This is where we are going to insert our glitch effect with the intent being that we are ultimately going to be splicing and dispersing the sections of our guitar track that we wish to have the glitch or stutter effect to this effected track. Below the guitar track I’ve inserted a blank audio track. This will probably be the case anyway if you are effecting the track before the final mix. You will want to make sure that the instrument that you wish to have effected or “glitched” is completely isolated. To get started, I’ve imported a song section into my DAW. The plugin that we will be using for the glitch effect is a free plugin called DBlue Glitch. This effect can of course be used on any instrument. For this tutorial I’m going to show how to get a popular “glitch” or “stutter” type effect on your guitar tracks.

Now that we’re able to cross-pollinate effects onto our guitars that would otherwise be exclusive to drums or synthesizers, it opens up a wider range of possibilities for a much more interesting musical journey. Here you can download the demo version or purchase Glitch 2.In recent years we’ve seen a heavier influx of electronic music flavors influencing genres of rock and metal. A demo version is also available, which is not limited in time, but no settings are stored and it periodically adds some noise. Glitch 2 is available for EUR 49.95 (plus VAT), for which you will receive all updates for free and you can use the plug-in unlimited on all platforms.
