hi,

i have another question. many 12" contain special dub mixes. i was wondering what dub actually means/is. is it an especially accentuated rhythm??

bye,

Whats up?

I'm not too sure myself, but I think a dub refers to a remix where the bassline is accentuated and the vocals are cut down. They are also generally instrumental in nature.

Hope I was of help! peace
 
hi,
thanks for your answer. yeah i just wasn't sure if it means some type of mixing or whether a dub mix means changing the beat of a track from straight 4/4 to some kind of differently accentuated beat.

thanks,

markus

Dub is a form of audio production founded in Jamaica that uses odd recording/compression/fx techniques. The production is usually really analog sounding and raw. There are many meanings for it now I guess like a dub as in dub plate.. but same concept if you think about it.. Wake up in the morning - make a tune - cut it to dub in the afternoon - play it that night.
