   Okay, so after like a bajillion years, BT has finally released his 'Stutter Edit' as a plugin designed by iZotope.

   What's everybody's opinions on this? Personally I think the stutter effect has still got some mileage in it, and I like the fact you can trigger this one via MIDI. I know there was Tim Exile's 'The Finger' as well, but honestly after playing around with it... it was fucking terrible.
   However, I know some of you are well over the fad.

   Opinions, everyone?

   WILL PROBABLY PISS YOU OFF.

   checked most of the video

   i skipped around because it seemed to reassure my assumption

   my initial assumption from the title was that this technique is similar to something i started doing before i even attempted making songs... before i ever had a synthesizer

   2 different things i did with just a regular sound editor.. inserting spaces of differing length into sounds... or cutting out chunks of sounds

   all of this was very tedious and would've been exacting work for someone wanting things very specific

   i feel like my exploration is cheapened by this program.. yet think the program is completely fucking badass because to get such effects as I've had would be painful and zero fun.. especially since this is around.. but so much more can be done with some professional programming and integration know how

   when you think about the stutter effect it is really simple

   thats fine..

   but i think it is useful and will always continue to be so... its the nature of the beast... a stutter is rythmic and humans and rhythm have a long history

   hmm..so we get to buy BT's hand me down after all his ego talking bullshit through the years. I'm totally going to pirate this thing just to spite him.

   I like the stutters and glitches, but I personally like to use grain samplers or buffer synths. You can find tons of these for free and they work great and each one sounds different. I love the Destroy FX stuff.

   The important thing to me in using these tools is not to make them the highlight of your music. Make good music and then use this to spice things up and make enjoyable trainwrecks.

   @ Soillodge - Yeah, Buffer Override is a totally kickass effect. Especially as it lets you retrigger way into ludicrous audible ranges to the point where it starts behaving like a bitcrusher :)

   p.s. The reason I brought this one up is because it's one of the only ones geared towards live performance as opposed to meticulous tweaking, and for me, being able to jam with it on a keyboard could potentially make it a lot more inspiring and fun to use.

   I don't see this doing anything that ableton live hasn't been doing for a while now with beat repeat and racks. I guess it's cool if you're not a Live user though.

   An awesome, awesome freeware version of what can only be the same sort of thing:
   http://illformed.org/plugins/glitch/

   Also fl studio's gross beat does a very similar thing. I loveee stuttery effects, and think it really adds something to music so I'll definitely try this out, but as Soil said, it shouldn't become the highlight, which this seems to infer it is.

   More crap gimmick software. Put it on the shelf next to the Dubstep Wub Bass synthesizers. Does anyone care about musical composition anymore?

    Haha! Where's the Phill Colins gated snare reverb plugin? Where's the Skinny Puppy retro horror movie sample beatbox?

    @DIGIFLESH No I am afraid that composition has gone the way of the Dodo. And besides having chops with musical composition isn't what gets you noticed anymore. Auto-tune and stutters and wobble-bass are candy to the sweet-tooth of bad taste but that IMO is what sells and what people want now.

    It is quite strange isn't it?

    I can appreciate someone could possibly do something cool with this BT plugin.

    I'm just not quite sure what the point is... I just don't understand the concept of taking shortcuts... If you tried to make your own stutter edits manually maybe you would have more of a unique stutter sound and come up with your own technique... Then it would become "art"... Even if the result isn't terribly original atleast hard work went into making it...

    But maybe people don't appreciate hard work either :)

    I don't like anything that doesn't have a 4/4 beat and samples from fight club. I also refuse to listen to anything which isn't about machines taking over or a picture of barbedwire going into a razor blade covered in diesel.

    From what I can tell, it seems to be basically an automatic version of dbglitch, with midi support and a few extra delayey things. I think its for the kinda person who wants to just do crazy effects once in a while but doesn't want to think about it/doesn't do it a lot.

    I can see it being cool if use as some kind of a textural effect in a layered track... But I think people are going to feature it as a lead... Chicks love stutter effects... Sign me up!

    I'm waiting for the wave of ultra stuttery tracks to flood Soundcloud from all the dope "producers"

    :P

    @DIGIFLESH A discussion of artistic merit is likely way off topic here but I will say this. Many people are taking this technological liberation and working to make it into art with their hard work. Then there is the majority of people who are spray painting grafitti with it in hopes it will be mistaken as art.

    But I do agree with you that the person who puts effort into doing a stutter without the assistance of a program to do it for them has a better chance at doing something unique within the limited arena of stuttering.

    The band Numb was the 1st music I have heard with stuttering and that was in the early 90s. Frankly it is a wonder that it has finally caught on with the mainstream. And look at the date. With that much temporal lag behind an innovation it is easy to imagine that the person who actually does something new and unique with stuttering may spawn a rage some 20 or so years from now. ;-)

    @Undercult I like things covered with kerosene better ;-)

    I'm going to use it for basses and pads as well. I'm going to set them all at different tempo's (not really, everything is going to be at 140 and 4/4) and make it a new genre called 'grindstuttergorerial'.
    And people will come up to me in the street and say is that the founder of GSGR? and I'll say yes and they'll ask for my autograph and OgRe will come upto me and say you are amazing and I'll say ok you are good too and he'll say do you want to be in my band and I'll say no because its not GSGR and he'll say oh ok I wasn't good enough anyway and I'll go ok bye I need to get on my private jet now.

    Well that particular GF got wise after being invited to his dressing room because she needed me to get her back to Philly from NYC when the after-party was over. However I did totally lose a GF to the bastard drummer of Gary Numan's band back in '01. I hope the bastard never shows his face around me again. And that girl, well, I'm sure she wasn't invited back to Jolly old England to be his wife so she got what she deserved.
