How to Use iZotope Stutter Edit 2 Remixing Plug-in

[@user-bd7lw6pz8d]

its mad that BT pioneered this technique and used in multiple film franchises and gaming as well, such underrated artist and a godfather of trance in north america

[@monkvolcano]

The truth is that aphex twin and squarepusher actually pioneered this technique. Not sure where everyone is coming up with this idea that he did. I guess it’s marketing hype.

[@user-bd7lw6pz8d]

@@monkvolcano never knew aphex twin and squarepusher done it first probably is a marketing idea but they are amazing artists anyway

[@rainbowkittycat627]

Yah, not bt. These kinds of studders and edits were around sense the early 90s, look up idm if intrested. Bt's great, but he didn't really get idm-y untill the 2000s, when Aphex Twin was doing that for a decade. By the 2000s, people were already pushing this effect to its extreme with breakcore and glitchcore. (look up songs about my cats and greg hates car culture by venetian snares if intrested)

[@hlqa7938]

Not only not user friendly, but sometimes da same fx works really great n other times it sounds nothing like when it worked great

[@jdust360sbp]

One of my favorite plugins! Use this all the time

[@easyneal]

Stutter edit 2 is by far the easiest to set up with a midi keyboard. I've tried all the major stutter plugins. This already has fully made mappings that can be easily loaded. Such a thoughtful addition. It's my go to.

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

Would you suggest any YT video to help me start using Stutter edit...Thanks

[@HilaryBurtMusic]

Really useful thanks! Watched a few other vids before this and couldn't get any sound. Then the first thing you said was check it's in auto mode rather than midi. As soon as I knew this, I was away! Thanks for clarity.

[@thedeucecake]

Underrated plug-in. Love it.

[@HaasanBarclay]

Is there a simple way to create a new bank with pre-made gestures? Or a way to set favorite gestures so I can come back to them later??

[@shrinktfit]

Same question!!!

[@conasca]

The UI definitely needs to be simplified

[@ritchxmusic]

100%

[@wheretheT4Tgirlies]

Idk prolly just learn it

[@conasca]

@@wheretheT4Tgirlies good idea, thanks.

[@Prophet44-o4b]

It's already pretty simple, Alot of the windows are the same or just compartmentalized versions of other features.

[@BlakePeak]

You definitely should just stick to the OneKnob series by Waves if you can’t handle UIs

[@robnzombiz]

For me its a struggle to set the length of the stutter effect to go according to the length of the part of the song I want to hear the effect in

[@moksh8]

This plugin would’ve been better served with a simpler intuitive UI keeping UX (user experience) in mind. I’ve tried using it after searching for tutorials, since this tutorial was non-existent, and frankly it’s not the way the product should be cleared for release. I don’t mean any offense to the creators.

[@mrh9685]

Agree 100%. It's just not a user friendly experience at all. Compare it to the Step FX in logic and it stands out as being just too awkward to use.

[@drewaforbes]

I agree as well; there's only a few tools I even use with this plugin (because I've taken the time to learn them) and I really only want it for quick stuttery sequencing (which is I why I mainly use some of the presets), but if it was simpler, I'd probably be grabbing this tool a bunch.

[@GTSongwriter]

It's probably why it goes on sale for $10.00 ... Nobody's buying it.

[@UmaRecordings]

How do you route it if you just want to manipulate a single midi track?

[@UmaRecordings]

How do you use it on midi track? Route it from midi to midi?

[@rhandeymaahrsch2151]

I really love Stutter Edit 2. At first it looked confusing, but it really isn’t. The only thing that annoys me is that some of the effects sound very different when exported at different sample rates. For example working in 44.1 and exporting the song in 96kHz. Bug or feature?

[@ELLIOT8209]

I record them on a new track instead of bouncing or exporting

[@aricunono6272]

Like the user name

[@rhandeymaahrsch2151]

@@ELLIOT8209 I think I get what you mean, but that would defeat the purpose of exporting the song at a higher sample rate, especially if I use Stutter Edit on the master bus.

[@ELLIOT8209]

@@rhandeymaahrsch2151 the track can still print info from the master or main if you set the input to master. Then export the track

[@jackstheraptor2791]

Did not see anything about adjusting the duration of the effects running. Is that 2 bar the limit of duration? In some presets you cannot increase the duration of stutter section because it's off. I do not understand why it should be a limit for how long the effects going to run. Or am I mistaking or missing something here? there is not much you can chain together in 2 bars. What if someone want's to add non repitive effects to a 16 or 32 bar riser or uplifer sample?

