Dark Digi Dub 02. I threw this together last night. It's spooked out Dub with samples and cut ups of some secret recordings I did in a public space.

Lots of echos, verbs and nasty synths. Sounds nicely analogue due to some secret sauce I've concocted.

The slowest track I've ever done. I wonder if I can get slower?

i like the vibe and elements you have...sweet mang!

It sounds like you put a slow tape saturation emulation on it? Is that your special concacktion!?

yeah Boo, nice... I'm working on a bit of dub meself as it goes with a flautist, nice track!... I'm very fussy about me dub & reggea and your's has got all the authentic qualities of someone who knows the genre... only criticism would be i'm not so keen on the dry snare sound , it's a bit flat, thin and weedy sounding. I'd layer it with some rimshot or something cos it's a bit flat... it's got some sort of phasey-ness to it which is removing it's snappi-ness and body. Nice wobbly bass btw

Thanks SDUB! I'm really trying to get the vibe right. Spooky, dark, dubby. The secret sauce is
a
secret mix technique I'm developing. Shhhhh.



Thanks!


Hey K,

Yeah, I was brought up with dub. My Dad is absolutely mad on the stuff. I grew with him playing
LSP and King Tubby, so I guess it rubbed off a little bit.

If I try and make straight stuff, it just sounds odd because I'm not using real instruments, so I
thought I'd go for the weirder route and fuse it with secret recordings and cheap nasty synths,
TG style. Almost Dark drum 'n' bass sounds.

I see what you mean about the snare. It's very light. I think I was going for a contrast beween
it and the big echo + spring effect. Maybe too much contrast. I'll try pairing it with something
with more bite like you say.

Heh, wobbly bass. I'm pretty happy with it. It's simple, but works ok.  

I think I'm going to slowly evolve the background ambience into something a little more sinister,
too. Slowly lower the track into a nasty place.

Thanks for the comments!

Hey, that's nice. Smooth. I'm liking the flute in there. Cool, dreamy stuff. What's the rhythm
part? A clavinet?

hey K this track is pretty killer,,but can you do me a solid...when you guys finalize the track make sure those 'dub' hits are more pronunced ....do some that are subtle like you had and also some that are absolutly raped...i really hear that in the track sometimes...

that was odd, the actual automation was in the right position to raise the send just before the snare hit, but it was randomly playing the automation late on those snare & keyboard 'blips' to the delay... possibly it was the e-mu cos i never had that issue with other soundcard & logic. usualy the automation is tight
