REASON
8.0: A Review For The Dub Community
DUBROOM
SOFTWARE REVIEW |
|
WWW,
October 16 2014 - It's been close to a decade
since the launch of Reason 3.0 and the
Dubroom's review of the then groundbreaking,
ultra-flexible Dub-friendly music production
software. We've promoted the software
continually ever since it was established
how it was possible to make Dub using just
one program. Just recently,
Reason 8.0 was released and arrived in the
Dubroom not much later. We went in-depth again, from 3.0
straight to eight and came back with this review exclusively for the Dub Community. Of
course, we don't have to re-establish how it
is possible to make DUB using Reason as a
Stand-Alone Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
We did that when Reason 3.0 had arrived and
changed the way to produce the music we all
love to produce. It's obvious that
Reason 8.0 enables you to do what version
3.0 offered, and it's obvious that we're a
decade later into the research and
development at the Scandinavian
laboratories. Just
in case, though. Yes, you can make Dub not
just using just a computer but using just
one program. The name of that program is
Reason, of which version 8.0 was released
just two weeks prior to the publication of
this review.

Don Goliath Presents Reggae & Dub Acapellas
DUBROOM
SOFTWARE AND SOUNDWARE REVIEW |
|
WWW, August
2014 - Introducing what can easily be
called the best line of Reggae Vocal Sample
packs until this date: "Don Goliath
Presents Reggae & Dub
Acapellas". Obligated material for
every self-respecting (online) Dub/Reggae
producer in need for vocals, without apology
and exaggeration. Yes, that's a description
and not a slogan. And here is the proof and
reasoning to back it up.
When you go
to the various websites where the online
(DUB) Reggae artists/producers upload their
material, it will not take too long before
you stumble upon a tune that has one of
these well known jingles from Mikey Dread's
albums, or Prince Far I, or Jah Thomas. Just
three, you know. But "everyone"
knows them and even though non-commercial
releases will usually not be objected, using
such vocal samples is not really a sign of
dignity.
Producing
your own (DUB) Reggae and releasing it in a
legal way: let's call it the Dignity
Combination.

RASTA
VOCAL SAMPLES FEATURING DAN MAN
DUBROOM
SOFTWARE AND SOUNDWARE REVIEW |
|
WWW, July
2014 - Voicing with one of the heaviest UK
Sound Systems (Iration Steppas) is a
heavyweight job. Almost as heavy as the bass
going through the many speakers of the
sound. You need to have the right voice, the
right words and the right attitude. Dan Man
has it all and some of this is captured in
RASTA VOCAL SAMPLES.
First
things first: do not just go by the names
and here is why. When you check the reviews
of Sound System Vocals Parts one,
two and three,
you will find out that the material featured
in these packages are applicable in much
more than "just" a Sound System or
DJ live set. Since the Dubroom released
several full lyrical tracks from the
material, that's an easily establishable
fact.

MAD
PROFESSOR'S REEL TO REEL REGGAE PART TWO
DUBROOM
SOFTWARE AND SOUNDWARE REVIEW |
|
WWW, JULY
2014 - In what could very well be the first
review of the product, we take a look at Mad
Professor's Reel to Reel Reggae Part Two as
it was just released by Loopmasters. They've
been visiting the Professor in his Ariwa
studio once again and came back with some
very, very interesting material. Read all
about it, at least download a demo for free
and find out how your productions can be
served and improved by the package.
Without a
doubt, part two goes further than it's
predecessor. It has several things that you
could only crave for and probably did, which
gets clear at the beginning. So let's start
there. Unlike part one, you can choose to
buy certain segments rather than the whole
pack which can come in handy when you're not
able to purchase everything in one go or
when you're simply just interested in
certain aspects. Here they are:
