    Quick question for you guys.

    Can I use a program like Ableton to make old school Jamaican dub remixes of existing tracks or samples?

    What is being used in videos of the 70s and 80s where it looks like Augustus Pablo and other dub artists have a huge mixing board in front of them?

    • yep it's a huge mixing desk and loads of real effects.
      But with skill you can make anything in any DAW you prefer.      fadein11
    • lots and lots of insane delays - space echos etc. which are all available as pluginsfadein11
    • by skill I mean a studio engineer can replicate anything, may not sound as exactly like authentic outboard gear but it can be close.fadein11
    • I'm rambling again but yes you will get dub effects relatively easily. I use the tape delay built in in logic - it actually has a preset called ultradub which Ifadein11
    • use loads for dub style fx.fadein11

    • You want be able to make a "dub" unless you have stems from the track you want to make a dub version of.section_014
