MAAAD Props to Dobber on the REVERB!
« on: November 17, 2005, 11:00:02 pm »
I have been meaning to post a thread like this for a while because I have long appreciated the echoes dobs throws into vocals at the hot shows and never remember to thank him in person.

The echoes make the hot shit so much hotter. He never does it at the average shows, only the hot tracks at the hot shows.  Nor does he ever over use them. Only at the perfect amount at the perfect times!

He does it so well too. Great attention to detail. i.e. a three line chorus will have a different and according level and style of reverb on the last word of each line!

ANyway wanted to give it up and say thanks for making the sick shows that much sicker.

The sound quality ain\'t half bad most of time either ;) it almost always sounds great, even with all the shitty sound systems and bad acoustics

but the echoes rock my world

ive been meaning to discuss this in general too.. what are your definitions of DUB? im a big reggae fan and tracks that are supposedly \'dub heavy\' seem to have more of an echo. is that all \'dub\' is? echoes and reverbs or whatever?

as far as these \'echoes\' or Breakfast \'dubs\' i agree, they take songs to a new level when youre not expecting it.. dobs definitely doesnt overdo it either. the only song i think should always have be dubbed is Sleeping Beauty -- during the verses, not the chorus. some of the rufus\'s where the echo kicks in have sounded crazy.

forgot how quick you can find a definition on this here PC:

Dub Music -- from Wikipedia

Dub is a form of Jamaican music, which evolved out of ska and reggae in 1970s Jamaica. The dub reggae sound includes adding extensive echo and reverb effects to an existing music piece, sometimes accompanied by snatches of the lyrics from the original version.

Dub is characterized as a "version" of an existing song, typically emphasizing the drums and bass for a sound popular in local Sound Systems. The instrumental tracks are typically drenched in sound processing effects such as echo, reverb, part vocal and extra percussion, with most of the lead instruments and vocals dropping in and out of the mix. The music sometimes features processed sound effects and other noises, such as animal sounds, babies crying, and producers shouting instructions at the musicians. It can be further augmented by live DJs.

I never thought of it as \'dub\' but i guess it makes sense because I love dub reggae. I listen to dr dicks dub shack on itunes radio everyday.

My deffinition of it is pretty much reggae with LOTS of reverb and echo and other delay type effects on everything especially the snare and the geetar and the whole style based around the fact that everything is rigged up like this.


Perhaps my favorite breakfast jam ever is in fact the dub reggae jam inbetween merge and phaddy from the june lions den show. Sooooo fuckin ser i WISH they would do more jams like this.

That whole show is pretty dubbed out. The entire opening taboot serwhich the vocals are extreme reverb and some other effect.

I agree 100% on sleeping beauty. There is a lot of songs that get it reularly.i.e. sleeping b, taboo, phaddy,

 The best part about it thoough is deffinitly the way he only busts it out when the boys are on fire. BRILLIANT!

are you talking about echo or reverb? you mentioned them both interchangably, and they are two very different things. I like his use of echo, never really paid attention to reverb past the actual rooms ambience.

isnt reverb sort of the technical name for echo?

If not what is?

I doubt he is pushing a level on the sound board labeled "echo" to make said vocal effects.

or maybe he is I dunno.

ill have to download this.

while we are on the subject of sound, cobb you should know the answer to this.. what\'s the effect called when tim has the permanent \'wah\' sound during a jam or song. kind of like the jerry effect. im buying an electric guitar in about a month or so and this is the one effect i mean to get right away.
