Topic: Dubplate


  
  Dubplate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dubplate is an acetate disc - usually 12 inches, 10 inches or 7 inches in diameter - used in mastering studios for quality control and test recordings before proceeding with the final master, and subsequent pressing.
These dubplates will often be either unreleased recordings (which may or may not end up being made available to the general public) or exclusive versions or remixes of existing recordings.
Vinyl dubplates are a recently-developed format which allow extremely durable recordings to be made (lasting 90% as long as pressed vinyl) and are more suited to cases where no release is imminent, or the release date is a long time away.

 Dubplate special - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dubplate special is an exclusive version of a piece of music, usually (re-)recorded by a reggae or dancehall artist for a Jamaican sound system.
The exclusivity of the recording is made evident by changes to the usual lyrics to include the name of the sound system that has commissioned the recording, often remarking on the prowess of the sound system in question, and sometimes the weaknesses of the opposing sound system(s) in a given competition.
Dubplate specials are an essential tool in a soundclash - the more exclusive the better - but they also form an intrinsic part of the reggae industry.

 Dubplates Made Easy (November 2000)
One of these is the concept of “dubplate.” Particularly popular in the super-DJ stratosphere, dubplates form the essential core of high-profile sets—the traditional outlet for introducing recently produced and unsigned tracks to the public.
For producers, dubplates are simply “reference” material that will allow them to hear their songs on large sound systems in different club and event environments before making final decisions with regards to various elements in the mix.
A $30 to $50 dubplate is ideal when compared to a $500 test press that would most likely take a few weeks to receive and, if dissatisfied with the results, would require a repetition of the process.

 Drum and bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through 1996, hardstep and jump-up sounds were very popular in clubs and at raves, whereas intelligent drum and bass was pushing a sound which was considered more accessible to the home listener.
This resulted in the popularity of the style with mainstream music magazines, as CD album releases by 4 Hero and Goldie were more readily-available than the underground dubplates which characterised the club-based styles.
Stylistically, drum and bass began to adopt an ever more diverse range of influences, crossbreeding with many other forms of dance music to produce a series of hybrid sounds.
