Fri, October 12, 2007 - 6:23 PMdub music sticks to basic major/minor/pentatonic scales mostly.
I'm just learning to play the keys, and I want to know what that chord is.
every dub jam with piano in it plays this chord on the up beats.
it sounds exactly like the guitar, I can't figure it out.
just wanted to see if there were any producers in here who knew how to play this . . -

Re: dub
Sat, October 13, 2007 - 10:56 AMYeah, I probably have no idea what youre talking about. when people make such sweeping generalizations about dub they sound niave to me. how can i put this... it sounds like "rock music sticks to basic major/minor/pentatonic scales mostly.
I'm just learning to play the guitare, and I want to know what that chord is.
every rock jam with guitare in it plays this chord on the one. "
classic dub is basically a reggae tune thats being remixed in a creative way. saying that all reggae tunes are in G is mysterious. if youre a creative dub instrumentalist you should be able to rock shit in whatever key you want, have the skank chord follow the progression. when I caught lee perry live (with mad professor on the boards) the piano man was using all sorts of jazzy RnB clash chords and almost never played the old school ska upbeat. and thats two of the greatest most influential dub producers of all time. -

Re: dub
Sat, October 13, 2007 - 11:00 AMif youre looking for production tips. like i said, all that information is already out there, just do a basic internet search like:
www.interruptor.ch/cgi-bin/.../415.html
if youre trying to learn how to engineer dub - i would suggest just fucking around with all the effects until you know how to knob tweek. and learn singal processesing too. then you will learn not only how to signify classic roots dub - you might develop your own style. -

Re: dub
Sat, October 13, 2007 - 11:54 AMIt's not the engineering I need to learn (I'm a certified pro tools operator)
I simply wanted to know how you piano players record that backup piano.
I know nothing about piano. I've studied guitar my whole life.
I've been screwing around and asking google, and tribe, and as of yet to no avail.
No offense...but by understanding basic structure
that is not going to automatically cause one monkey to produce a duplication.
I want to dig into the roots of dub and apply it to my own style.
Please don't even bother replying if you're just going to talk down to me,
I don't see the point. I'm just an inquiring mind.

Re: dub
Sun, October 14, 2007 - 10:36 PMits all just trial and error. try looking at some youtube videos or something, go out and watch a reggae act, epereince it live, go out there and support it, go out there and ask them, i mean get get away from your cubicle and experience it!! -

Re: dub
Mon, October 15, 2007 - 12:41 PMor approach it the same way most people learn guitare. take lessons and bring your favorite reggae tunes to your teacher. -

Re: dub
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 11:51 AMIf I'm thinking of the keyboard parts that you are talking about, and as stated before there a lots of different styles. Then it sounds to me like a short stab with a gated reverb and some delay. But that's just a guess...
Funnily enough most of the major Dub producers have pages on MySpace.... I don't know if they have time to answer these sort of questions or not, but who knows, if they are not too busy or flooded with fan-mail or whatever you might be able to get Blackbeard or the Mad Professor or one of the other Original Masters to answer your question for you (how cool would that be?).
Peace (and Dub) -

Re: dub
Wed, October 24, 2007 - 12:33 PMprobly a basic triad - but you can put just about any sound on the off beat and it works.
the offbeat skank chord is more of a ska thing. some british reggae was influenced by 2nd wave ska and the revival of some of those styles. like lkj steele pulse and mad prof. and people who follow in their footsteps. theres a variety of ways to play the off beat, double and tripling up - adding fake delay and etc. see that above posted link for specifics on prod. i dont think most classic dub producers used pro-tools - so you wont be able to duplicate - only emulate. did you see that posting about mad prof using reason. you should fully peek his sequence. most of those dub producers on myspace are probly fan pages.
