I play House, Electro and trance when i'm out and about, but when i'm at home I sometimes like to listen to and play reggae and Dub to chill out to.
Has anybody got any tips or secrets they could share with me on how to mix this, esp Dub.

I see we have more in common than 1200's and mk2's huh?
Anyhow whatever you mean by chilling out (nothing illegal I hope), makes the mixes need to be smooth esp. with dub. The key is to remember that the beat doesn't actually start till after the drum intro,and of course you know all about cue points and markers. In my opinion, its even better if you include that 1st drum intro, I mean after all that's what a reggae beat is all about, that therefore means you can cue it up using the actual start of the measureable beat but note the cbg position in order to include the drum intro (phew) . Most of the work will then be on how you fade out the outgoing track, just remember to keep it gentle so you don't mess with the......

Course not mate ;)
Thanks for that Lenny, I'm actually getting it abit now. Listening to it, is alot easier than playing it, but once I've chilled out (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) it seem's to come together OK. I just love the rolling basslines in Dub, bloody awesome mate.
