I've been experimenting with getting some glitchy sounds:

[The beginning is kind of off, I think; it picks up around 0:55.]

Any of you guys do this sort of thing? Care to share any methods to get some cool glitchy sounds?

Nice

Yea I do glitchy stuff all the time in most of my productions, a lot in ambient work. Its really fun and makes good and insane fx

Yeah, it is a lot of fun. I like the intense attention to detail, all the different effects packed into small spaces.

I don't do much exclusive glitch, but I like to throw in the occasional effects sometimes to speed things along. It's fun stuff.

As long as it's God fearing glitching then yes. The good lord giveth and the good lord chops up wav files.

You're only cool if you glitch manually. If you're totally gay like me. You use dBlue Glitch like a little whore.

I get the tape, cut it up, then stick it back together with some ruber cement,
Now thats glitching!

...Ok im a Ableton whore.

Yeah, I've been doing all the stuff manually. It's pretty time-consuming, but it's also a cool exercise to pay attention to such short chunks of sound and see what you can make of them.

Glitch is my middle name. But I think everybody here knew that.

I've been trying to come up with a tutorial/guide of sorts, but so far I haven't been able to condense it into anything readable since there are so many parameters and automations to tweak and operations to perform.

Eventually I'll figure out how the hell to use crusherX, and then my entire tracks will be nothing but glitches!

Digi: I don't agree with writing glitch tutorials...they simply can't be written because of many factors...one of them you have already written, the others include the fact that no-one will do the same glitching, even given the same sample to glitch...I mean...it's really personal about what kind of sonic damage you wanna do to it...and that can't be written in a tutorial...not that I wouldn't want to hear about your methods, though!

the other things is, that there is just such a lot of things to take care of when you're making glitches that you propably wouldn't be able to condensate all that knowledge and instinct into text only...and if you'd the tutorial would be thousands pages long ... (who would read it then, anyway?)


just my two...(whatever)

Thank you!

Glitch are just a series of effects used creatively. But thats not very easy to achieve, so lots of practice and perfect knowledge of the tools at your disposal is needed.
Glitch, imo, is best used when it creates rythm and melody, not random, brainbusting DnB glitches.

That's all true - still, nobody really does anything the same way as anybody else so I'm not sure that glitches are so different in that respect.

Rest assured that I won't post a crap tutorial - if it can't be done, it can't be done.

I will say one thing: The really tricky/difficult part of glitching is not the how, but the what. That's why gates and plugins and dBlue glitch and so on can only take you so far, and will never accomplish a Hybrid/BT style of glitch. Not that said tools aren't without their charm, just that they're easy to recognize and don't really sound personalized.

While dblue glitch gets over-used. It's great for live performance stuff. I'm getting a bunch of gear together to do some live shows.

It will be a lot of fun to just tweak and fuck shit up real time stuff.


I do love dblue glitch. The best way to make unique stuff out of glitch I've found. Is to bounce whatever you did in glitch. Do a bunch of random seed stuff. Bounce again.

Then go in and manually piece together the stuff you like. It puts your own personal flair to what you're tweaking, and makes it fun. The nice thing about dblue glitch? Instant gratification. The drawbacks of course with that is that if you just use nothing but glitch, it's like "wow... wonder what he's using."

I was listening to an Infected Mushroom track the other day, and I was able to spot a certain effect as dblue Glitch. After hearing it enough in my own tracks and experiments, it was really easy to pick it out.

Which brings me to a more esoteric/hippie rambling. We are making MUSIC with computers. Not music made by COMPUTERS.

Blah!
