No samples here, just fluid, beautiful oscillations.

AudioThing Alborosie Dub Station

Developed and designed at the heart of Jamaica’s ultra-prolific music community, Waterhouse, Audiothing immersed themselves in the studio and legacy of legendary studio engineer and producer King Tubby, in order to deliver an instrument true to the authentic sensibility of dub reggae. Developed alongside M.O.B.O. winner Alborosie, who gives this plugin its name, users can generate sensational dub, echo and spring effects that add instant atmosphere to any genre.

AudioThing sampled, analyzed, and carefully recreated the original filter, echos, and spring reverb pre-owned, modified, and used by the legendary Osbourne Ruddock “King Tubby” – producer, studio engineer, and pioneer of dub reggae from the golden era of the 70s – from Alborosie’s personal vintage gear collection.

ECHOWUK: Directly from federal studios, then King Tubby studio in Waterhouse Kingston, the MCI 2 track tape that was used to record and also to create the echo effect for most of the reggae classics overall and popular Tubby’s instrumental dub mixes.

SPRING BLING: Directly from King Tubby studio in Waterhouse Kingston, the modified Fairchild Spring Reverb used by the Maestro himself in most classic records and dub mixes he recorded and produced.

FILTER MAN: Modelled after Tubby’s so-called “Big Knob”, a passive high-pass filter with eleven frequency steps from 70Hz to 7.5KHz. This filter defined the sound of the entire ‘roots’ area of Jamaican music!

Features

• Filter, Echo, Spring.
• Zero Latency / Ultra Low CPU.
• Resizable Window.
• Preset system with randomizer.
