Join J. Scott Giaquinta for an in-depth discussion in this video Glitch principles, part of EDM Production Techniques: Extreme Sound Mangling.
- A glitch by definition is an undesired transition…that occurs before the signal settles to its intended value.…In other words, it's an electrical pulse or short duration…that is usually the result of a fault or design error…particularly in a digital circuit.…But is it an error if it sounds cool?…I think not.…Glitch effects have permeated almost every kind…of modern electronic music…and are some of the most sought after sound these days.…They're generated by using countless methods…and can't really be described in any particular way.…What do glitches sound like?…Let me show you.…
(glitched speech)…We can also create glitches by using pitch shifting…along with time stretching.…(glitched music)…Stutter effects are in their very basic element,…repetitive breaks in audio.…
These can range from super simple volume getting…to very complex rhythms glazed over with multiple effects,…we won't get into very complex stutters in this course…but this is definitely a topic that could fill…an entire course on its own.…In this chapter, we'll explore how to use glitch effects…
