Stutter Edit

A prolific composer, technologist, and 53rd GRAMMY® Award nominee, Brian Transeau (BT) is also renowned for pioneering the "stutter edit" as a musical technique.

When first conceived, stutter edits required hours of meticulous labor: careful slicing of audio into impossibly small fragments before resynthesizing the result into modern fractured effects. Craving a better workflow, BT searched for tools that would help unleash his creative vision. When none were found—technologist that he is—he resolved to develop his own tools. And thus Stutter Edit® was born.

Over the past decade, BT has used early versions of Stutter Edit for both performance and studio work. Benefitted by his real-world experiences, the design has continuously evolved with new features and refined usability.

In 2010, BT partnered with iZotope, who has now built the technology into a complete product—compatible with both PC and Mac OS X platforms, as well as major music production and performance hosts.
