Help with dub reggae setup in AUM

edited June 2021 in General App Discussion

I have searched but not found any tutorial on how to setup AUM with midi controllers for a live dub reggae mixing session. It’s not trivial and I think AUM would be perfect it. You need all sorts of things like buses with spring reverbs, tape delays, clip launchers (maybe lk imaginando).
I mean something like this video but in AUM with all the necessary setup with effects to make it possible.

@jakoB_haQ @thesoundtestroom could this be something for you? Any other ios music youtubers up to the task? Thanks

    That helped me a lot

    @NimboStratus thanks, it’s a good tutorial for midi mapping. I was looking for a specific usage for dub reggae and that would also involve adding effect buses in AUM and how to route the individual tracks to those efrect buses.

    Create 8 audio channels in AUM
    that you would like to effect.
    Create A,B and C sends on each channel.

    Assign the main volumes of each channel
    to the eight faders on the AkaiMidi mixer using midi learn in AUM and the sends to
    each rotary.

    Create three extra channels and set
    their inputs to mix bus A, B and C.

    These channels should look like this

    Insert the effects you would like to use.
    I’m using Tonestacks for the purpose
    if this explanation.

    Send A reverb
    Send B delays
    Send C could be for a parallel effect

    Create a Master channel and route everything through that one.

    Assign the pads to mute and solo.

    Mix away.

    @Gravitas Thanks a lot it doesn’t look too complicated, I’ll give it try.

  • gusgranitegusgranite

    Don’t forget that sends can be pre and post fader

    No problem.

    Though the screenshots are from
    my iPhone the same applies for an iPad.

    Holla if you have any questions.

    Although dub delay sends are normally pre fader I think

  • gusgranitegusgranite

    Here’s a super simple drums to tape echo / resonant filter / spring reverb on independent channels so you can eq them or layer FX separately. You could also create a feedback channel by sending and receiving to the same bus. Need a true peak limiter like Barricade though and ride the fader carefully to protect your ears lol

  • gusgranitegusgranite

    You might want to update the title to show that you’re looking for dub reggae setups in AUM as well? You might get more responses?

    Thanks a lot! 😊

    If you go through the hammer head thread
    There is a download for multi outs for lots of drum machines all made for AUM with 2 midi buses set, you can just add a third bus to these
    Save the file to audio share
    Then choose the file you need, choose share and then select AUM, once open you can save it in AUM

    To (space) echo what @gravitas and @gusgranite have said in their posts, AUM is perfect for this and works really well. I have a Launchcontrol XL that I use for the mixing desk aspect and it's gold. My personal tip also is: don't forget the dub siren :wink:

    As far as clip launching is concerned, I use Hammerhead in transport-off mode, load a loop into each pattern and then sequence the patterns from Atom 2 which I control via a Launchpad Pro Mk3. I absolutely LOVE this setup. The two controllers mean I don't need to touch the screen and mapping the controls for the effects to dials on the LCXL is INSANE amounts of fun. As Gus said, don't forget to protect your ears (if wearing headphones, or rapport with other house members/neighbours if using speakers) with some kind of master bus limiter.
