Dub Mixing Techniques (Scientist, Prince Fatty) | You Suck at Mixing #10

Hi, I'm Underbelly, and You Suck at Mixing. In today's lesson, we're gonna learn how to use Ableton's Echo effect to create our own Dub mix. This technique was pioneered by Scientist, a Jamaican recording artist and engineer who I saw show off this technique at the Ableton Loop conference last week. Here I demonstrate how to recreate the technique inside of Ableton. Wowzers!

id really love a "you suck at performing" series of videos that goes more into building a cohesive template and performance inside of ableton. it's really hard to find good videos on that sort of thing!

[@lyburnumwits2179]

grasskingdoms equally interested

[@Zer0Spinn]

Yes pls

@YouSuckAtProducing Underbelly, get urself to work!!! this is a great idea

[@ChrisP3000x]

That "send send to feedback into itself is a new one to me. Very cool!

[@Hasserfyllt]

its the year 2022 i have no idea what i am doing but i am having such a marvelous time! my only friend who is suffering atm a dark period because of alcoholism visited me yesterday since a long time. he is very down because of covid atm all therapy institutions are cutting short. i showed him the set i copied from your stuff - and we jammed together. i was using sometimes a little turntable (my scratching is just ass but i dont care) he was trying to control all the faders, hahaha, we laughed so hard, it was so much fun, used a lot of strange vocal samples i found over the years. it was the best evening since a long, long time...

[@pixelwax2882]

Hi, I'm Underbelly. In the next episode I'm going to scrub the AIDS off of the faders of my controller.

[@thenoisytrain]

Actually King Tubby is the pioneer , Scientist is more a perfectionist

[@ReyhanJoseph]

Preach

[@nikskush5648]

Scienitst pioneered too....he said it in interview

[@diegogaetasound]

yuuup tubby is 20 yrs older and passed on the sauce to scientist

[@cutseencinematics]

[@mario_actually]

Oh shit. I love Scientist. I grew up with that stuff. He had the coolest LP covers.

[@ricochetpig]

marioworlds and the best album names

[@every3rdthought]

rids the world of the evil curse of vampires is one of my alltime faves

[@harveymilne1684]

I think the artist is Tony McDermot. He does the Greensleeves covers too

[@cn2734]

"Oh wowzers" 😂

[@greesy5644]

damn that made my day. just added the echo nuffin happend wowzers

[@kevontrotman9008]

honestly you make learning about mixing so much fun

[@Pieter_Auper]

I'd like to recommend Softube's Tube delay and Spring reverb units for reggae music. They have the red, yellow and green theme for a reason.

[@TheSocialjerry]

This was a great tutorial .... feeding a return track back into it self is brilliant .... will be using it ....

[@internalreality]

omfg dude this is the best tutorial ive ever seen. i love your work

[@bigteetus]

I really like dub music

[@serjiobazhan3918]

This was something special for me man! Just 5 minutes but such an impact!

[@anttt7993]

That was extremely funny, and informative. Answered my questions. Thanks!!

[@ramielsangedy9205]

I was looking for this so much, thanks veryvery much

[@Frobbl]

Yes yes yes! More Dub videos!

[@transguywithmultiplesclero5406]

Thanks for the video. I missed Scientist at Loop, so I double appreciate it.

[@Williamskiz]

Holy fuck I've been obsessed with Fatty. Really didn't expect to see a video about him, let alone dub in general

[@arnehesvikthomsen1705]

he has a couple of tutorials on here aswell though

[@thebookkeeper3508]

Trying to emulate your delay feedback distortion loop from the intro. A great effect I remember from the main beat to Leftfield's 6-8 War. Getting something close to it with Objec Delay with a very quick delay tap, some saturation and a little upper-mid range eq boost.

[@Chimador]

Hi, anyone know what dub audio pack is being used in the video here? Thx for the video, it's good stuff. Cheers

[@zt-handle]

Underbelly! This is a pro tip man super inspiring thank you!

[@ChoppedAndSkinned]

Dude this ish was perfect. 😄 Subbed.

