Vocal Stutter Effect with Samplr & Echo Pad
Author View comments Tags Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Echo-Pad New

This tutorial goes through the process I used to make the vocal stuttering effect you can hear at the beginning of the song ‘Shapes’. Apps used were Audiobus, Audioshare, Samplr, Echo Pad and Loopy.

The original vocal sample was created by using a hardware looper to record and resample the vocal multiple times, and the output was recorded as a dry signal into Ableton.

Note: The Audiobus used in the clip above is a beta version of Audiobus2.
