Title says it all, really!

I got my Soundcraft 600 working, and have been meaning to do some dub mixes on it for ages. Real spring reverb, real tape echo... and a B4000 for organ!

Hope you enjoy it,

Chris

Love it!

Only remark is i have some issues with the drum compression. I'd personally do something about the "noise", but again, thats just me

Keep Grooving!

Nice jingle. Love the name too.
Cheers.

Very Regaedelic...I might be the first guy to ever use that word... .I agree on the kick drum though...just a little fuzzy, but if that was the goal...so be it, all n all..very cool.....

Thanks all!

I was blatantly going for an Augustus Pablo vibe with that one, so the drums are kind of intenionally noisy - I could probably have taken it a bit easier on the compression, but listening to some proper Studio One dub just now, the levels are all over the place there too; probably a mixture of compression and slamming the tape really hard.

I might do some G-funk 'versions' now - I'm thinking 'Nothin' But A G Thang' or something, as there are some synth lines there that could work well on a melodica... I'll chuck it up here when I've got something worth listening to.

Thanks again!

Chris

Heya,

I know this is a little late, but nice one! You did a good job recreating Pablo's sound.
But if I may suggest doubling up your drums sounds with low-res drum hits mixed in just enough (usually around 20 to 30 percent the main drum hit's volume) to put a little grit into the your existing drums. It works well for me in Dub/Jungle/Dubstep material.

I've just returned to the forum but will post some new material soon.

Cheers!
