Just purchased the Stems Pack!! Great work DM Kahn!! So many useful reference points in there. Just being able to hear what your piano track sounds like underneath the guitars was very informative. Lots of stuff to learn from... and I am working on that project I told you about and have been feeling concerned about my ability to get the mixes sounding ideal. This is going to help!

[@DMKahn]

Respect bro, thank you for your support and for the time you’ve spent here with me.🙏

King Tubby was known for using a multi-step bandpass filter knob on his MCI mixer when doing his Dub Mixes, the bandpass filter gave a unique sound to his mixes.

[@afk_hesh]

This might be a dumb question but at what point in the fx chain/routing did he put it? I'm assuming it varies some but didn't know if there was a consistent technique

Kahn you are a legend! I grew up with reggae and I'm really into all the old roots stuff. I'm learning to record and mix Reggae through the tracks I record with my bandmates and to find your videos was a blessing. Since I watch your videos I'm learning so much about the sound of the old bands and I wish I could share with you , the appreciation I have for your channel. thank you so much for your effort and please keep on doing it. to see someone sharing his knowledge about the old sound of reggae wich is about to die, just warms my heart and fills me with joy and inspiration. kind regards Joel from Breakfast Mood

[@DMKahn]

Respect Joel, I appreciate your words very much. Good luck on your musical journey🤙

[@Big_Old_Bondy]

For anyone wanting to get the Akai Midimix featured at the end of the video, you need to upgrade the pots to taller ones as the stock pots are quite small and are hard to use for dubbing.

[@klaytonvonkluge4905]

Not many ppl out there doin this Dub stuff proper, like this, BRAVO , DM Kahn 🙏🤘💪✌🏼😎

@@DMKahn Towards the end of vid when you applied phasing to the bass was it also running through reverb? Sounded great

Yes so the phaser return had copious amounts of reverb, because it helps you hear the phaser better.

What a great tutorial! Never done a dub mix before now. I dusted off an old ska type song recorded on 4 track cassette with my old high school band back in the 80s and "voila" i'm dubbing on my tascam model 12 thanks to all these amazing tips and techniques you shared! Spot on with so many little details that gave great results in one session. Thanks dub master khan!!

[@DMKahn]

Amazing, thanks for sharing!!

[@elvishpaisley]

Thanks, great video! I have never bought stems from anyone, but I just bought your pack. I'm pretty dedicated to recording my own, but you make a good point about having raw and cooked versions to practice mixing and dubbing with. Been working on my own dub mixer in Ableton with some controllers and external effects, so should be interesting to experiment with...

[@yossi_mulla]

Dub.......Wise.......🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DMKahn]

[@butcha242]

Whoa... much respect to you for putting out this tutorial sir. I am from the Bahamas, just miles away from Jamaica and during the hey-dey of dubs on records, reggae was essentially banned by our government because of the "negative" connection to Rastafarian Culture. So those records released by Joe Gibbs and the Professionals which almost always had a wicked dub version on the 12" release were practically contraband. I am a DJ and producer so to have someone break down how those magical sounds were produced has been a pure blessing. Salute to you sir and thank you for your vibes. I will purchase the stems pack for sure.

[@DMKahn]

Respect man thank you for commenting. I cannot imagine being in your shoes, having to keep your reggae music a secret! It’s my pleasure to share what little knowledge I know with you all. May God bless you brother

I got your Dub Stems Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 just recently. First I struggled a bit with my set up, 'cause I have no experience with DAW and Audio interfaces. But as I figured that out, I have to say: THAT IS A LOT OF FUN!!! I think I also will go for the Roots Makers Stems. Perfect quality for getting into this stuff.

[@DMKahn]

Thank you for this comment. I shared it on a story on Instagram. I really appreciate your positive feedback and I am thankful you had FUN with the stems. God bless you.

[@patkelly8309]

I like how you mention the FUN of dubbing. Sometimes when I get caught up in the technical aspects of the mix I forget it's supposed a joyful experience. Bless up

[@DMKahn]

So true. Sometimes when I feel like I’m not having fun, I try to remind myself.. take a break… then get back to it! The truth is we are privileged to have such awesome tech to make dub that the originators didn’t have! So let’s have fun with the tools we do have!

[@PSILOCYBINISTHEWAY]

Subbed because of filtah

[@dennischin6581]

Mutes are best done with the relay type mutes like on SSL or even MCI/Sony consoles. They are much faster. For the mute buttons you have you have to do it through MIDI if your board supports it (but it's not live). Running the faders is the old school way which wore out a lot of consoles in the day. Good job bro!!! Bless.

[@BONGOGO100]

How do you manage to get your drums to sound so fat and tight ??

[@DMKahn]

A lot of experience mixing. EQ, very light compression, and probably most importantly saturation. It’s a never ending struggle to get the sound in my head!
