In the recordings of Lee “scratch” Perry, King Tubby, and others, there is a very recognisable echo sound which has come to be recognised as the “Dub Delay”. In later tutorials I will cover feedback matrices and automation, intermodulation and other more advanced topics.Ī “Dub Delay” A short history and explanation I’ll explain some pitfalls to avoid which we should bear in mind as our experiments become more complex.

The tutorial also shows you the basics which can be used in all of these cases, this involves activating feedback in Ableton Live’s effect return channels and showing you how to progressively reshape the sound produced until you have a unique effect. In this first tutorial I will focus creating the Dub Delay and a little bit of regenerative Looping.
Here are three audio examples of the sound of feedback The types of outcomes you can create with feedback range from Dub style delays, to no-mixer synthesis, to looping evolving ambient soundscapes. If you are the type who learns by dismantling a working example, then there is a downloadable example file at the end of this tutorial.
Exploring feedback techniques can bring a complexity and uniqueness of sound to your tone palette, it is a sound with internal coherence so it might appear more “natural” than other types of synthesis or effect.
This tutorial is the first in a series covering feedback in synthesis and production, and how it can be a fun way to create new and interesting sounds with a seeming life of their own.
