Achieving this 'stutter' vocal effect?

On the chorus. 'Frie e e end'. I know this could be achieved with hardware (example = turntables) but I want to carry it out in a digital setting.

Thanks

I used to use this a year or two ago and it works well for scratching but not for the kind of effect I'm after.

Sounds to me like the level is attenuated using a square wave LFO controlling the amplitude, giving a sharp cut up sound. You might have a plug in that does this, Cubase had the Chopper plug in, but you might achieve it with a tremolo/vibrato or a gate with a side chain triggered from a pre fade percussive sound (if you don't want to here the effecting sound that is).

These gives an idea of how it can be done.

The stutter of "frie-e-e-end" is on different notes. It sounded to me like he basically sung it that way and it was then "stuttered" by chopping out a section either side of each note. (Maybe he even did the "stutter" for real and it was just exaggerated.)

(In general, I thought the "stutter edit" was often done with manual cut/copy/paste in a DAW, BT-style, though there are plugins like Izotope's Stutter Edit that can automate it.)

just sounds totally like a volume edit using automation. Go into your sequencer and just automate the volume but make sure you have square edges on all the fade up and downs so you get a choppy effect.

You could also try automating a Tremolo with a square wave effect and get pretty close i reckon

use 'slice to midi' -very quick and very easy in ableton -or cut up the audio manually -or yes, use stutter edit or effectrix
