Dub Effects Masterclass with Tippy I (ft Soundtoys)

Dub music musician and producer Tippy I stops by the SonicScoop channel to show his approach to using plugin effects as part of his live dubbing setup. Using MIDI controllers to manipulate his Soundtoys plugins in real time, Tippy is able to bring compelling human performance to DAW-based music creation and manipulation.

Live dub music, a genre inspired by reggae music, in turn influenced countless other modern genres, from hip hop to pop, experimental rock to EDM. If you are catching this video the week it comes out, be sure to check out the big sale on Rhythmic Manipulation at https://Soundtoys.com

Create movement with dub effects (in any DAW)

Let’s talk about a timeless classic technique: dub effects. There are three core parts to pulling this off: – a delay unit with a volume control before it (e.g. a return channel) – a delay unit with feedback above 100% (with a limiter to be sure) – use your hands to control the feedback (with a MIDI controller) Once you’ve got this set up you can try different speeds, chaining more strange effects, and creating unique layers. I also recommend bouncing these effect layers to audio to use the best takes. I’ll show this in Ableton Live, but this applies in all DAWs!
