Gapper/Snipper effect

After the signal is cleaned up with dynamics and equalization, many of the more special effects are added. Distortion on a guitar part would come immediately after these effects. This might be followed by the various pitch effects, such as Vibrato, the Gapper/Snipper effect, and the XPressFX Stutter plug-in. 

It is very useful to synchronize the Gapper/Snipper effect with the tempo and heat of a project. The Gapper/Snipper effect is a faster-period effect that may occur on the heat or often multiple times each beat. See the previous discussion on Calculating Rates in the General FX Controls section of this chapter for information about how to calculate and synchronize this effect with a project.
