Thanks for this video
Dude, thank you so much, I started from scratch a few months ago and I feel like I am getting a professional reggae production bootcamp just by watching your videos. So grateful thank you.
Right on man, glad you’re digging the content! Cheers
Howdy, your videos are awesome! Learning a lot since I subbed a few days ago. Can you do a tutorial on mixing reggae keyboards (piano, bubble organ) with the rest of the track? Thanks
👍👍👍
WTF.... this is GOLD.... thanks for this amazing info.... Tnks.
Thanks bro! Please share
Wowo wow man you are the best
thank man ,very useful!
can I ask a tutorial video on the various bubbling organ patterns and polyrithims?
Another really helpful video dude! Big up for making these. Can you do a lesson on repeater drumming? Also would love to hear your thoughts on the songwriting side, how to structure things out in a way that keeps things fresh and interesting. Techniques to mix up the tune like going into a ragga style, stabs etc
Jack Carver Music great suggestions! I’ll have to do a repeater video for sure. Cheers
So informing
Again a super tutorial! Thank you.
What draw bar setting you are using as bubble. Percussion and swell is switched off?
With your help, I just got a lot better at my “doo da da dunes” :)
Alec Armbruster LOL, glad to be of service! Cheers
Yea man I saved this one 👍🏼
Stay up dub master am learning soo much
Give thanks brother!!
Great tutorial on Video Editing....Trev
TrevorTheTechnician wait is that a joke? My video editing sucks hahaha
@@DMKahn There is nothing wrong with the videos you are putting up. At least you are putting up videos and keep up the excellent work... Trev
Great video and many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Here's one that i'm having trouble with though. When using three horns together for an intro or chorus riff, how are they layered? Does the trumpet play the root with the sax and trombone playing third and fifth? I want to get close to an authentic sounding horn section but it often sounds bad. Any chance of a vid to explain it?
Phil Buckthorpe thanks for the question! I have played around with this a lot. The issue is that horns generally sound unrealistic. It’s very hard to get good horn sounds. My best attempts have been with a trombone playing the root, a trumpet playing the third and another trumpet playing the fifth of the melody. Altos just sound too fake although they would be the actual horn used in the trio. There are no rules though, sometimes I’ve used the trombone as the third or fifth. I would say make copies of the midi notes and move them around until you get the best combination. You may need to play with octaves as trombones are obviously lower by nature. Something cool to try is on a song with 7ths, try using four horns, one on the 7th harmony. Can be fun. I’d love to do a video but honestly it’s still a struggle to get good horns. Experimentation is the key! Cheers and thanks for stopping by
@@DMKahn Many thanks for that, much appreciated. I've watched countless reggae gigs on youtube trying to figure out what the brass is doing but its hard to tell them apart and like you say, convincing horn patches are hard to come by. I will have a go with what you suggested here, it'll be fun to experiment. Keep up the good work, I'm inspired by the reggae you are creating. Peace.
I am drawn to something else- your drum fills are mad!
Thanks Jay! Hoping to make a drums video soon!!
3:38 I call that pattern a "turnaround" because I always hear it at the ends of phrases.
Man, this is brilliant. Thanks! Just subscribed. Do you do any reggae with with synth bass like what's on Beres Hammond's tracks? Nice one
Check out my latest video on my page, I did a synth bass on that one!
Hey, great vid. Could you make one on drums, one on mixing and one on mastering? That would be awesome! Thanks
I'm making one on mixing very soon, then drums! Mastering is a bit vague of a topic but I will brush on it during the mixing video. Cheers!
@@DMKahn with mastering what to keep an eye out for when you mixed the song like it's supposed to be mixed. So after the mixing vid, you could make a mastering vid giving tips to what to look out for, maybe effects or tricks for punch, vocals above the music, using compressor or when not to use it, getting it to pro level sounding levels etc. Maybe a B or never made the cut song of yours that you mixed and take us with you in that last step to finish the song? Thanks
How bout some tutorials on DUB techniques when it comes to mixing and what kind of ear to have when approaching dub.
In particular maybe some tutorials on what plugins (logic stock if possible) for verbs and delays, parameters and automation tips, etc.
bless up!
Great ideas, thank you!!
Hi Mr khan, what are are some of the best vsts and plugins for reggae production, thanks
este es mas sencillo pero sirve mucho para empezar !!
Gracias amigo para visitar mi channel!!
hi DM kahn, how are you? we are "chocolate factory" a reggae band from philippines. we always watch your video and continue learning from the staff that you're teaching :) can we ask something ? like if we want you to mixing and finalizing our originals.. how much it will cost? or can you please give us your email address? thank you..
