Dub can even be done with only one mono, or 2 stereo l/R tracks. Make sure you have a few effects like delay/reverb and a mixer where you can copy the l/R stereo coming frkm your daw or record player etc.. to another input channel witn an eq, wich can be send to an FX..Something like a aux output. When you copy your stereo l/R you can try to grab a freq out of the stereo L/R. Use the eq to filter out the low freqeuncys, and the ultra high ones, send this copy through an fx by aux or your fader (aux post fade). You now have created an extra channel by isolating specific freq. Repeat these steps this way you can use strereo masters and still be able to do a multitrack live dub. This is perfect when you want to dub vinyl records or cassetes....
I've been after this information for ages! I couldn't quite get my head around the in/outs. thank you.! would you consider showing how you make a template in your DAW with in/outs set as a template ? thanks for the great content
Heyhey, Thanks for the comment. We actually already prepared a video about how to setup a Dub Session - DAW, and Mixer...atm its in editing, i guess next month we start to dive into that topic a little more often
Forgot to say, that you guys can monitor your mixing either through the Headphones Out of your mixer, or alternatives like Group Outputs. (on small mixers)... Or monitor on the master fader and record on alternatives, if the mixer allows that routing.
great video thanks! As a side note, an alternative hybrid setup would be having an Audio Interface Mixer instead of Audio interface + mixer. That allows you to send audio from your DAW to mixer directly (without additional cables). In other words, can save some money on the audio interface, and invest it in some effects, while still having the advantages of an analog mixer, if I am not mistaken (trying to figure out things before buying stuff)
So I can use a, for example, Mackey Onyx Audio Interface/Mixer and use the physical sliders to control the sliders within the DAW? I think that would solve the problem of needing a large interface with 10 outputs AND a large mixer
it is very interesting maybe a pdf graphic showing the easy set up to a more complex could be helpful with minimum funds out lay for extra equipment as things stand. i'm just a crap home jammer and low fi hobbyist with bad GAS though the noise threshold is quite low but it's not hi fi and i'm lost somewhat that graphic would help a lot. thinking? i need to strip it all down and complete new and radical reset up. and if i could see where things fit within the system and those missing items that i did not know of or realise i needed it would be very helpful indeed
Video is great , nice explaining how you connect and start and all but I miss the core element of dub where you use mixer as delay device where you send delays return channel back to the delay, again so called aux feedback loop. Delay unit I ussually set to arround 300 ms short delay and by doing aux feedback loop extending the echo using mixers fader as you would feedback knob on the delay. There is where magic happens in dub. Anyway thanx for the video its good to send to friends that want to start dubbin.
good job, well explained. Will probably give it a try with a simple setup. Thanks! Also for folks without hardware I guess an easy try can be Caustic 3
@@SteppersDivision I mean I don't want to sound like promoting it but it works with midi controllers so it's a cheap alternative since anyone can have android phone under 100$. I have used it to jam with Akai mpk2 and you can have this exact setup you are showing, no joke - map the pads to mute/unmute the channels and map the faders to the effect knobs... Thanks again for the detailed explanation!
@@findingsolutions198 you need adapter from usb to usb C (otg cable). They go for around a dollar where I am from - just google OTG. Also in Caustic make sure to enable MIDI from the settings. I hope this helps!
hey thanks for this video. Question, if i have a 10 output interface, would i have to sacrifice 2 outputs for studio monitors? or can i use a separate interface for the studio monitors? any help would be great, from anyone, im using ableton.
hey there, thanks for the comment! You can use the mixer headphone output for monitoring and the mixer L-R output to send it to some sort of PA, or studio monitors
@@austinll89 our pleasure! yes please, very curious to see your setup. btw we got some other dub tutorials on our channel, for sure u can find some useful information bless
hey there, thanks for the comment! there is actually a little video series on our channel where we explain the settings in more detail.. the first video is called 'Dub Mixing Tutorial [DAW Settings]' cheers
Thank You Jack for the comment! Not really - i maybe noticed that reverb, or delay makes the bass muddy - but a phaser for example works great with bass.. so basically there's no limit, trust me - dub mixing is always so much fun 😁
So this is how dubstep came from. Over the years dubstep starts to ad so many effects and heavily proceesed the synth sound or bass to make something robotic or deep
I'm glad, that you asked, because I got no idea to be honest😅... need to do some research first. For me it's always a feeling thing on analog units. Usually I turn the knobs until it's in the feeling of the song and time match in a pattern
@@SteppersDivision I have heard of different milli/seconds set on delays. One was 250 and the other was 300. Somewhere in that range. I just wanted to confirm was that the standard for King Tubby's sound. Now as far as Echoes and Digital Delays, Roland made the RE-201, Space Echo (which are getting harder to find). Then they came out with the Boss Space Echo RE-20. A few others are out there, Echosystem Dual Engine Delay, and the Beni Dub Digital Echo. Would you recommend any others?
