AudioThing Alborosie Dub Station Introductory Sale

Filter, Echo, Spring by Alborosie

This is the full version of Alborosie Dub Station (Affiliate Link). The following versions are also available:

• Alborosie Dub Station Crossgrade from Springs (Affiliate Link)
• Alborosie Dub Station Crossgrade from Outer Space (Affiliate Link)

Straight from the heart of Jamaica’s most prolific music community, Waterhouse in Kingston, AudioThing proudly introduce you to the Alborosie Dub Station.

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!

AudioThing give special thanks to Lloyd James “King Jammy” for the continuous inspiration and guidance.

Alborosie

Real name Alberto D’Ascola, he was born in the Sicilian town of Marsala, Italy. He formed the Reggae National Tickets, who regularly toured Europe during the mid-to-late nineties. As the Millennium approached, the Tickets performed in Jamaica and the island immediately enveloped Alborosie in its spell, prompting him to jump ship and take a job as an engineer at Gee Jam studios in Port Antonio – a tropical hideaway on Jamaica’s north coast where Amy Winehouse, No Doubt, and many other foreign and local stars liked to record.

“I just wanted to be close to the music that I loved, and that I couldn’t find in Italy. That is the main story behind my journey so all I want to do now is contribute to the genre and bring it to the next level – to carry the flag, or even just help someone else carry the flag”

In 2011, he won the M.O.B.O. (Music of Black Origin) Awards in the Best Reggae Act category.

AudioThing Organetta Sale

The Organetta is a small portable reed organ made in the late 50s. The sound is generated by an electric fan that blows air into a set of brass reeds hence the sound is reminiscent of something in between melodica and an accordion. AudioThing sampled this little green friend with two mics: a large-diaphragm condenser mic and a piezo attached to the chassis. The fan noise has been removed from the samples but you can choose to add it to the mix or play it alone by pressing the green keys. To add more realism we captured 6 round-robin of the key down and up noises.

Important note: The full version of Kontakt 4.2.4 or higher is required to run this software.

Pricing and Availability

Organetta (Affiliate Link) is an intricately sampled portable reed organ with a rich, iconic sound that is somewhere between melodica and an accordion. Save 62% off and get it now for only £4.95 / $6, exclusively at Plugin Boutique.
