Active Listening to Dub FX Documentary From Charlie

Dub FX Documentary

I must say that the sound of Dub FX’s music is quite addicting. I’m completely hooked.  A great, steady, looped beat and he’s ready to go. It was interesting to watch how he “built” the background sounds. Another effect that I liked was that he uses a change or two in the pitch of voice in the main vocals. My personal opinion is that the shifts in voice keep the audience’s attention. It’s hard to “zone out” to the beat this way. So, while he has you hooked on the beat, you hear what he’s saying. His message.

 My biggest take away from the documentary was the phrase “Got a partner in life . . . wind on our back.” from his song “Flow”. The reason this sticks out to me is that I feel this way about my wife. As long as the two of us are together, we can figure out life’s challenges and joys. Two heads that are thinking and working together are always better than one, right? Another take away is the advocacy of freedom of speech. First he says that he’s pro-freedom of speech. Second a certain word was not omitted via editing in the documentary. A word that is typically omitted or “bleeped” in most documentaries to keep a lower Rating.

I noticed that as long as the video image was crisp, and the sound was clear, I was more interested in the viewing of the documentary. Not so much when the video quality wasn’t; like when they were showing a montage of his performances in different locations. I can’t comment on the sound quality changing for the quality never changed to me.  All in all, this was an interesting and great watch. I also have another artist to enjoy.
