Loefah FX

Post by spink91 » Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:13 pm

Safe,

After this really famous sample used in early 2000's dub with DMZ, Skream, Benga, Loefah etc.

The sample is at 4 seconds in during this mix by Loefah. Anybody know what the sample is and where i can find it? Don't wanna sample it myself and lose the quailty.

It's a test tone sample - a very heavily reprocessed one, but a test tone nonetheless.

Dub (reggae, the foundation for all this bidness we do) used to improvise a lot with their sound sources adding things that weren't designed to be instruments per se; this is one of them. There were recordings and gear (some mixing consoles had them for example) that had playback tones used to calibrate/tune gear - usually at well known freq. values like 440HZ - but that were also used as sound generators in music by various dub producers (Tubby, Jammy, Perry, etc.).

The good news is that all you need to do is generate a pure sine at the same frequency and you have basically how that sample started. Throw on some 'verb & shit... season to taste.
