Cool - I know zip about dub but I enjoyed this one. I thought it had kind of a western feel to it in spots - does that make sense?

Hey kip, there's some good stuff in this. I felt that the low end was a little light throughout though - the bass line itself is clear enough, but the kick doesn't feel like it has enough body and everything else in the mix sounded like there was a lot of high pass filtering on. I think the low end has to drive dub/reggae etc and ground the tune - for my ears addressing this would make a big difference to the mix. Good performance throughout

Fair enough thanks for that
Probably something to do with everything is my mu90r synth except the guitars and vox bits.
I'll have alookie see if i cant change the drum map on the kick drum and maybe change the bass line a bit too.
The high pass thing maybe has to do with conversion to mp3 and soundclouds own compression, not making excuses it sounded fine in my monitors.
I do value your opinions thanks
I just listened back on soundcloud and you have a good point it sounds thin and the guitars sound washed out and peircing grrr

Soundcloud is 128 MP3 - so the quality will be reduced and I find it affects the sonics on lots of stuff. Oh well, it's easier than mailing cassettes to you overseas ...lol...

128 i wouldnt even dignify my ipod (cant remember where i put it right now) with that kind of qaulity lol.
Its convenient and stops folks just downloading your stuff too.

This sounds good kip. I like the arrangement and you certainly have great clarity.
I like the bass part in particular.
I'm actually not used to hearing dub so clear and modern sounding. I'm terrible with genres, but I think of dub as being more lo-fi like lee perry, big youth, maybe bunny wailer? I bet it's come a long way since then though.
I too think the low end in general on this mix could come up to give the whole thing a meatier sound, but I do like it as is too.
