Editing King Tubby (section)

===Remixes===
Tubby began working as a disc cutter for producer [[Duke Reid]] in 1968.<ref name="Thompson" /> Reid, one of the major figures in early Jamaican music alongside rival [[Coxsone Dodd|Clement "Coxsone" Dodd]], ran [[Treasure Isle]] studios, one of Jamaica's first independent production houses, and was a key producer of [[ska]], [[rocksteady]] and eventually [[reggae]] recordings. Before the advent of dub, most Jamaican 45s featured an instrumental version of the main song on the flipside, which was called the "version". When Tubby was asked to produce versions of songs for sound system MCs or [[Deejay (Jamaican)|toasters]], he initially worked to remove the vocal tracks with the faders on Reid's mixing desk, but soon discovered that the various instrumental tracks could be accentuated, reworked and emphasised through the settings on the mixer and early effects units.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> In time, Tubby began to create wholly new pieces of music by shifting the emphasis in the instrumentals, adding sounds and removing others and adding various special effects, like extreme delays, echoes, reverb and phase effects.<ref name="Music"/> Partly due to the popularity of these early [[remix]]es, in 1971, Tubby's soundsystem consolidated its position as one of the most popular in Kingston and Tubby decided to open a studio of his own in Waterhouse in 1971, initially using a [[Multitrack recording|4-track]] mixer purchased from [[Byron Lee]]'s Dynamic studio.<ref name="Thompson" /><ref name="Bonitto" />
