A masterclass from 'Dub Master Khan' Nice information on your workflow. Big up.🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇬🇧

Respect Allen :)

[@allen394]

DM Kahn With regards to you sending $ to the great Jamaican musicians, the respect is all yours. Anyone who knows anything about the history of reggae, will know that the early artists and songwriters were often paid no royalties for their work. We can't change the past but we can show (those that are still with us) the respect that the are due.❤️

[@JahServant]

Great video man, thanks for sharing the whole process. I just picked up the stems, gonna check them out now, bless up!

[@DMKahn]

Your version is so good bro, thanks for making that!!

[@JahServant]

Just having fun, so nice to have quality stems to work with. Don’t stop now lol! It’s great to dub a song I’ve loved all these years, thanks for your works!!

[@evanmatthiesen7478]

wow, thats VERY close to the original. Good job!

Thank you and respect 🙏

Can you please make a video touring your studio and gear? I love your channel and would love to know how you set up your studio!

[@DMKahn]

I am moving, I just packed up and am beginning a new studio build. I’m definitely going to show how I set things up in the new studio! God Bless you man

[@serendipia5685]

sound great awesome recreation of old reggae thing

[@familytreemusic]

Very interesting mixing process and although at first it may seem over-processed compared to the much simpler way roots reggae was mixed back in the days, at the end the sonic results speaks for itself and that is all that matters. Great job brethren, big up yourself!

[@DMKahn]

I appreciate that. It’s a lot harder nowadays to get that sound because back in those days the equipment they had very much dictated the sound whereas in the box it’s so clean. They ran thru transformers of the console and through tape multiple passes, then to the mastering desk (more transformers) and ultimately to vinyl. So it’s actually comparable to the amount of plugins I’m using here! Bless up

[@YellowWalkman]

Cool watching you work!

[@DMKahn]

Thanks for the visit

Great info, lets keep in touch!

Bless up and respect for the teachings Kahn. Each one teach one ! iv even made notes ! i saw in another video of yours that you were selling drum samples, are they still online somewhere. just purchased the stems - love that you are sending the money to Freddie and Flabba. Keep on dubbing -Alliance Sound System !

[@organiks]

Wonderful work !! 🔊🔥

[@DMKahn]

Thanks my brother !!! 🎹

[@unclehertz1768]

The diff between gates and expander is simple ....The gates open at a certain threshold and lower the volumes below that threshold while expanding raise the volume at a certain threshold. .. all with attack/ release /etc... you don't have to cut 100 percent all the time. most gates have the option of the amount of db's you wanna gate. Always good video from Dm Kahn.

[@DMKahn]

Great explanation, way better than my fumbling words haha! Maybe I should prep more. Then again, that’s not my style haha, from the heart!

Great works 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤💛💚

[@sayantheguitarfreak]

Great mix! Just wanted to know why you did not use your Sound Skulptor TS500?

[@DMKahn]

I wanted to keep it more in the box so people that don’t have a particular hardware gear wouldnt be excluded

Bunny’s rock n groove LP made me a radics fan.

[@DMKahn]

[@KulchaRootzProductions]

Awesome 👏🙌🏿

[@DMKahn]

Thanks brother

[@stevemiller5214]

What if you add a Bubble Organ to the mix, it would really make it a truely unique version of big ship

[@MorilloMusic]

Hey man! I have a question about your drum recording levels. Do you set your input levels so that all mics match? Like, your snare top and bottom input levels match? Hope this question makes sense. Thank you!

[@DMKahn]

Typically I have the snare top the loudest and then snare bottom a bit lower. Hope that helps! Kick is a little lower than snare top, hi hat is considerably quieter because of its high frequency content is louder in comparison

[@MorilloMusic]

You’re referring to your actual tracking level? Not mixing level... thanks man!

