What Is a Stutter Effect?
In audio production, a stutter effect is a rhythmic repetition of a short snippet of sound—like a word, syllable, or beat. Think of it as a glitchy hiccup, used deliberately for dramatic impact. In radio liners, this effect instantly grabs attention, adds energy, and gives your message a sense of urgency or swagger. It’s popular in club tracks, hip-hop intros, and high-energy promos for a reason: it stands out.
Why Use It in Radio Liners?
Radio liners are meant to cut through the noise—literally. A stutter effect helps your brand voice do just that. Whether you're teasing an upcoming show or promoting a giveaway, adding a repeat pattern to a key word (e.g., “W-W-WIN big!”) instantly makes your message more memorable and punchy. When used sparingly and strategically, it boosts listener engagement and sonic identity.
The Old Way: Manual, Tedious, and Time-Consuming
Traditionally, applying a stutter effect meant opening a DAW (digital audio workstation), slicing up waveforms, duplicating regions, and tweaking timings by hand. It required experience, patience, and a good ear. If you weren’t a seasoned audio producer, getting a clean, professional-sounding stutter was a challenge. Most creatives skipped it altogether or outsourced it to an expert.
The New Way: Fast, Visual, and Creative
That’s where AI Jingle Maker comes in. We've built a smooth, interactive waveform editor that makes it incredibly easy to add stutter effects to your radio liners.

It’s intuitive, precise, and designed for both pros and beginners who want creative control—without the headache.
