"OMG - this is sick! HalfTime allows you to turn two bars of music into four bars, and by doing this you can manipulate audio in a very interesting and cool way."David Guetta. French DJ record producer and songwriter.
"This is outrageously cool, insane and great plugin that is going to be super-useful for everyone. I love the ‘making a backbeat bigger’ trick. The trick I mean is setting a wet/dry balance to 50% and making the ‘under loop’ half-time on a backbeat-heavy loop. Makes a MASSIVE snare or clap!!!"BT. BT has produced, remixed, written for, and collaborated with a variety of artists, including Paul van Dyk, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Depeche Mode, NSYNC, Sting, Blake Lewis, The Roots, Guru, Madonna, Britney Spears, Tiësto and many more.
"I've been using this in all my beats lately — I low-key love it."Hussein of 808 Mafia. Producer (Young Thug, EuroGotIt, Riff Raff)
Instant Creative Half-Speed Effect
For Trap • EDM • Hip-Hop • Techno • House • And More
Enter a world of spaced-out, slowed-down sound with HalfTime, the only plugin 100% dedicated to half-speed effects, in use by Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, members of 808 Mafia, The Chemical Brothers and more.
HalfTime transforms any audio into a dark, downtempo version of itself, giving your tracks huge mood and atmosphere. Lead synths mutate into heavyweight EDM bass monsters. Plinky piano lines become haunting trap melodies. Percussion thickens, expanding to reveal new rhythmic possibilities.
Just add the plugin for an instant half-speed effect with zero set-up, or go in deep with powerful creative controls. HalfTime works on loops, virtual instruments or even live audio input, inspiring you in seconds.
The hands-on 'Power' button makes it easy to fit HalfTime into your tracks - create a rapid switch or sink in slowly with smooth fades up to 16 bars.
Three-speed 'Modes' give you classic half-speed, tight harmonies and shuffling swing rhythms, and drugged-out quad-time playback. Adjustable 'Loop' length allows multi-bar slow-downs, funky syncopations and totally new grooves.
Slow only the lows, mids or highs with the 'Band' split - generate deep bass movement, fatten midrange percussion, or flip your top-end on its head.
