   a live stutter?

   as in, you've got a track playing with this effect on it and you set the duration and the press some kind of "engage" and it will loop for your set duration from the exact point you pressed "engage", and lasts as long as the "engage" is being pressed, and then when you let go it will go back to the track but where the track duration is up to rather than where you engaged.

   I'm absolutely shite at explaining things today, but do you get what I mean? Where you can stutter the track rhythmically, like reeditting the song live. I think it would be a great live or dj effect.

   infact, i daresay it would be a big part of my live show to "liven up" the pre recorded tracks.

   I know software wise that you can do that with Dblue Glitch. Just crank down all the other effects and program the step sequencer to trigger on whatever steps you want.

   thanks!

   they seem like very close to what I'm after.

   funny thing is that I want something simpler than that. Just a knob for duration and a "go" button.

   do either of you have videos or similar so I can judge for myself if they fit what I'm after?

   That, too.

   Specifically the plug's called DBx Buffer Override. I discovered it myself when I was looking for something that's good for FX breaks and whatnot.

   Anyhow i'm gonna see if there's a vid of glitch on youtube.

   There we go. Not really as simple as you are wanting though the interface is easy enough. It's kind of like those aphex twin drum edits, but could be used for your purposes as well. Also, it's free.

   i've had a short look at the glitch video (slow internet), and it looks like i could probably grab one of the many functions, assign it to a couple of knobs and do something close to what I intended.

   the thing is, i don't want too much micro stuttering, I'm more after a macro effect where I can alter the drum rhythms, even if its a bit clumsy.

   i swear I've seen a DJ do this. Maybe it was Clark, and maybe he was doing it with a delay pedal or an effect on his turntable. I dunno, my brainwaves are so vivid and specific, and since its my live setup I want to have it simple and exactly how I envision.

   TRAKTOR can do this as an effect..or he used a Zero 8 :-)

   with a TT you must be a hell of a beatjuggler to achieve this :-)

    try audiodamage's replicant, i like it much more than dblue glitch, it has a simple sequencer and you can "force" stutter i think

    @M4RC

    i downloaded a freewear version of Buffer override...

    hang on...

    sorry, i was about to say "and its not quite what I'm after" and then half way through writing this reply, I decided to assign the "Buffer Devisor" to a knob on my MIDI controller, and then assign the bypass of the effect to another, and presto! I got a really great effect! i stood up and had a proper jam with it, it was fantastic!

    Its not tempo synced, or anything even near that, but its just so much fun! thanks heaps!

    dBlue Glitch can do exactly what you want...you just have to tweek the parameters to work on a bar level rather than a beat or less level. It also maps to MIDI brilliantly.

    There is also something called Beat Repeat in Ableton Live that has a similar effect.

    Pioneer CDJ1000s have good on the fly looping too, as does Traktor.

    And of course the Kaoss Pads and Atomizer on the Virus are good if you have the hardware.

    Though tbh I think unless you need the hardware, the dBlue Glitch is the best option. Play with the parameters and learn to use it, it can do exactly what you want and also introduce some randomness into the mix, so you are never sure exactly what it's going to do (or when) if you want that. It's a great little piece of software...my only advice is don't overuse it because it gets tired quickly like those DJ's who insist on doing filter sweeps on EVERY song. But it is very powerful if you get under the hood and definitely deserves some time invested in learning how to use it properly.

    Yeah.

    I love Glitch.

    I hate hearing people just drop it unmodified on a drum loop.

    lol.

    That is my point exactly! If you use it subtly it can be great at adding that little 'something' to a track but I have heard it used 'as is' on tracks and it gets very tired very quickly. But it is hugely powerful when you start getting into the automation and using it as an instrument. I've used it on quite a few releases in one way or other, drum loops, synth parts, vocal lines.

    Default, on random, it's a) very obvious and b) can be a little bit too unpredictable. But hooked up to say a MIDI controller and used subtly it can really add some spice.

    @KryonikMessiah: I do.....i used it on the drum-fills in the Nachtmahr Remix *G*...it just fitted perfectly...so why change it...

    but I agree..if you leave it on a drum track without changing everything then it easily gets very boring...

    Hand chopping and re-arranging it piece by piece is still my preferred method. I like Beat Repeat in Ableton, Dblue Glitch and (especially) Buffer Override, but getting all OCD about it and hacking up the audio with 70 mouse clicks still feels the most genuine. Using the piano roll with Beatslicer in FL Studio and/or Simpler in Ableton are really effective too!

    Oh, how I love the stutters and skips!

    No offense meant. It's just usually a really obvious effect to me and i've heard a million Venetian Snares wannabes do nothing but what I just described. So it's more of a personal thing.