[@DMKahn]

Actually both. But while tracking there’s nothing wrong with having them the same level. As long as it’s a clean signal you’re good

[@MorilloMusic]

Awesome thanks so much

[@chazroxproductions]

I was about to say this shit sound real af lol

[@mksybr]

Link broke. Love the content

[@patkelly8309]

Obviously you wouldn't want to do it here but have you ever tried talking into a guiro as you scrape. some have a closed bottom, some don't. Can make for an interesting effect.

[@DMKahn]

Haven’t tried that! Thanks for the idea

[@indidub479]

@@DMKahn 🤘👊🏽we have all our favorite plugs👊🏽🤘

[@nzreggae2534]

Well done. We can avoid copyright and compare to the original outside of KZbin. Now set all those plug ins in stone and just play in more original rhythms.

[@DMKahn]

Yeah, I rarely do covers… I mostly do originals. I also don’t set my settings in stone. It’s better practice to try to recreate this sound every time . However if I were doing an album I would probably set it and forget it for sake of continuity!

[@nzreggae2534]

Recreating songs teaches the chords and patterns but also the production/mixing techniques. We need to let you loose in a studio with a tape machine and analogue hardware. I want to do the same thing as you but utilise analogue hardware for mixing. Maybe an upright piano is in your future. For some reason I am intellectually averse to using plug ins. As if it is a fake mathematical degradation and compromise. Causing a build up of faux warmth. It was good to hear the bass drum and kit end up sounding more solid. When you were EQ'ing everything in fine detail I couldn't help but think that Scientist may have left more of the sound in instead of filtering out everything making it super clean. I do remember reading that he claims to have never used compressors. I think he called them a volume turner downerer. But of course tape can compress instead. Next try to emulate rough kick and snare like fussin' and fighting by Tristan Palmer or Bing Bunny - Me and Jane. @@DMKahn

[@ACOMPA]

Hi how set vocal lead slap delay ? Thanks

[@DMKahn]

Try 130ms as a starting point

[@jumpinggerard]

Another great FREE lesson! I hope to ditch FL Studio one day and be as great as you. Greetings from Steenkoud (your friend on Soundcloud)

Long time Steenkoud! Maximum respect 🙌

[@juancruzdelvalle2392]

Men, listen Los Cafres, an argentinian reggae band, this sound its like this, classic reggae roots

[@YOURROOM47]

So amazing. Would you ever be down to listen to one of my songs and let me know how the mix sounds?

[@Skiroy]

Why didnt leave the OHs at unity and turn down the OH Aux vs Vice Versa?

[@DMKahn]

You could do both. I haven’t watched the vid in awhile. Coulda been two reasons, first most likely is the gain staging into the plug-in’s preamp section. The second is, well, maybe I could have because it would have been the exact same thing.

[@OsirisXY]

You often contrast reggae with rock, particularly in the context of rhythm. It would be interesting to see/hear you discuss and demonstrate what a standard rock rhythm would sound like in an otherwise reggae-composed song.

[@DMKahn]

The main difference is that the kick and snare on a rock song typically would be twice as fast and opposite as the slower reggae feel. It’s a good idea for a video, thanks for the suggestion!

[@patkelly8309]

I was always taught that any master bus processing should be used fully wet yet you're using compression at 20 something %? Have I been doing it wrong all these years???

[@DMKahn]

Many ways to skin a cat. How’s it sound?

[@patkelly8309]

@@DMKahn I guess that's the only question that matters really.

hey ! I would like grab the stems but the link is no longuer available !

[@DMKahn]

Yeah I’m not selling the stems to Big Ship anymore. That was for a limited time as the monies went to Flabba and Freddie. It would be too difficult to track the monies given the fact I sell other stems of original music so I decided to stop selling them after the sales trickled out. Bless

What type midi you have?

Sorry can you rephrase the question? I don’t understand. Do you mean what piano sounds? Or what midi keyboard am I using?

That thing you’re using to play your sounds.The hard ware in front of your computer.

It’s an analog mixer with FireWire I/O. I mostly use it for recording and dubbing. It’s also my interface. It’s the Midas F24, a dying breed haha
