The Vermillion Sessions: Dub Drop

Dub Drop features 9 Dub Techno Inspiration Kits (track starters) from Dean Daughters.

I went the extra mile to bring some serious analog flavor to this pack!

These kits were all made by importing my own custom sounds into the vintage Electribe ESX-1 groovebox/sampler, programming the grooves there, and then recording everything back out into Ableton individually - for even further processing. For those not familiar with this sweet piece of retro hardware, it has tubes inside of it for an extra warm, analog style sound.

I recently upgraded the tubes inside of my ESX-1 from the stock, factory tubes - to some newer, much more high quality sounding tubes to maximize the sonic impact of these kits!

This very lengthy sound design process has given these samples some serious *character*! There is a distinct warm, "analog-gear" type of sound present that you just don't get when using super-clean, all-digital samples made from virtual instruments.

This authentic, vintage quality is really helpful in getting an awesome dub techno sound!

Sound design can sometimes slow down your writing process when creativity strikes - Give your sound arsenal a boost!

These inspiration kits will get you up and running with making new tracks in no time!
