The glitch is friendly, it doesn’t blow your mind and mess up and mangle your drums or whatnot etc. Stutter Edit does not do something you can’t do, and for glitch-music (either Aphex/RDJ-like or like the glitch-stuff from for example Ulver), it’s not ideal. A crash in your own bedroom-studio isn’t something you compare to a crash during a live-set. Sure you can use it in your studio, that’s fun too, but at that point you don’t focus as much on the CPU as for a live-set. It’s designed for live use, and since many of us aren’t huge stars who get to carry around desktop-computers, it shouldn’t break your laptop, after all, the point is to be able to use it live on your laptop. No complaints there, but as said, that’s like socks not having holes in them. Technically, I didn’t notice any CPU-problem, it worked fine like that. If you’ve used The Finger and know a little something something about Reaktor, you understand why I’m not that impressed. I mean, what the fudge? It is tweakable and you can get some nice visual feedback, but that’s like socks not having holes. Just the simple fact that the effects don’t chain makes me seriously consider not buying it. (A personal favourite for me being The Finger, especially since Reaktor probably is the definition of brilliance). Sure the sounds are great and it’s fun and easy to use, but so is a lot of cheaper and better alternatives. And well, just the fact that it’s a real-time playable, glitch-like effect makes me drool a little. It sounds bloody great, it looks good and it does some funky (albeit not new) things. I have to agree with a lot of people about this thing Meh. There’s also a free trial on their website. IZotope is offering the plugin for $149 until February 14th (Valentine’s Day gift idea, anyone?), after which the price increases to $249. We can’t wait to see what people do with this thing The included gestures at first use seem to be very powerful and comprehensive- developed by BT and Richie Hawtin, but there’s clearly plenty more to be unlocked and discovered by users who want to develop their own. Gestures are triggered by MIDI input into your DAW – at NAMM we saw the plug-in being used with a Novation keyboard, but the possibilities for creative activation of effects are clearly one of the most exciting elements of Stutter Edit (personally, I’m dying to try it out with a custom Midifighter).īeat Repeat’s gestures range from the likes of a super simple beat repeat to amazingly complex series of echos and pitch-modulations, that happen over the course of the timeline. Stutter Edit is build around a continuously live sampling engine that holds and stores a loop of playing audio while applying to that loop a series of effect and timeline presets, known as gestures. Stutter Edit, iZotope’s brand new effects instrument, designed by BT, empowers live performers to easily play intelligent and effects that allow realtime remixing and manipulation in your favorite DAW or VST Host. Live effects units have long lacked the ability to intelligently manipulate audio- at most, they source their parameters based on a MIDI clock or auto-detect BPM on a mixer. He may have struck gold by joining forces with iZotope and producing “Stutter Edit”, a brand new plug-in that is giving DJs more musical destruction power per square inch than a military salvo. Renowned electronic producer and composer BT has been working on designing his own personal glitch edit hardware and software for years, in what one could say is his quest to find the perfect glitch. It’s not only easy to do, but really fun when connected to a MIDI controller for instant cut up mayhem. Ever since Aphex Twin, glitches and stutters have been the preferred form of interrupting a musical flow for artistic and rhythmic effect. EDM has been bathed in stutter edits for years.