Big up. My email is thekahn@gmail.com please send me an inquiry
Copy
What do you suggest for a deeper, meaner sounding clav? I can never get logic clavs to push out that deep roots sound
It takes a lot of tweaking. Try playing with the pick up position and the different brightness settings. Best of luck. Also adding some clipping/saturation will help
If you’re the only keyboard player, can you use an arpeggiator to handle the vamps (default reggae rhythm) ? So you can maybe hold down chords or lay down a solo ?
Not sure why you’d want to do that to be honest
@@DMKahn it’s for a live gig. Usually 2 keyboardists. One does the vamps and the other does synths, brass, solos etc. but this time I’ll be playing alone. Only asking for workaround if you’ve got some. Thanks.
exelente
Gracias amigo!! 🙌
@@DMKahn de nada hace poco empece con el reggea y me sirben muchos tus videos
Big up!!
Very helpful. Are you available to play on some tracks? How can I get in touch?
Vineet Kaul Thanks!. Please send me an email to
Thekahn@gmail.com and we can link up about whatever tracks you need. I can do a per-track price or a bulk price if you need different elements/instruments for a song. Bless!
I never got an email. Hit me up! Thanks
10:50 I always get carried away when i do the bubble :-)
Same haha
hey bro! the drums sounds here are a plugin? witch one? Thanks greats videos
They’re my own samples. I sell them if you’re interested. Email me thekahn@gmail.com bless
Nice video. Which DAW are you using?
Philemon Pierson-Prah thanks! I use Logic X
Olá, sou do Brasil. Você pode me falar o nome do sample de bateria de Reggae que usou neste vídeo?
bsta.rs/k0UCH1
Greetings Kahn. good stuff. what DAW is that you using? lots of love from #Reggaekenya
Bless. It’s Logic Pro X for Mac
Irie mi brejin. Blessed love. I n i hope there exists one for windows coz i like the plugins and reggae live sounds it comes with
reggae keyboard skank, strum or bang got so much different techniques, swing notes, riddim groove that can alter the bang sound making multiply fascinating groove. bubbling also has so many techniques and sounds. enjoy and rock out everyone! peace and love from URIJAH BAND from the Caribbean. My advice is a lot of musicians all do the same sounds they hear from reggae or dancehall music that was invented by our legends. All thanks, respect and love to them since we have copied them or a more polite word followed or immolated them which is cool. Once you learn those foundation sounds, he's doing on this channel, take it to the next level and be creative and inventive. Greatness comes from being original and inventive, REMEMBER THIS, One love to all.
💯!!
do you record your bass guitar directly from your sound interface or your plug it through 3rd party equipments
I plug it into my LA610 preamp DI, but I can make it sound good just in an interface
@@DMKahn do u have a video where you plugged it to the interface directly or can you please make a video of that kahn
What about you're playing the skank together with a guitar. You both have to compromise to swing the same way so it sounds sincronized?
Yes, it will sound the best of all are synchronized. It doesn’t have to be perfect but close to sound tight. The sound of the piano and guitar at the same time is what makes the reggae chop sound
Please share with us a midi file of a one-drop beat. How much are your drum samples and do they come with any midi files?
Hi there, I have a logic file that I include with my sample pack, samples are $50US, email me thekahn@gmail.com (careful spelling K A H N) for details, bless
What patch do you use for you bubble bro ?
check out my video on the ik multimedia organ or the acoustic samples organ, I show it pretty in depth. bless
I need styles or beats or loom for e473
How did you get all those sounds in logic ?
3rd party VSTs
@@DMKahn could you break that down I want some sounds in logic I just got it kinda still learning the ins and out
I did a video a few years ago where I made a reggae song in Logic only. Check it out!
Teach us how to play a one drop on your next video
Hoping to make a one drop video soon!
what kind of drum kit do you use?
I use my own samples. Send me an email to thekahn@gmail.com for more information
@@DMKahn I send you an email. Bless
What keyboard are you playing on please?
That was an M-Audio 49 key
Do you have to connect it to a synthesizer?
No, it’s USB, it triggers software instruments in the computer
Can you share your bubble organ preset please?🙏
Just use the deepest drawbar by itself
This beat you imitate it
Or is your own create
I created this beat. Obviously the style is not my own, it’s a homage to the golden era of 80s Jamaican reggae music of course .
oops and vocals
How to do the piano rhythm when the guitars are playing the pattern already? I saw Reggae bands where 2 guitars and piano are playing the same rhythm. Sound monotonous. Even the swinging of the arms as they strum the guitar is the same as the piano player.
I’m not sure if you know this, but the signature sound you hear in a lot of reggae is the sound of the piano and the guitar playing at the same time. It’s literally part of what makes reggae reggae. It’s the combination of two simple things to make a complex sound. You say monotonous, I say magical 😏
Drum download
What!
I wanted to know where I can find the batteries in that style

Wonderful lesson. If possible , i would like to contact you via email or something to ask more question. Thanks