@@rivercidal yes the RE-20 is meanwhile a standard effect in Dub Stations. But its also quite big - a 2 pedal unit takes more space.. Small pedals are easier to carry around for live shows. On the other hand, bigger rack units got more settings... I recommend to try out different units and experiment around. And also to decide early on, if u want to play Dub in a studio setup, or live... Or both... In general every delay with a tap tempo ability will do a great job. But even a small pedal can create Dub Magic
Love the video! I know nothing about analog stuff and that sure helped a shitload. I musst admit though, a little bit more "in depth" video would make my life easier getting started. Now i that understand the principle, i just feel lost on how to setup the whole thing, which cable goes where, etc... know of any ressources for that? Im so hooked on reggae and dub, cant wait to get started😍 Thabks for the awesome video, you won yourself a subscriber✌
Heyhey, Thanks for the comment - very appreciate! We are actually working on a intense '4 parts Dub Tutorial' right now. We gonna talk about how to setup the DAW projects, how to setup the mixer and so on.. The release of those 4 videos is scheduled for June. So stay tuned, there are some interesting topics coming up soon. Blessings
how can i do it with out computer, is there a stand alone interface , or multitrack in order to conect it to the mixer? i know alllen and heath had one, but they no longer sell it.....
@@SteppersDivision no, all mutitracks players are discontinued, allen & heath had one, cimatic audio, they work without computer... but now i can´t but it
its a small interface, so i guess its not gonna have enough outputs. are u trying to make it the midi way? in that case u should be able to link your DAW to the akai digital outputs
Steppers Division I just mix dub loops , I know the basic , my setup is Scarlett solo , fluid audio f5 , midi mix akai usb and a MacBook , cheapest but decent audio quality
hey mate, thanks for the comment. im not 100% sure if combined mixers gonna make the job the same way. i think you need to research that first before buying stuff.. and also it can be quite useful to have the mixer and the interface separate, it depends on how u wanna use it
Thanks mate! Unfortunately i dont know about any website which is doing that. Sometimes u get lucky and u can buy construction sample packs. Or u can just loop sounds from Splice or similar websites. Still the best way is to record everything :D ... But thanks for the input! - You gave us the idea to open a online shop offering Steppers Division Dub Samples and Stems. We will try to cut our next release to a sample pack :D :D
So you really don't need a reamp box to send the signal through the guitar pedals? Is there any noticeable difference in sound? I saw somewhere that most Boss pedals and a lot of others do the trick on bypass mode anyway. Thanks again!
tbh, I didn´t know before about reamping for the dub setup. U made me curious, so i made some research and this is what i've learned: There is a impedance difference. So some pedals will send out signals which are just not strong enough - in that case u have to use a reamp box before fx to match the impedance. When the signal is strong enough - it will work, because u still got a gain knob on your AUX Return Channel - that´s what happened in my case. So I would say - it depends on the Pedal? Is that an possible answer? - And of course stepping back to the correct impedance will create a much bigger sound and u can use the pedals to the fullest. Still, as long as it works in some way, dub mixing will be fun anyway :D even if there is a sound difference.. btw thanks for your hint! I learned a lot of stuff through this and i think the next dub mixes will be better, because of this. appreciate!
