    not only are you revealing the secrets of producing authentic reggae through fundamental ideas, but you are also revealing how a full track can be recorded, drums and all, in a 5x5 foot space (like mine) - no excuses now!!!!

    This is so great, I have been a huge Roots Radics fan for many many years and I love how you highlight so many of the little subtle flourishes and techniques that each of the players bring to the table. You don't credit yourself as a good player, but your recordings clearly sound intentionally like the Radics, great job! Don't shortchange yourself. I also love that you have echoed many of the little things that I love about the Radics as my number one Jamaican session band. Its those things that alot of people maybe don't even notice. That is part of what makes the Radics so good, on first listen it seems so basic and simple, maybe even boring, but when you listen closer, its all the little subtle things that when all put together has that big impact and genius, that is where they are actually pretty complex in their simplicity. You mention that you aren't sure who actually played the rhythm guitar on Big Ship, but when you talk about what the technique is, and the chop as you call it, that could only really have been Bingy Bunny. I have heard his sound referred to as the "Skeng" sound (I think by Dwight), however you want to describe it, that sound is synonymous with Bingy Bunny, that bright skeng sound with the little perfect accents in the song gaps. I have seen alot of footage of him playing various guitars, but I would guess he would have used a telecaster for this, not sure exactly but that is the guitar I have seen him play the most in the 80's. I guess Its also possible that Bingy did not play rhythm guits on this, I think there were a few sessions where he was not available from my vague recollection (I obsess over the credits that many times are not fully accurate or have omissions), and someone filled in for him, but that would have been very unusual. I think 99% of all "Radics" credited sessions would have had at least Bingy Bunny and Flabba Holt on the recording. Other players tended to come and go in order to fulfill the producers booked session time at Channel One usually. But going by ear, the players that are the MOST distintive are Flabba, Bingy Bunny and Style or even Santa before Style joined the Radics. You can also clearly tell when its Dwight Pinckney or Chinna in the early days (usually with paired with Santa on drums) or Sowell before Dwight joined. The other players tend to be harder for me to pick out by ear. Anyway, great job overall here. I will be watching your other videos. The other reggae studio bands that are worthy of a treatment like this would be The Soul Syndicate and even the High Times Players. But I will always rate the Roots Radics as number one. They are all awesome, but for some reason the Radics speak to me more. Cheers.

    Love the drum sound you got, although very different from the one you were going for, and respect for the love and effort you put into this project and your versatility with several instruments and engineering.
    In the classic Studio One days (Ska and Rocksteady) they were 1 or two mics on the whole drum kit, later they became 3 or 4 through out the 70's.
    And this applys to basically every Jamaican studios, but even in the States or everywhere else it wasn't that different. The close miking of every piece of the kit took over in the 80's and, in my humble opinion, killed the vibes of the drums.

    Thanks for the video! What's your setup on the bass to get that tone? Looks like you have some foam at the bridge. Flatwounds? Stock pick-ups? Neck pickup with the treble rolled-off? Etc. Is this attempting to copy their technique or your own?

    • @DMKahn
      @DMKahn  3 года назад +1

      Basically just trying to get it to sound round and deep, not trying to copy anything exactly, just ballpark. they’re regular strings, active stock pickups (Marcus Miller V vintage jazz bass) nothing too crazy with the settings.. pretty much in the middle, yes foam at the bridge, that’s what helps with the round character. Honestly the bass just has a very rich deep tonality straight from the guitar, I remember when I picked it up at GC years ago I knew it was perfect for a deep reggae tone. I know this doesn’t help much, but if I were building a bass from scratch I’d definitely get active pickups, seems to do the trick for me. All the best

    I am deep into channel one and dynamic recording styles and I must say the sound in this case is on point! And aside the guy fava Ricky from Trailer Park Boys so its a double plus! :D
    At the end I was feeling like it was the original big ship riddim. Just the piano sound was cheap, should pick Grad piano in combination with a slightly off tuned electric piano, would give the sound of the channel one wing piano.

    Is that the "official" sticking on the intro roll? I'm asking because I intuitively would play it lrlR rather than rllR.

    • @DMKahn
      @DMKahn  3 года назад

      I have no idea, but to me, I would be willing to wager it’s rllR. The roll is not perfectly on time, it’s slurred. I mean it could be lrrL too, but I don’t think it’s back and forth. I could be totally wrong, it’s just how I naturally play it and think it sounds right. To further my argument, it’s easier to land hard on the right hand if it’s rllR as opposed to rlrL or lrlR because you have more time to emphases the 4th hit. Again, just my guess :) bless

    • @MrVoraxTranstellaris
      @MrVoraxTranstellaris 3 года назад

      @@DMKahn Your guess is as good as mine then, although your ears may be more trained. I'm used to playing lrlR in such cases. The lrl is a little triplet preceding the accented R landing on the count. You can slur or rush it to taste and the alternating sticking gives me the most control over that.
      By the way, for only 9 months of drumming you play pretty well!
      Mash it!

    • @DMKahn

    • @DMKahn
      @DMKahn  3 года назад

      I decided that the overview of the drums was already super long so I didn’t go through all the EQ settings on each channel, but it’s basically very small cuts and boosts to accentuate the parts of the drum I liked. Sorry it’s kind of vague but It’s more about the mic placement than the EQ, on the tracking side anyways. Just get a good clean signal.

    Hello Master, i have a question about midi (virtual instrument : piano, organ, drums...) do you have an advice to record them the more natural as possible. I know that first of all, i have to work technicaly :-) but i always have a gap (before the time) despite i reduced the latency (buffer size). I saw people (like another master Seb Westfinga) don't quantize anything, and for me it does'nt work. thanks !! :-)

    • @DMKahn
      @DMKahn  3 года назад +1

      The only way to make them as natural as possible is to practice playing until it sounds natural. I am not against some quantization (a certain percentage) if you need it. But if you do 100% quantized it will sound too computer timing
