I have no doubt someone will like it more than I do, and some will use it well. So I'm not actually going to buy Stutter Edit (at least not yet). I was trying to be low key because in the past I had expressed my disappointment with some things on this forum and got the usual attacks and whatnots.ДЄ really useful plugin is Effectrix. The one or two that work nicely (for me) don't warrant 149 bucks in my opinion (and that's the 'deal' price). Most of the demo presets were not very appealing to me. and the truth is, I was somewhat excited by Stutter Edit seeing the video.

Gee, you're pulling the truth out of me now. Even cooler, there's the Roland VP7 - now that's a toy I could have fun with!

Maybe I'm just too disconnected from electronic genres, and Billy will no doubt refute this, but it seems to me this is just another way for somebody to plant one MIDI note on the PRV and call it a song.ДЄs modulators and manglers go, far more interesting was the Sonnivox Vocalizer across the aisle. I subsequently passed by the booth many times over the next three days, stopping to see if Nectar was up on the screen, but this stutter effect was what they'd chosen to seriously peddle at the show. I could only take it for about 10 minutes and then moved along. Sure, you can modulate and gate in a variety of ways, but it was just one variation after another on the same theme. Then they start showing this silly stutter edit effect and describing it in superlatives you'd normally associate with something revolutionary. Despite a somewhat small and semi-confusing interface, this one has one of the most dramatic and musical sounding results.I had a wtf? moment after sitting down at the iZotope booth, hoping maybe I'd get to see a Nectar demo. Of course, all of the effects can be sequenced over the chosen length with independent envelopes. They're then processed with low pass/high pass filters, semitone pitch intervals, panning, gates, and more. These repeats can be set to play out for specified lengths of time like 1/4 notes to 2 bars (or more) in length with the вЂњLengthвЂќ parameter. The size of the repeat is easily selected with values like 1/4, 1/16, etc. When enabled, you can trigger perfectly synchronized repeats. The large вЂњglitchвЂќ button in the center of the effect turns the effect on and off, and can be easily automated specifically. Since these type of effects are meant to be left on all the time, this make a lot of sense. The idea is that the processed song, bus, or musical part is totally unaffected until the Glitch button is pressed. Glitch Bitch by default is disabled which makes it perfect for creating glitch/stutter effects. The first 4 bars are the raw unprocessed track, then effected by the plug-in, then faded out. In the audio example below (and on each of the 5 reviewed effects). The built-in bypass button allows you to conveniently stop and start processing without any noticeable click, or you can use the Dry/Wet slider to move between the un-effected and effected sound. All 16 slices can be processed with loopers of different speeds, filters (including vowel type), envelope/gates, vinyl tape stops, and more. You can easily repeat and rearrange slices in any order, but that's just the beginning. All 16 of them are processed in their own private space and never bleed over to the nextвЂ¦ so Looperator is the closest thing to an actual handmade audio edit as you can get in a plug-in.

This fun new plug-in allows you to chop up the incoming signal into 16 synchronized slices. Editor's Note: We've featured iZotope's Stutter Edit and BreakTweaker in previous articles about glitch and stutter effects, and although they're not given proper mention in this article, we do recommend you check them out as well!ДЇirst up let's look at SugarBytes Looperator. Easy setup was also a requirement, as all 5 plug-ins do not require any side chain configuring making them quick and easy. Also important was either a click-less ability to enable and bypass the effect, or an internal fade/bypass. This way you can easily leave them enabled on the master output without worry, and of course on individual channels/buses too. When choosing the effects for this article, it was important that none of them added any coloration when not processing the incoming signal. In the audio examples below, all the plug-ins are individually processing the entire song on the master track. We'll look at 5 different plugins of this type suited for processing a mix, or for individual instrument tracks. DJ/Remix style glitch, gates, chops and stutters can help to move a track forward by adding much needed variation. Wether you use self-created MIDI loops, or audio loops from sample packs, adding motion to loop based music can be a vital part of producing a final version.
