Reggae skank question!?

[LordBid]

The search function wasn't really giving me any help so I thought I would ask, I want to know how to make those distant reggae chords as heard in kode9-Sine Ive been tampering with piano sounds and various effects but cant seem to nail it.

oh i know what a chord is and how to do the reggae skank im talking about the effects at work here cus they sound so good obv delay and reverb, but anything else?

[nitz]

put it on like a 1/3 delay and high feedback... then your rolling

Plus

If it dont sound big enough, add more notes into your chord.

[FSTZ]

gald you have a sense of humor....

[LordBid]

doppppeeeeee and that guy on the guitar is pretty awesome

[deadnoisesystem]

try an electric piano like a fender rhodes, and layer up delays

[LordBid]

honestly your post made me laugh out loud

[nutrician]

for a good skank you need a spring reverb, good tapedelay and phaser and try to detune your piano/guitar a bit. ad some distortion or guitar amp for some more gritty sound

and try to experiment with the order of effects.

There is a formula for proper skank sounds, but I'm not telling. Keep pushing, keep experimenting. Develop your way of making a skank sound.

Exactly,

the chord is played muted (by applying little pressure gently to the strings and hit 'em hard) . Then the sound travels through a delay and then the reverb...

Micha, this plugin sounds very good... Is it a cpu hog?

nope, its not, its very lean. but i use it anyway just as sendfx.

[nowaysj]

Is that a new version or an old version of dubstation? Mine don't look like that.

I tried it out, well worth the money... probably the best emulation I've tried...
