a reggae club a while back and the DJ played three versions of the Killer Miller track which was dubbed by Tubby on King tubby meets rockers uptown (I think the original is called 'Baby I love you so'). I have the version off King tubby meets rockers uptown and I have the original undubbed version. The third version I heard was somewhere inbetween the two as far as how much it was worked by tubby. Can anybody tell me which album I might be able to find this third version and also what album the original is off (I only have the original on tape). It would be much appreciated.
Check out the african dub series vols. 1 to 4 produced by Joe Gibbs. These are comp. into 2 vols. per CD. I do not remember what volume but bought CDs are worth purchasing
hey i just started listening to dub while i was in eastern europe this past summer (i'm in minneapolis right now) and i caught this german (i think) band called submission which was unf---ingbelievable but i can't find their stuff anywhere so if you can help that would be amazing and i will think of you always when i spin their tunes on my player.
there exist some 'real' dub bands in Germany and Austria like "The Vision" (been there for ages) "Di Iries" from Hamburg who after all released an album with "Alpha & Omega". From Vienna (?) come the "Sofa Surfers" - highly praised by the press. From Berlin are "Submission" coming with a first CD-EP. And finally there are the 'oldies' "Dub Invaders" who even toured with UB 40.

I am thinking about getting the Roland 505. I tried it out at the music store and it was tight. I just dont know if this is the right piece of equiptment to get. I am into dub but I also want to make hiip hop tracks and some punk reggae and funk. I am a guitarist and pretty much just need bass and drums and I think having the rest of the effects on there would be kool. I would love for someone to tell me what is good out there Roland land and maybee help me pick out something that would be good for me. I am dying to make music but I don't know a drummer or a descent bass player.
Hi dont buy the 505 yet! check out the quasimidi raveolution 309 its a lot better but it doesnt have those light controllers . go to www.quasimidi.com and www.eta.org/309 also of note are the korg electribes but youll need both! + the 309 is cheaper than the 505 and both korgs!

Scientist worked at a studio that I recorded at. He is the best! The studio was called Hound Sound in Baltimore MD USA. It was a great studio but got raided by "Babylons Army" (the cops). He is out here now in San Francisco at a new studio. Dub Syndicate's album "Mello and Colly' was mixed at Hound Sound they had some "killer" vintage tube preamps and compressors that once belonged to Led Zeppelin. The sound was pure analog nirvana.
