simplest way to do stuttery-glitch effects?

[wilx]

I've got supatrigger, buffer overide, and a whole heap of nice toys for this sort of thing, but I want to do something more specific.

 

I want to stutter the volume on the master output track in Logic - just on/off with no inbetween.

 

I could do this with automation, but it's time-consuming and hard to get precisely right.

I tried using a MIDI gate, but get stuck when I have to set the output of a MIDI track to the input of the gate - this doesn't seem possible. Although it surely must be?

 

maybe the environment could help?

If that's a possibility in your workflow, what I would do is first bounce down your mix, then reimport it. Cut a Region of the ending, and slice it using Option+scissors.

How about automating the Tremolo pluggin? You have to set the stereophase to 0 so it's not switching L to R. You could automate the bypass and the rate. You can sync to the tempo easily this way too.

yes, apple+option and scissors will do auto cuts. if u cut right on the measure of the 1st measire of the file, itll auto cut on everymeasure. and if u cut the 1st 16th note then it will cut 16th note for the whole region. then u just mute with (m) and create cool patterns.

then u just mute with (m) and create cool patterns.

Right, or for stuttering what I do is select all the slices and resize to make them shorter.

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted, with minimum fuss.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll try them all out and see what I come up with.

This is really useful for these kind of situations. Just drag and drop your automation data assigned to whatever parameter you want....

Kind of off topic, but.. and you probably don't even remember this post, but..

 

Do you recommend anything in particular from keyfax?

I know this thread is months and months old and stale, but I thought I'd post this great little free stutter AU, aptly titled Stutter.

Try using a really s#!+ computer with not enough Ram - until I got my macbook pro my machine was always stuttering and glitching.
