So on the last occasion, I had some time and decided to take it on. Right at the moment, I appeared to be very much into the dub vibe, and this is how I treated the mix. The parts were separated in UVR5 and then I added heavy reverb and echo effects on the parts. This remix was done live in one take &#8212; the parts were manually muted and unmuted on the fly, and the track was played on a loop. Is it over 11 minutes long? Yes. Do I think it&#8217;s too long? Not really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lock\">Lock R630<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dub Of A Stranger<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Payola$<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2382156870&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">written by <strong>Paul Hyde<\/strong> and <strong>Bob Rock<\/strong>. produced by <strong>Mark Ronson<\/strong>. additional production and remix by <strong>Earl Three<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little more Canadian content for you.
