The stutter edit, or stutter effect, is the rhythmic repetition of small fragments of audio, occurring as the common 16th note repetition, but also as 64th notes and beyond, with layers of digital signal processing operations in a rhythmic fashion based on the overall length of the host tempo.[1][2] The Stutter Edit audio software VST plug-in implements forms of granular synthesis, sample retrigger, and various effects to create a certain audible manipulation of the sound run through it, in which fragments of audio are repeated in rhythmic intervals.[3] The plug-in allows musicians to manipulate audio in real time, slicing audio into small fragments and sequences the pieces into rhythmic effects, recreating techniques that formerly took hours to do in the studio.[4] Electronic musician Brian Transeau (known as BT) is widely recognized for pioneering the stutter edit as a musical technique; he developed, coined the term, and holds multiple patents for the Stutter Edit software plug-in.[5][6][7][8]
A stutter edit "contains a single segment of audio repeated a number of times, giving a performance a decidedly digital flavor."[9] Stutter edits can go beyond 2,048th notes and can be measured in milliseconds, with layers of digital signal processing operations in a rhythmic fashion, and an individual note potentially containing within it many short fragments of sound.[10] Above a certain point, these repetitions transition from rhythmic to tonal frequencies, making musical notes out of the repeated audio.[11] These extremely short, fast groups of notes are often placed into the spacing of an eighth or sixteenth note in an otherwise "normal" bar, creating rhythmic accenting and patterns that call attention to a particular section. These patterns can be placed at the beginning of a bar, or towards the end for a more syncopated sound. One example is in the second verse of "Drop It Like It's Hot", Snoop Dogg mentions a DJ cut followed by a stutter edit and turntable scratch in reply.[12]
Transeau designed the plug-in to automate the arduous process of breaking audio into micro fragments and using them for new sounds, after experimenting with early versions of the software in his studio and in live performances.[8][14] Around 2006, Transeau formed the software company Sonik Architects to develop the Stutter Edit plug-in and related tools.[3][15] In 2010, Sonik Architects was acquired by iZotope,[16] and in January 2011, the Stutter Edit plug-in, based on Transeau's patented technique, was released by iZotope and Transeau.[17][18][2][19] It works by constantly sampling the incoming audio and storing it in a buffer, so that it can be used for repeating short loops or slices, with everything automatically sync'ed to the host tempo. Effects are applied using "Gestures", made up of one or more effects modules or a noise generator, each tied to a single MIDI note. It can be used for live laptop sets or DJing, or in the studio.[1] BreakTweaker, a drum sequencer for beat layering, programming and composition that allows the user to manipulate audio at a micro level, was released by iZotope soon after.[3]
So I used to use Stutter Edit fine in Logic Pro years ago, recently purchased Logic Pro X & iZotope's Music bundle with the latest version of Stutter Edit and a bunch of other goodies (BreakTweaker I'm excited about, installed that one but says its a demo when I go to use it in Logic, even though it says its authorized in the iZotope product portal).
Anyway, I installed Stutter Edit, and first I was having a problem getting it to appear in the MIDI Controlled Effects, it was only under the Effects which doesn't help anyone. But I did some digging of my own, uninstalled Stutter Edit, deleted Logic's preferences, rebooted, and BINGO, Stutter Edit was now showing up in MIDI Controlled Effects after installing again. After a week of trying to figure it out, I was SO relieved... However, there is no sidechain in the plugin now! Usually there's a sidechain at the top right, but there is none. I know the plugin works because when i press keys on my keyboard, I see Stutter Edit working. But I can't hear anything because I can't link it to any audio sources without the sidechain...
Someone, please HELP! I'm dying of frustration and support hasn't replied in about a week. Im taking a music production course currently and wanted to use it on my current project due tomorrow night, but that doesn't look likely at this point..
i just installed stutter edit last night, and got it working, it needs to be added as a software instrument with its own midi notes and a sidechain to the audio it's modifying. there's a quick howto for logic when you first open the plug in.
not entirely sure if using it in MIDI FX is where it should be., because you can't get a side chain from the same track in itself, MIDI FX work directly on the track being effected, Stutter Edit needs midi input on its own channel to apply its effects to the side chain source .
That should be possible.
You have to create a Group track and a new stereo Audio track to record upon. Route the instrument channel to the Group track, then the Group track to the Audio track. (In Cubase 13 the Group track would no longer be necessary.)
The independent track loop is a sort of mini-cycle, affecting only the edited part. When the loop is activated, the events in the parts within the loop are repeated continuously and completely independent. Other events (on other tracks) are played...
On Stutter - do you have any tips on the set up? So many of the settings/gestures are extreme but fun for one or two bars, I just wondered if you have any sort of tips on things that work for you? Or less extreme settings. The ones with 1/16 note seem the best to me.
Sorry, to answer your question - previously I just wanted a long audio track that I would listen to can cut out the cool bits after say a 15 minute playing session trying all the different gestures out one bar at a time.
I can't comment on the GUI because I haven't played with it yet. However I only needed to authorize it once in the iZotope Product Portal. And it loaded in Cubase fine with no additional authorizations required. I used the iZotope authorization not iLok. Do you have a nonstandard installatiion?
After entering the S/N I obtained from Plugin Boutique, the izotope Product Portal registered my license in my iLok. I then installed the software and, when that completed, was asked to register again (which I tried doing but failed b/c I had just done that). Then I loaded the plugin in Cubase and a pop-up appeared saying I had to register (third time). So I tried doing it to my iLok, but that failed (second failure), so I unticked the iLok box and tried again and it finally worked. After all that I was greated by a poorly-designed GUI with a really crappy preset browser (compared to version 1). So at this point I'm done with izotope; I have everything I want from them and am not willing to go through all this hassle when there are so many talented developers out there.
And while I'm complaining, WTH happend to the Plugin Boutique site? It used to be so easy to make a purchase there; they were my primary choice for plugins. But now you have to click, click, click your way through numerous superflous screens just to buy something. Why?!?
@locrian IIRC, izotope stuff gives us at least three methods for authorizing: ilok, disk or registry. Each of them has own quirks, for example I didn't want registry entries so I went for disk but it failed. Turned out it tries to write a file in the top C:\ directory but didn't have enough permission to do that. So I started Cakewalk as administrator for that and it worked. They don't give much hint about it, I admit.
I realize I may be the oddball here, but, I actually prefer putting all my licences on an iLok since I can just uplug it from my desktop and then plug it into my laptop when I'm away from my studio. It works great!
I do understand your point about portability though, as my Waves plugins and their silly 1-seat rule (without WUP) prompted me to go with their USB flash drive license plan. Just need to remember to take it with when I'm away!
Sigh. Yeah, I really wanted to like Stutter Edit 2, I thought it would be the way to level up on glitch and stutter effects. Had a hard time doing anything but browsing presets, so I took advantage of a trial membership at Producertech to take their course. Even after finishing the course, I still don't use it with anything but the presets, and infrequently at that. If one were to master it, it would be really powerful, but I pretty much just use stutters and glitches as a bit of seasoning in my ambient tracks, Chris Zippel style. A deep dive doesn't seem worth it at the moment.
I agree about the UI and preset browser. Even just following along in the course, I kept getting into situations where none of the controls would move. I think it was behaving as designed, but it's poor design to let your users get stuck in potholes.
One issue I found with Cakewalk is that the note names are 2 octaves off from what Cakewalk uses. No biggie if you put a MIDI transposer plug-in on the track, but something to be aware of if you can't get it to do anything.
