IZOTOPE Stutter Edit 2

Product overview

iZotope Stutter Edit 2 lets you create the famous stutter editing effect with one button to slice and dice your samples, tracks and mixes: a bottomless well of inspiration in a single plug-in.

Slice, dice and glitch up your tracks with unique effects, from trap-inspired rhythms to cinematic sweeps and seamless transitions. Stutter Edit 2 comes loaded with hundreds of professionally crafted Gestures, preset banks designed to create intricate stutter and glitch effects, all with pinpoint control.

Add colour, movement and mayhem to every Gesture with a powerful suite of 11 effects. Set a parameter range and Stutter Edit 2 animates the effect in sync with your Gesture; push it further with Time-Variant Modifiers to sweep reverb tails, pump gates and pans, and make distortion melt in real time.

Stutter Edit 2 is a playable effect. Use Auto mode to trigger and audition Gestures instantly with one button, or plug in a MIDI keyboard to map Gestures to keys and fire off complex effects in real time, in the studio or live on stage.

iZotope Stutter Edit 2: frequently asked questions

What is Stutter Edit 2?

A creative glitch effect plug-in that slices audio into rhythmic patterns, builds tension with Gestures and adds complex movement to your tracks, turning audio into micro-rhythmic textures and transitions in real time.

Is it for beginners or professional producers?

Both. Beginners can use Auto mode to trigger effects instantly, while professionals can use the Curve Editor and MIDI triggering to design highly specific Time-Variant Modifiers.

How do I set up Stutter Edit 2?

Insert it as an effect on your audio track, then create a MIDI track that sends notes to the plug-in. MIDI triggering lets you activate different Gestures across your keyboard for live performance or studio automation.

Do I need a MIDI keyboard?

No. Auto mode triggers any Gesture with one button. A MIDI keyboard lets you perform the effects like an instrument.

AAX, AU and VST3, 64-bit only. Full system requirements and supported hosts are confirmed with your quotation.