[@mihu.]

Can you not do all of this with just Ableton stock plugins? I mean, I get it's all in the same package, but still.

[@RenevolutionAccount]

brilliant and best Video - thanks

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

Bro, do you have video to get handson of Ableton Intro? Thanks in advance

[@DelasVC]

Is there a way to set stutter 2 up so that I can only grab the wet signal from a separate bus? I want to record it and then cut out only bits and pieces adding them to my drum loop - however that is not always practicable if I just record stutter running on top of a drum loop, I need the separate wet signal only..

[@Grimguapo]

this is not working for me im not using a meyboard though, it wotn show up in my master out, do I need a keyboard to use the midi mode?

[@djsugarbear6079]

In the MIDI tutorials not all DAWS are listed. Not everyone uses the DAWS listed on the list. How’s the mid set up for MOTU DP?

[@franksilval]

Very useful tutorial...Thank you brother ...Heaven bless you

[@drewaforbes]

Also, at 4:52, is it possible to macro it like "Dry/Wet" instead of "Device On?" and/or would you just have to "Configure" it from parameters inside of Stutter Edit 2 for each individual effect? In other words, is there a Stutter Edit 2 Master Dry/Wet to make it easy to interpolate a Macro between the dry and wet signal of the entire plugin?

[@welliott]

Nope. No simple wet dry. And no way to automate (at least in Ableton). SE2 doesn't let you assign parameters to MIDI. After 6 or 7 hours, I just gave up. Izotope's UI always suck. I don't know why I keep thinking I'll like a new product they release.

[@drewaforbes]

@@welliott dang :(( Yeah I ended up just resampling it and then cutting where I didn’t want to automate but yeah that aspect of it is a pain, oof :(

[@welliott]

@@drewaforbes that makes me feel better cuz that's exactly what I ended up doing. You're right it's a pain

[@KnzoVortex]

@@welliott Not an Ableton user, but wouldn't it be easiest to just throw it in a chain and modulate the Dry/Wet of the chain? Or do some other similar type of routing configuration if you want it to look cleaner (in my daw there's an "Audio In" device where you could just route the any plugin from any track onto the device and it basically works as a mix knob between the input sound before it and the sound that you routed to the plugin)

Damn BT made this plug in? wild ....

[@GTSongwriter]

The UI needs to be able to have color changes. I'd like mine green.

[@Lolgkvsatcz]

Lionel Richie omg 😱

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

Got this at a discounted rate in an offer by plugin boutique... But using it isn't pleasing at all. Need to closely review the tutorial.

[@kevinschoch6833]

I had more than one hour to acitivate stutter edit 2 yet no idea where the VST file is... come on iZotope you can do that better!

[@someguyfromtheinternet5102]

This dude look like drake and bob ross

[@Vuyccbvuj]

Does this work with trance?

[@deerstreamstudio]

This plugin is so confusing for me. I guess I just need to spend more time studying it.

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

Same with me bro...

[@welliott]

I've spent HOURS. Maybe like 10 hours. It's so confusing. I even worked with Izotope support and I literally have an email from them saying you can't automate any parameter in your DAW. That's absolutely horrible. Only plugin I own where I can't automate parameters.

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

@@welliott That's very strange... Am not an expert...But then what's the purpose of this plugin if no parameters can be automated...?

[@welliott]

@@shreepadgandhi6739 you can push MIDI keys to change presets. But you can't automate any parameters.

[@shreepadgandhi6739]

@@welliott thx... I need this stutter effect but yet not able to customize it to my imagination...Struggling...😀

[@HenrysPokeCorner]

There’s a reason why people use portal. There’s no reason why it needs to be this complicated

[@mcgritty8842]

Auto mode is a lie. Only works half the time

[@Reggi_Sample]

Overly complex for a simple effect. Il stick to the MPC XYFX or Air Transfuser 2s beat cutter

[@ritchxmusic]

The skin really sucks on this and is VERY hard to work with. I wish it had a more easy skin which was easier to use.... Even version 1 was WWAAAAY better. Give us the ability of custom skins

[@emmstudios1]

Sorry but pretty boring to watch..

[@spunkadellic]

This is an audio plug-in demonstration and tutorial. Some may find it on the banal side, but for others who are looking to understand and operate a glitch type audio manipulation device, they might find it useful. Entertaining even.
