Hey there, thanks for the comment❤ Of course, our pleasure! Btw, there are some other Dub Tutorials on our channel, maybe you can find more useful information

hey there, thanks for the comment! feel free to check out our other videos as well

@@SteppersDivision would you recommend this mixer?

nah not really, there are way better devices on the market already this is a very old mixer i bought 4th hand probably, haha

Thank you! Cheers!

heyhey, thanks for the comment, very much appreciate! btw, we dropping a new (live) video tomorrow, stay tuned dada, bless up

🙌🙌🙌

Thanks 🔥🔥

🤘

thanks for the comment and thanks for the support! bless

I also dub with behinger. If you like it you can check it on my channel

haha😅

@@SteppersDivision You know what's crazy?? I would have never imagined they'd go into making synthesizers, especially remakes of classic synths! 🔮

dude! they making great stuff nowadays. Im aslo very impressed by Behringer lately

hey, thanks for the comment, in this video im using a Flashback mini from TC. but theres no lack of good delays out there, u can get creative. btw, the dub stems used in this video are from the Roots Makers , its not our original music. check out, Roots Makers and DM Kahn, those guys are great

hey there, thanks for the comment.. u can record the aux output from the mixer maybe?

@@SteppersDivision Thanks, I'll try that.

Hey there, thanks for the comment and for your question. Yes true, we been not using a reamp box... Obviously the pedals are not getting the necessery signal in order to operate to the fullest, but it was working very good for this demonstration.

@@SteppersDivision Thanks for the answer. This question of reamp is a big problem for me because I want to get out of the Box, but if I need 6 Reamp Bax, 160 euros per unit, for 6 different chanel it will be Very expensive ! Do you know any cheaper solution ?

Hey there, thanks for the comment and for your question! Sooo sorry for our late response, your comment got lost in the traffic😅 so for the feed into input 1&2 we used 2 standard stereo patch cables, but the recording itself was a L-R mono link in order to match the L-R input volume. It should work out the same way if you would use mono cables, or even if you record input 1 and 2 on seperate mono channels. Just need to make sure that u match the input volumes, otherwise your recording could end up slightly louder on one side

hey, thanks for the comment, appreciate! in this case the whole song were just 6 stems, so i could use channel 7-8 for the fx returns. if the song would have more stems i would have probably used the spare inputs, but the disadvantage is that u cant control the gains.. on a bigger mixer it wouldnt be a problem at all. the idea is to have the fx return on a fader, so u can adjust the volume and eq in your mix. but as i always reply to the comments and questions: Dub is always fun and it's everything about trying out. have a nice day!

@@SteppersDivision appreciate the response! It makes sense. I’m now on the market for an analog mixer!

Thanks for the comment! i actually started dubbing with plugins and a fader controller, which was the 'Icon Platform M+' aaaand i personally did not like the workflow so much... FOR DUB.. First i could send AUX only from my interface outputs via routing plugins.. (in Logic you got the 'I/O Utility') which means that working with outboard gear was always kinda tricky to setup,, required lots of mapping, and i ended up using more plugins instead, because it was more handy. And second, i could always access only one midi path per channel on the Icon.. (select channel, do the fx, select another channel again, and so on) I couldnt for example make 2 different effects on 2 channels simultaneosly (Split second delay on the snare while turning reverb up on the guitar for example, etc.).... for writing automations, producing, and similar, are faderports awesome. But interactive live performance is different, and analog equipment felt always more natural and more fun.. Besides im not using so much midi controllers anyway, so probably not the right person to ask 😅 On a analog mixer each knob works at the same time and you got dem right under your fingertips. So you can send several chanells to several effects, all at once if you wish so.. Group sends to different effects, EQ, Inserts, Monitoring and so on... And especially you see your settings on the controller, right away. You dont have to look to your DAW, back to the mixer, back to the DAW and so on.. so you eliminate this back and forth kinda thing, which is better for performing. -but those are just my experiences, probably i just made something wrong in my hybrid setup, the Livid Ds1 seems to have the ability controlling more midi per channel.. im pretty sure there are solutions out there. Guess its just about mapping and trying out. -btw using guitar pedals is better with a reamp box Hope it was helpful, if you got any questions, dont hesitate to ask! And im also recommending DM Kahn's RU-vid channel, he does very good Tutorials.

Great setup. I'm moving a lot and I'm doing something more flexible. I'm not sure what you mean by more midi per channel. I'm using ableton live and launch Contol xl. I have 2 or 3 sends per channel, usually reverb delay and phaser. I am trying to use my guitar pedals but I will need an audio interface with more out. Atm I have the scarlett 2i2.

Really you have to record each part of the drum kit on seperate channels. If you only have a recording or sample of the whole kit being played, you can copy it into three or four channels in your DAW and then use the EQ to cut the frequencies you don't want on each one.

exactly

heyhey, thanks for the comment. There are several places online where you can download stems, just google 'dub stems download', i think you will find something👍

Hey there, thanks for the question, very appreciate! there are several ways to do it with even a small analog mixer, the idea is that you got enough outputs from your interface to run more channels. There is also another option, some mixers got build in interfaces best regards from Berlin

Hi, how can it be done with a mixer with a build in interface? (Like a behringer x1222).

tbh, im not really sure,, but there were several people commenting on the videos saying that it should be possible.. but i literally never had one of these hybrid mixers in my hands

Hey there, thanks for the comment! Unfortunately we dont got experiences with hybrid mixers, i hope it worked out? would be very curious, would love to hear how it went!