Impedance wise...Rule of thumb is 1:10 ratio. So to drive a 47K fx unit u need to send like 5K into it. Most mixer aux sends are between 50 and a 100 ohms. But im not to shure about "bridged" outputs. So im gonna do some test soon and build some reamp boxes with diff resisors. But for me the most important thing is that a reamp box coverts a balanced aux out +4db (line level) to a unbalanced (-20db/100K-ish )instrument level. My Boss fx are 1M input so a perfect match 😉 With a DI box and ground lift enabled after the fx to convert the unbalanced signal back to balanced You should have more headroom.
hey there, thanks for the comment.. u either have the song split into stems already (using a own production for example), or u can also buy dub stems online. Check out maybe Roots Makers Dub Stems
Hey Will, whats up? I think every mixer will work out - in some way. Almost all mixers (even the small ones) got AUX sends. When they are only PRE, it's just going to be another dub technique. The Post Fader Technique is just one of maaaany ways how u can make dub. On bigger mixers u can usually choose between Pre or Post. Smaller ones are usually set on PRE as default (stage monitoring standard). Sometimes they got a FX Send which is Post. For example the Behringer Xenyx. You don´t have to try, you can tell what the mixers doing, by looking closer on the Kobs - there´s always some sort of tiny letters which describe the function. Anyway, the whole idea of Dub is to get crazy with effects, trust me, it's gonna be fun, no matter how u set it up :D
@@SteppersDivision Ok so you also have a live recording studio set-up where you record musicians that you know and then take these stems to the dub-set-up studio? makes sense :-) what would you recommend for people like me with a limited set-up and not great musician friends? =) I do some dub techniques with aux send to my space echo, or sometimes I record the whole fx send track and then later cut it in my daw, but it looks like so much fun to do the all track dub style mixes :-)
yes, we are a live band, with a own studio, recording our own stuff, and also networking with other musicians, and during those covid times we decided to make those videos. we would recommend to keep on making music :D we also using the same or similar techniques you described, in several areas. you can make a hybrid setup with some crazy plugins before sending it out from the DAW, or maybe go for a analog fx chain, like delay-filter-space echo, or delay-phaser-reverb, or maybe trying out some multi effect units. it doesnt even have to be expensive for the stems u can either use some stock samples/construction kits/sample packs, from websites like loopmasters, or splice, or similar, u can check out DM Kahn yt channel, and his website for dub stems, we are also working on a online shop, fiverr musicians is a option, theres lot to choose from
There is an impedance difference when using pedals and line ins and outs. It will make a sound but not sound to its full potential. That is basic engineering 101. However, you can easily combat that but re amping. But you don't need a reamp box to do so. Electrical engineering 101 here. A transformer flows both ways. So take a passive DI box (only works with passive DIs) and hook it up in reverse. Now you have a reamp box.
Hey, thanks for the comment. I think it was just easier to draw.. In this video we were sending out 10 stems to the mixer. ..and the outputs 1-2 on the scarlett are set to 'DAW Playback 1-2'

Use group outs to send to an fx per channel you can quickly tab a button to send the signal to an fx and save up your auxillarys
It works kind of the same as an aux in post fader. I find it easier to tap a button and work with a fader.

for the stems u can either use some stock samples/construction kits/sample packs, from websites like loopmasters, or splice, or similar,
u can check out DM Kahn yt channel, and his website for dub stems, we are also working on a online shop,
fiverr musicians is a option,
theres lot to choose from
@@SteppersDivision makes sense thanks for the pointers!
There is an impedance difference when using pedals and line ins and outs. It will make a sound but not sound to its full potential. That is basic engineering 101.
However, you can easily combat that but re amping. But you don't need a reamp box to do so. Electrical engineering 101 here. A transformer flows both ways. So take a passive DI box (only works with passive DIs) and hook it up in reverse. Now you have a reamp box.
thanks for the comment,
ill try out!
👍👍👍👍👍
🙌🙌
nice : but the main problem is to own separate tracks from a song....
Get your own recordings
Aint nobody got time for that 😅😂🙏❤️
come on it`s just 5 minutes :D
You said if we have 2 channels or less on our interface it won't work but You only used 2 channels on the chart
Hey, thanks for the comment. I think it was just easier to draw.. In this video we were sending out 10 stems to the mixer.
..and the outputs 1-2 on the scarlett are set to 'DAW Playback 1-2'
*Sees video title -*
"Learn Dub Mixing in 5 Minutes"
*Sees video length -* 5 : 07
... 🤔 Hhmmm...
😅
@@SteppersDivision 😂
This looks complicated asf
its not so complicated as you might think👊
@@SteppersDivision could you give me the brand name and model of the dub mixing equipment you used?
Your accent is not helping, but thanks
