Dub Techno Bundle
The meditative, echo-drenched soundscapes of dub techno sit at the axis of music production and sound design, relying heavily upon precise and expressive manipulation of audio effects. As avowed fans of the genre, we have curated a collection of three sonic tools and are proud to present the first of our Genre Bundles.
For Sculpting Your Sound
Zip is far more than a simple compressor. Its unique "Analysis Modes" allow you to dynamically shape your audio in ways that feel organic and musical. Instead of just compressing based on volume, you can use it to subtly duck a synth pad as its tonal quality brightens or to add pulsating saturation that is triggered by the noisiness of a hi-hat. This level of creative control is perfect for the minimalist aesthetic of dub techno, where every subtle change in texture and rhythm contributes to a hypnotic, evolving groove. Zip’s ability to act as a glue compressor, a downward expander, or a dynamic effect unit makes it a unique and versatile tool for both individual tracks and the entire mix.
For Space and Rhythm
The essence of dub techno lies in its use of delay, and Instant Delay provides an ideal canvas for this. Its standout feature is an artifact-free delay buffer that lets you seamlessly automate delay time without clicks, pops, or pitch shifts. This is a game-changer for live performance or creative automation, enabling you to create fluid, evolving rhythmic delays and time-stretching effects that are a hallmark of the genre. With its extensive patchable modulation system, you can link LFOs and sequencers to modulate delay time, feedback, and drive, allowing you to build intricate, otherworldly echo patterns that shift and breathe in sync with your track.
But one Delay is Never Enough
Sandman Pro takes delay and turns it into an instrument itself. While it can handle traditional echoes, its true power for dub techno lies in its Sleep Mode, which freezes the delay buffer to create ambient loops and granular textures. This feature allows you to capture a moment in your track- a subtle chord stab or a snippet of noise—and stretch it into an infinitely sustained drone. With its seven delay modes, including Pitch Shifter and Reverse, and a massive 16-minute delay time, you can craft sprawling, cinematic soundscapes or intricate rhythmic loops. The diffusion network, which adds reverb to the delay tails, is perfect for creating the deep, cavernous spaces that define the genre. Sandman Pro is the ultimate tool for adding an extra dimension of depth, texture, and atmosphere to your productions.
