"MAKIN' DUB (4)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)
WWW, January 19 2009 - When I make a DUB, I always start to make an instrumental Reggae track first.
Usually, I start with the drums. I program a rhythm in the Drum Computer, just a basic rhythm. This can be a Steppers, or a One Drop, or another rhythm.
I put the drum in a loop and start adding other instruments in the sequencer. Usually, my first choice after the drum is the bass and there is hardly an exception to that tradition.
When the drum and bass sound nice together, I know I have the foundation.
It's the thing with DUB, you know: it doesn't really matter what you put on top of it, as long as you have a solid drum and bassline. This is a very important aspect that not even all Reggae musicians know!