[@DjJageyedolon]

nice man...will try to repeat this on FL

[@kaeptn]

Pure comedy gold as always!

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

Sly & Robbie made the best dub.. 💖

[@Onkarr]

You just entered another level

[@thehappypine]

Love your videos underbelly. Quick question: can you use your mpd32 this way? I own one as well but I haven’t tried mapping it as a controller

[@lenarnabiev6809]

[@beziox09]

THIS MAN IS AWESOME

[@goatbacon3522]

I already know I'm gonna love this

[@musamhlongo4879]

Yeah king man fire you helped me alot about this video

[@puvididdle]

be warned this is not an education channel, its entertainment... its been an hour, i cant get back to mixing. I just came online to see where is the sidechain button.. ended up subbing and binge watching on this channel. fr tho, really good stuff.

[@raulbuelna]

Absolutely wonderfull !!! thanxs so much

[@thomask6873]

i don't use delay , because i'm not a hippie . weed is bad fo your health . i like my guitars dry and christian

[@shyguymuzik9095]

[@wiliamgambit]

HAHAHAHAHA!

[@jacksonfrease9792]

If it ain't acoustic its the devils music

[@hasslereggae]

Ha ha ha quality

[@jamesmhango2619]

I feel attacked.

[@martinashraf]

my favorite channel!

[@mightyheights7331]

I just found your channel today, your fantastic mixing tutorials had definitely brought me to the point of climax and then I saw this dub mix title and I just skipped parts 5,6 and 7 and just went straight to creaming my pants. So err... so thanks.

[@dopeycomments]

I love your videos! :)

[@kevinzhu1727]

Can you actually produce a reggae song pls

[@gratefulila9980]

Ha! Agreed. But this guy doesn't have the heart for it

[@slowblinkforcats]

this video is iconic

[@ghosted0352]

It was the Enable Send that i been looking for.

[@thacos6292]

This man... Thiiiisss maaan is GOLD

[@henrymackay6724]

I’m watching this baked and I can confirm the echo is making me very anxious

[@0ctivate]

Thank you.. Sorry, but how do you setup your mapping so that your gains don't go to +6db... I saw in another video you used the Sends instead of gains to avoid the problem. I thought that was the solution until now.

[@Shachar50]

amazing!!

[@austrianmountaingoat]

ya man straight outta babylon

[@thomasl.6897]

Thank you !

[@DynastyFBN]

you are the hero that no one called for but everyone needs.

[@lennardbehnke3681]

[@brandoncorder5392]

yo this is sick

[@Sn4p_Fps]

Nice bro , which other effect you can use for dub ? You put it on the master ?

[@Mcsteveberry]

this man is killer

[@kage-fm]

aux returns over 0db give me the fear

[@oscarblack7624]

this is hilarious, and informative

[@malegria9641]

Dub musician here. You got it. I would add a bit more delay to everything tho 😊

[@ThePunkasaurusrex]

where u get the vocal sample

[@fimmt684]

Hey! I was wondering if one needs to download/buy tracks from a specific source to be able to edit/dub reggae music

[@martinowatson]

You can, but I just downloaded dubs off of KZbin(search for Scientist dubs), save them in a folder on your computer/laptop. Open Ableton and locate "places"(it should be on the left side under "categories". Click on "add folder" and locate the folder that you saved the scientist dubs in. Select it and now you should have a copy of your dubs folder in Ableton. Then drag and drop them into the clip slots.

[@dupwakemx7355]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnng this was an expirance. THANKS

[@nijq]

scientist is the man

[@paolom9052]

Anyone knows from which tune are these samples taken ? Or if there is a tune that is arranged in a similar way .

[@Chimador]

I'm kind of asking the same thing... did you ever figure it out?

[@paolom9052]

@@Chimador no man , in the end I tried to arrange it by ear , but never found the tune

[@andrzejzielinski8002]

Great tutorial Underbelly. please make more of dub shit

[@14footballman]

[@julioLewis37]

Very impressive! But can you show how to make a dubstep shit song? I'm not interested in making dubstep but could learn a couple things for sure
