Critic Reviews

Izotope Stutter Edit

soundonsound.com

iZotope Stutter Edit is lauded for its innovative real-time effects, co-developed with BT. It's a versatile tool for electronic and dance music, excelling in live and studio settings with its intuitive MIDI-triggered Gestures. The seamless tempo synchronization and stunning visual feedback make it a standout. However, the uncustomizable Global Filter and a slightly cumbersome preset manager are minor drawbacks. Overall, it's a powerful plug-in for dynamic audio manipulation.

ALL THE DANG!!!

I had some very high expectations from this very unique VST and I was not let down. BT & iZotope got together to bring us a tool that can either gently accent or utterly destroy any audio from instruments, to samples, to vocals. I have used it in every project ever since I purchased it and I expect to be using it extensively in the future.

TOP NOTCH!!

I try and avoid the very clever and complex presets as they are addictive and I would certainly misuse ha ha ... Along with my selection of noise mangling apps this site proudly amongst . Russell :)

pretty sweet

Just recently purchased this and I love it especially for electronic music for adding glitchy/stutter type edits. Definitely recommend this to anyone that's looking to add glitches/stutters to their music/tracks.

Not quite what I was hoping for.

I'm going to need to practice with this one, because it is basically intended as a live performance/remixing tool. You have to work it in real time to get the best results.

Pretty cool manipulation tool

Good for creating some neat effects in a fast efficient way. Sounds really good -- not essential but a useful tool all the same.

This is seriously the cats meow!

"These are some crazy edits, and to do that, I used iZotope Stutter, and that's a really funny plugin, I compare it a little bit to the (Sugar Bytes) Effectrix, but it... works different. You can just scroll with them, you can just... scroll through the presets while it's playing." (32:05)

Do you use any other iZotope instruments and/or effects plugins? If so, which ones?

I also use **Stutter Edit **which I love and RX which is very useful. I´m also just getting into BreakTweaker which is a lot of fun and fast. Speed is key, if I have to spend too long looking at a tiny plug-in window I just lose interest and do something else like surf the net.
