01Overview

Dubtronic is a collection of production kits made by Niche Audio with Dubmatix. The pack draws on dub, reggae and electronica and covers the core parts of a dub track: drums, basslines, FX and skanking synths. Each kit is a starting point for a track, with sample sets, processing and pattern content already in place. The kits are arranged as Maschine projects and Ableton Live sets, so you can start from a finished-sounding groove or adapt the parts to your own arrangement.

03In depth

Sounds and Kit Contents

The collection is organized into four main sound groups: classic drums, booming basslines, twisted FX and iconic skanking synths. Niche Audio says the samples are mixed and processed with the host's built-in effects, so each kit is meant to sound finished without extra sound design.

The Maschine version includes 15 projects and 15 groups. The sample set is 240 WAV files at 24-bit/44.1 kHz. Among them are 30 kicks, 31 claps and snares, 36 hi-hats, 28 percussion sounds, 6 cymbals, 27 basses, 56 synths, 15 FX and 11 vocal sounds.

Using the Kits in Maschine and Ableton Live

Every kit loads with conceptual MIDI patterns so you can hear the sounds in context right away. Niche Audio describes the patterns as skillfully programmed sketches meant to get you moving, not as finished arrangements.

The Ableton Live version contains 15 projects, 15 drum racks and 47 instrument racks, using the same 240 samples. You can change the samples, effects, mix and patterns, or use the kits as they are. The pack suits producers who want to start a dub or reggae-influenced track quickly.
