Vinyl or tape stop? I need help with creating a very brief "grind to a halt and restart" effect


Recommended Posts

Here's an example of what I'm trying to do, it's fast and smooth and fits the rhythm. I have multiple POWERFUL FX that do tape and vinyl stops and spin-ups, but this effect eludes me. No matter which one I use, it doesn't sound right rhythmically and I there's also something happening that isn't found in my standard tape stoppers:

I looked at some videos of Melda Production's MRhythmizer and MTransformer and they look like they can do that.

I have both of those, and have messed about with MRhythmizer in my quest. It probably can do it, I just haven't been able to figure out how. Much as I love MRhythmizer, I'm completely dependent on presets, because despite having it for years, and really wanting to incorporate stops and glitches in my own work, I remain innocent of any clue how to either create a new preset or even alter an existing one with clear intent. I've tried reading MeldaProduction's "documentation." I've tried watching video tutorials.

I also have Stutter Edit 2, as well as a number of other plug-ins that can do tape stops. No luck so far with any of them. I can get them to do what they do, which is simulate the sound of a tape deck stopping and restarting, but it's nowhere near the effect I want to create.

There's possibly something in the timing of it I'm not getting, and maybe some extra pitch manipulation. Been banging my head against it off and on for years.

Figured I'd throw it out to the hive mind. Thanks for replying.
