Overview

Stutter Edit 2’s Output Section includes controls for wet/dry level, overall output, and a high-performance limiter. When not in the TVM Magnifier window, the Output Section shares the TVM view with the effects parameters. However, the graph image is purple (like the Output Section itself) if you’ve chosen an Output Section parameter for editing, as opposed to the blue color for edits of all other Stutter Edit 2 sections.

Wet Gain

When off, the Wet/Dry balance in the effects sections themselves set the amount of wet and dry gain. When enabled, this parameter acts like a “master” Wet Gain control for all selected effects in the effects chain. The Level parameter follows the paradigm of all other controls.

Dry Gain

When off, the Wet/Dry balance in the effects sections themselves set the amount of wet and dry gain. When enabled, this parameter acts like a “master” Dry Gain control for all selected effects in the effects chain.

Limiter

Although the controls may seem similar to other limiters, note that they can all be modulated. This allows treating the limiter not just as a tool for dynamics control, but as a creative effect.

A Limiter is a dynamics processor that clamps signal levels to a particular threshold, which (within reason) doesn’t allow audio to exceed the threshold level. This is useful to avoid overloading of subsequent elements in a DAW’s audio path, particularly since unanticipated volume changes can occur with extreme Stutter Edit 2 settings.

Threshold

When enabled, the Threshold parameter controls the Limiter’s action. However, this is far more versatile than a typical limiter, which typically allows setting only a single threshold. As the audio varies over time, it’s possible to have more or less limiting. For example, the limiter could clamp down hard to the audio initially, but control subsequent audio less drastically.

Output Gain

When locked, this acts as an overall level control. However when split, you can modulate the overall output level. For example, you could dip the level initially, then let it rise, to emulate the “pumping” effect that a lot of EDM tracks obtain by using sidechaining and trance gate-type amplitude changes (e.g., Eric Prydz “Call on Me”).
