Quick way to create the stutter effect?

[Paul Montgomery]

I usually drag and select all tracks  and delete every other measure for this particular effect to create blank spaces in multiple tracks to create the stutter effect.  Is there a quick and easy way to achieve this or is what I'm doing pretty much it?

I've developed a plugin that does exactly that.  I created it for myself and have given it out for free.  You can download it here: https://www.kvraudio.com/product/lsgate-by-littlestudios.  Just click the download link to the right.  It can do some cool things, stutters, tremolo or create rhythmic patterns.  It syncs to the host and uses musical note values.  Let me know what you think or if you have any questions or if you have trouble getting it to work properly.  There's a user manual included in the .zip file that explains all the functions.

You can also use the draw tool to draw square waves and other periodic waveforms. These can modulate level, panning, etc.

is this not the greatest place???

Only in Cakewalk have I run into this issue.  Once you insert LSGate on a track go to the plugin properties as shown in the picture below:

Once the plugin properties dialog box opens, make sure the following check boxes are checked:

Once the prior steps have taken place, remove the plugin from the track and re-insert it.  This only needs to be done once and only once.  The plugin will function as expected from now on.

Without vst I would use cut, paste, draw tools or loop selected region.

Thanks, I'll try the plugin and the other ideas.

Tried the draw tool wich does the trick. Thanks. Just had to figure out that the period of the sinus, saw etc equals your snapsettings.

If you're after simple pulsating rhythms, as opposed to being sequenced, any tremolo plugin will do the trick. Create a bus, route all the tracks to it that you want to effect this way, and insert the effect on the bus. Meldaproduction has a free one that lets you morph the LFO waveform. Cakewalk's own Sonitus Modulator can do it, too.
