I do not really know what to say about this one because I don't know a lot about it but I own the plugin and I am starting to get into it but its still one of my favorite Illformed plugins I own currently

chillproductions

Great usability

Illformed a.k.a. dBlue is a former member of Chill Productions. Glitch2 is a very useful tool for creating stutters, tape stops, gating, etc. We endorse this plugin!

TAPE STOP!!!

I love the tape stop effect in Glitch 2. Its the only thing i use on it and it's soooo worth it.

juniorprimate

once you get it, it's pretty cool

At first I thought this was a little restrictive... then I learned how to use it. I still only really use this to create subtle effects on a track but I really like it for that purpose.

"It was originally titled "Stay A While" but, coincidentally, he had just released a remix by the same name. So, we decided to go with "Secrets." It went on to become the biggest record of my career, and a huge milestone having collaborated with a legend of the genre. I'm thankful." - KSHMR. Glitch 2 is one of the plugins used on this track.
