suddenly hold onto a repeating bar, then half bar then quarter bar and so on then silence for a bar let your reverbs play out then boom.
How about automating the release on all of your synths untill everything is a muddy mess, drums drop out, side chain gradually pumps the entire mix while i high/low pass filter reduces the mix to a rumble/hiss then some silence and into next section?
Or a sudden modulation to another key ? |

Stutter the volume of the entire track, that's one of my favorite effects to use.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNGuYC7OCmw 3:58 is one of the best transitions I've ever heard using stutter effects. Aksesson - Perfect Blue has a pretty good one too near the beginning.
Silence is pretty effective, even if you just let the track fade into nothing for a measure or two with anything that's delayed/reverbed playing until it's quiet, and then bringing everything back in.
I also liked throwing in 2 measure breaks, where you build up to the end of an 8/16 measure phrase and instead of leading into a new phrase, interrupt it with 2 measures of whatever transitions you want before leading back into it. It gives a lot more impact to otherwise boring reverse cymbals or stutters or whatever, I think, and it creates a lot of tension.
Dunno if any of this stuff is standard or would fit with the music you make, but they're things that work well enough for me. |
That is a great stuttered break, not heard that particular track before. I'm doing a break at the moment where i've got a delay on the master where i'm automating up the mix level (feedback a constant 100%) while also filtering it down to nothing and then letting it all drop back in.
I like the idea of building up to a buildup too ;) |

All good ideas here, like it :) |

Tape stop (Ala Airwave - Coka's Song ing AWESOME effect)
Reversed piano note/chord
Reverse a bar of your drum loop (with or without kick)
reverse crash
Reversed sound timestretched beyond all recognition (possibly with greater time stretch towards the end)
Low pass the entire mix gradually then slam it back in
Loop a bar, then a half bar, then a quarter bar, then an eighth, then a 16th etc
Gate effects on pads/basses
So many transition effects to be had... use your imagination... |

Yup, I like that.
I can see some morphing or vocoding doing a similar trick.
Nice. |

also fragmenting voice samples can be effective
example
this effect is really simple. Just set loop points and move the time frame back instead of forward. IT then goes forward and at the end the loop end is shortened to give that effect when Keanu takes the red pill. Or was it the blue pill ? |

I'm still not too hot with sampling. I do like the effect though, I've got Shortcircuit and Kontakt to play with now too. |

that was done with battery 1 when it came out so I'm sure alot cooler things can be done with stuff like artillery and Kontakt
I also like this transition. Just Chaos really

Actually I have Battery 3 as well in Komplete but I just moved away from that in favour of Shortcircuit for sample mapping. Take a look at shortcircuit if you haven't already, Vember have released it into the wild for free too. Great, and resource light sampler. |

Like this? One tip, when you make the effect and bounce it, bounce it without the BD.

That's pretty much exactly what i've just done.
Without the post drop tail though. |
