I have been seeing a ton of videos of people doing live remixes and stutter edits using Ableton Live and perhaps a controller like the Akai APC40.  Well, I figured it time to throw my hat into the ring, so here goes a short video on how to use Beat Repeat for live Stutter editing.

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

Here is the Effect Rack Preset, so you can try it out yourself:Repeater

There are some important points not mentioned in the video, so read on if you are going to try to make this effect from scratch.

Important Settings for Beat Repeat:

Chance needs to be zero, that makes it so the repeating only happens when the repeat button os on.

Ins needs to be on, not Mix or Gate.  That way when the repeats are going, the original audio cuts out entirely.

Have Fun. Make Music.
