MAKING DUB WITH COMPUTERS, PART 19: THE
(MIDI) RIDDIM SECTION
STUDIO DUBROOM TUTORIAL
Even though the "riddim" or "skanks" section is not the field of expertise of the writer of the tutorial, it might show to be fruitful to at least check out the chapter.

DENNIS ALCAPONE - GOT TO BE CONSCIOUS/DUB TO
BE CONSCIOUS
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE
Got To Be Conscious comes in two different mixes: the first one is a (mini) discomix carrying the full vocals followed by a Dub where the second is a spaced-out Dubwise track. Both mixes have their own specific vibe as well.
This second release in the new Dubroom sound comes with a real horn section, something really new and used in many more releases to come. Connoisseurs will rightfully recognize the Ariwa horn section (like in the previous one) and the Ariwa riddim section (the piano etc). Still this is an original Dubroom riddim and production, and it's a legal (licensed) release too.
This two track release is presented as 128/320 Kbps MP3 Files or true CD Quality WAVE Audio, as usual with releases out of the Dubroom Studio. Click "DOWNLOAD" to go to the Download Page. All Rights reserved © 2014 Messian Dread/Dubroom
MESSIAN DREAD - MAN FROM GALILLEE ACAPELLA
STUDIO DUBROOM DOWNLOAD
The package comes with several wave files you can simply insert in your audio sequencer at 125 BPM and everything will play in sync, enabling you to create your very own musical track around the dry vocals. Backing and lead vocals come seperatly.
The musical audio files (with the exception of the bass line) are there primarily for guidance. The original drums are not included and the chords can be re-programmed much more interestingly. There's a midi file containing the chords as well as the bass line for your reference.
The audio is completely dry. No effects whatsoever, so you can create your very own sound by using your own reverbs or whatever. You might need to normalize the vocal files and/or others, there is no volume balance between the instruments. You really need to create your own musical track but then, that's what you want anyway as a self-respecting producer of (DUB) Reggae Music.
More instructions and a license are included in the package, which you can download as a RAR file or ZIP. Click "DOWNLOAD" to be directed to the Download page.

MESSIAN DREAD - HIS IMPERIAL DUBWISE
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE
It's not just the real horns and other instruments, it's not just the effects and the obvious improvement in the quality of the sound, it's not just the vocals. It's that and more. It's a new step in the sound development of the Dubroom Studio as everyone can hear.
His Imperial Dubwise comes in two different mixes. The first one contains 4 minutes of intense mixing where no instrument or vocal is left unchanged by the effects. Effects that are evidently different and better than the ones used before. It's in this first mix that you can really check that out for yourself while the extended Dub which follows carries a message that is as relevant and important as it was when it was delivered back in 1966.
It's all about a speech entitled "One Race, One Gospel, One Task". He spoke the words in Berlin during an evangelical congress organized by the well known evangelist Billy Graham. Addressing christian evangelists and leaders, he encouraged them to spread the Good News of Jah Salvation. But not after having been welcomed with an ovation that lasted well over a minute. And not after having been introduced as the obvious choice of "Chief of State to come and greet us in the Name of Christ" by Billy Graham himself.
Yes, we are speaking about an introduction to the Biblical and spiritual relevance of Ethiopiah and His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie the First. An introduction that transcended merely opening for a speech back in '66 as Billy Graham sums up the many reasons why his choice of Ethiopiah and H.I.M. to address a congress of evangelists and other workers for Christ is so obvious.
This release can therefore serve as an educational tool while the new sound which is currently under development can be discovered in -especially- the first track. The effects and techniques used are new, at least partly. At the time of this release (May 2014), there's hard work in the studio as many tracks are produced which Jah willing be eventually released and they will hopefully surprise both friend and foe.

DILLINGER - DUB THE WICKED
DUBROOM NET LABEL RELEASE
"Dub the Wicked" is created in April 2014, using new instruments and effects even though this might not be too obvious. There's a -real- guitar and percussion, and there's a more old-skool type of reverb incorporated into the mix.
The tech-know aside: enjoy over ten minutes of heavy Dub, with a definite Old Skool vibe. Two different mixes, presented in several qualities of MP3 or -as usual- CD quality WAVE Audio.

RADIO DUBROOM 2014 CHAPTER 3
The set opens up with a selection of older UK Roots Reggae and DUB. As the history of Reggae in the UK is as old as the music itself, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise to find out all kinds of historic recordings that have gone lost in the memory holes of just too many people. Misty in Roots' excellent 12" "Salvation (Discomix)" and Brimstone's 7" "Final Judgement/Final Dub" are two of them.
