week13: dub

By anodivirta on March 30, 2014 6:09 pm

for this week I had idea of roots reggae/dub.
After last weeks "clean" sounds I had chance to get dirty:)
Most of the tracks went thru various preamps and were bounced to casette.
And master was also recorded to casette.
I gave up on getting that really dirty ol king tubby-type of sounds and
ended up somewhere in the "shitty sounding modern demo sound"

Hammonds, some drums are from logic, playad some live guitar
and had a friend record some live drum to this.
(Thanks Antti Tammimaa Antti in soundcloud )

You caught the dub vibe perfectly, and I like the lofi cassette sounds. Good job!

This is totally in the pocket mate!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm from Finland..
Been building my own ghetto spring reverb, but should make something proper:)
