how do people do that "tape stop" effect?

ive heard this lots. it just sounds like a tape player being stopped and the pitched of the whole track goes down, and it sounds all cool. im sure if i had a real tape player i could do this, but i want to do it digitally so the timing is perfect and whatnot

i know one of the dblue glitch effects has this (the red one i think), this is basically what i want to do, but not with dblue glitch

Just export into audacity and lower the pitch.

tape stop effect is obviously done by stopping tape.

he is probably planning to build and comedically cut the tension in his soundtrack for the next scary movie

ps sampler + pitch envelope

pps this effect is so cool in the orb's "more gills less fishcakes"

I think soundforge has a record slow down effect built in which is very similar.

i just want to experiment a little with the tape stop effect. i have no plans for using it in any songs but i probably will

listen to windowlicker, i want to do that pretty much. im sure he probably used real tape to do that, but damn it why isnt there a good plug that does this?

i pretty much did that but in Live (host), it sounded ok, but its not just the pitch, its the slowing of the tape as well or whatever you know what i mean

use warp markers to make the sound stretch as well as using pitch to drop it.

Yup.

Fiddle about with the time stretch algorithms as well, for a tape stop i reckon the best is texture with low grain size, or complex

and a little bit of 1xx too

soundforge

get a sample of a tape or vinyl being stopped. insert the sample whereever you want it in your track and solo the channel.

lol

You can easily automate the plugin delay compensation. If you make the sample have a delay then when the sample is triggered the daw will slow it down automatically to end where your clips end point is. Or you can usually control shift alt drag a sample to the length you wish it to be, then hold control as your click in the middle of the sample and drag your mouse side to side. Alternatively, press record and turn off your computer right as the sample is triggered.

on some systems, when power is cut to the computer an interrupt is triggered. there's enough time to park the heads on the hard drive and maybe write a few k of data, capacitors hold a bit of juice and computations happen very fast.

wonder if you could stretch that millesecond of computer lifeforce draining into a minute or two of track

steinberg programs have enveloping pitch adjust processes

a lot of samplers have a modulation envelope that you can assign to the pitch of a given sample(s)

there's also supatrigga at smartelectronix for a vst but way less controllablein terms of full modulation
