iZotope today took its well-known and popular glitch multi-effect processor plugin Stutter Edit to the next level in version 2.
Stutter Edit 2 is a major update that includes many new features and improvements. The plugin was developed again in close collaboration with BT. One thing is immediately apparent: the somewhat cryptic GUI of the first version has been replaced by a completely new one, which makes it much easier to work with.
One of the highlights of Stutter Edit 2 is a new auto mode where your gestures will playback automatically so you can concentrate on fine-tuning your sound. If you’d rather use a keyboard for a live-performance feel, Stutter Edit 2 will guide you with a help system that detects your DAW and offers step-by-step instructions.
From simple trap patterns, cinematic sweeps, transitions, and everything in between, Stutter Edit 2 comes is full of new Gestures (presets) designed by BT and iZotope’s expert sound design team. Use Auto mode to audition Gestures to find the perfect match, and plug in your MIDI controller to automatically map gestures to your keys to fire off any combination of Gestures.
New Effects
Stutter Edit 2 also comes with brand new effects like a reverb or a chorus. The distortion module has been expanded with a new multi-band mode and new characters (grid, grime, or a combination of the two). Also, the lo-fi module has been improved that gives you now more deep bitcrushing and undersampling effects perfect for creating glitch sounds.
Set a Range for any parameter and Stutter Edit 2 will “move” that effect along with the Gesture. Add even more craziness using the new Time-Variant Modifiers—make your reverb tails sweep, your gates and pans pump, and your distortion disintegrate in time with your stutter edit. Effects can be bypassed and rearranged in any order, creating limitless possibilities for sonic madness.