Without the Focusrite or similar, you'll only be able to send the Master channel of your DAW to the hardware mixer. But you could do all of the above in a DAW with something like the Novation Launch Control XL for hands-on fun

Hey there, thanks for the question. It was a sample from Splice i used. Usually the sires are made by so called 'Dub Sirens', these are little devices just for that

Thanks for the answer

@@solnova7928 our pleasure

Hey there, thanks for the comment. It was a song from 'Roots Makers', i just made a dub mix from on of their Dub Packs

with analog gear it won't clip in the same way as digital, I imagine you can slam the faders all the way if you wanted to, it'd drive the preamps more which could be a nice sound depending on the board. ultimately experiment and see what sounds good, start with just drums or another single track and try to find a sweet spot. then try the other tracks. it could be different for each!

@@scrummyvision exactly, explained very well!

@@SteppersDivision thanks!

hey there, thanks for the comment. Aux 1: envelope filter ->delay ->reverb Aux 2: multi effect ->phaser

Hey there, thanks for the comment. You mean the stems? In this case each instrument was separate. Logic usually doesn't cut. The are some opportunities online to download Dub Stems, Check out Roots Makers

@@SteppersDivision thank you for your answer, I meant on logic pro, how to import music already made, bob marley or other? are the tracks detailed? Thanks in advance

hey there, thanks for the comment. we recorded the output from the analog mixer in logic. Simply connect the mixer L-R outputs and interface inputs 1-2.. you can find a detailed dub mixing tutorial on our channel, where we explain the secrets of the analog setup. It's called "Learn Dub Mixing in 5 Minutes", maybe you can find some interesting information over there. bless

hey there, thanks for the comment! -your question is actually explained in detail in another video we made, its called 'Learn Dub Mixing in 5 minutes' -u can find it on our channel

@@SteppersDivision Thanks😁

hey there, thanks for the question! yes, its played from the computer... - btw, we got some more videos on our channel explaining the dub setup in more detail, maybe u will find some useful information

hey there, thanks for the question. you can dub with just a small 2output interface actually. or at least check out some techniques on the L-R out and record back. experimenting is always good👍

heyhey, thanks for the comment. yea, thats the thing. my solution for live playing was one logic project with several songs next to each other.. sometimes touching, sometimes crossfading instruments when the bpm match. you can get crative there try to imagine it as one big song, or one big set... for the transitions i used either samples, or some dub sirens, or other toys, this is just one option to do it, im pretty sure there are some solutions to make a hybrid setup, or let it feel more like a dj cosole kinda workflow. maybe combined with a looper? or maybe somebody from the community knows more? what do you guys think?

@@SteppersDivision logic now has a live loop features broken into cells similar to Ableton live that I've been curious about but have never given a shot

heyhey, thanks for the comment, do you maybe got some questions?

heyhey, unfortunately not, but there are some providers online.. Roots Makers for example are selling dub stems online

Hey there thanks for the comment. Yea, DUB Mixes are a reggae thing. It's basically a remix of a song with stems and effects.. There are big names in the Dub game like Pablo Baldini, or Mad Professor, those guys are fire. btw there are some more dub tutorials on our channel, you can check out some derails there best regards from berlin

@@SteppersDivisionthanks for thé reply,how do you get stems for all of these songs?

hey there, thanks for the comment.. yes, why not? its gonna be a small setup, but i think its gonna be fun anyway

hey there, thanks for the question -its a old behringer mixer which was laying around. would rather go for something newer in your case

hey there, thanks for the question. you actually need stems of the instruments. you can either record on your own, or download some stem packs online but for trying out you can run a full song thru aux and have fun as well :D btw, you can find some more detailed dub tutorials on our channel bless up

..just realized, there are some programs out there which can separate stems, but i dont got enough informations about. i think its based on eq-ing out each frequencies..

I am making my first ever dub recording. I am only doing it for fun, so I used an android app called Moises. It only separates vocal, bass and 2 other channels , however. Then I used a virtual DJ app called Disc DJ to apply the very basic effects. Then I looped the drum intro from the track. Then I used an app called VoxBox to put it all together. It's the nearest thing to Soundforge and Acid PC programs that I've seen on Android. But it actually sounds awesome. Notice I put "dub" not dub reggae. That's because the original track I'm using is by Blink 182.

BTW my inspiration was "Wilmot" by Sabres Of Paradise. My only real exposure to dub is from some Manasseh tapes from 90s

@@themanfromvolantis manasa.. I used to listen deeply every sat night after race. 92.

hey there, thanks for the comment! yes, basically it works that way. if u are interested, we got a tutorial on our youtube channel called 'Learn Dub in 5 Minutes', there are all the basic mechanics in detail explained greetings from Berlin

@@SteppersDivision thank you very much Master 🙏🏼

hey there, thanks for the comment! difficult to say actually, because there are toooooo many products out there😅 we actually started dubbing with messing around on a mapped midi controller.. u can basically use a software before buying any equipment, prepare the projects first and so on

hey there, thanks for the comment. there are no latency issues, because i monitor straight from the mixer. i guess there is a latency while recording back to the daw, but its not relevant while performing. at least not for me

@@SteppersDivision 👍 sweet, that makes sense now that i think about it. Dub it!

Hey there, its a song from the Roots Makers called Make Them Feel It, they are selling Dub Stems, so i just made a Dub Remix

Hey there, thanks for the comment. Yea, this is just a super quick video, not explaining too much. But we got several Dub Tutorial Videos on our channel, where we explain in detail the theory, daw settings, how to plug everything and stuff.. Search for for a video called 'Learn Dub Mixing in 5 minutes' and let us know what u think 👍

Thanks! : ) @@SteppersDivision

This is how to make Dub, easy Version!

hey there, thanks for the comment. yes, we were not explaining it in this video, there are another videos on our channel explaining the topic in more detail... this video is just a quick one
