True dub mixing is a live performance. Set up a tape delay plugin on an auxiliary send track in your DAW. Send the snare and timbales from the EZX mixer to this delay, and manually automate the feedback and send levels during transitions to create classic, spacey dub cascades. Conclusion
Reggae music relies entirely on the interplay between the kick drum and the bass guitar. Use a compressor on your bass track sidechained to the Reggae EZX kick drum.

Balanced, dry mixes emphasizing the snare rimshot and kick drum.
The side-stick is arguably the most important element of a reggae groove. Reggae EZX v1.0.2 features highly detailed velocity scripting for the side-stick profile. Keep your MIDI velocity values between 90 and 110 for a consistent, wooden "clack" that defines the rhythm. Conclusion
