Effects can be triggered in one of 2 ways: (1) using a pattern editor (that's synced to the project timeline) or (2) using MIDI. A lot of the presets mangle things too much but it still has quite a few that work. Sugar Bytes Effectrix $129 - This one works decently with vocals. (This probably depends on the type of music you're making.) Unfortunately, most of the options end up mangling a vocal track too much to be usable IMO. This makes triggering the effects pretty simple. It's also midi triggered- each of the effects within a given preset is associated with a specific MIDI note. It offers a lot of options and a pretty big variety of sounds. IZotope Stutter Edit $249: I've had some limited success with this one. So what have I tried (besides manually chopping and shifting my vocal tracks)? So far, these: (He seems like the type.) But I believe there are some plugins that can at least mimic the style.īefore proceeding, here are a couple of examples of what I'm talking about:

I realize that a lot of what Klayton does is probably a very manual process of hand-crafting sounds. During this time I've looked for VST plugins (for vocals, primarily) that offer that neat gritty/grungy/stuttery sound that artists like Klayton/Celldweller use. Most of what I record is rock or metal, but for the past few months I've begun dabbling in electronic music.

Hopefully it will be helpful to others like me. I've hung around /r/WATMM long enough to know that this type of post runs the risk of being down-voted, but please consider that I've spent a fair amount of effort researching before creating this post.

In the meanwhile, I'll at least try to move them up here to the header so they're easier for people to find. Others have mentioned some additional tools to try- and I intend to.

I've only purchased a few of the tools that are available but I've written a quick review of each. Rather, a place for people to share techniques and tools. Edit: This is not intended to be a formal review.
