Tell me your workflow for producing glitchy stuff!

[Grappadura]

I use dblue glitch a lot. its cool that you can narrow down the possibilities of an effect. plus its very versatile, best if used subtly. I record it on a track, pick out the good parts, arrange them, done.

although I almost never go glitch..

leaving 'some' things to chance isn't a purely aleatoric process..
the control over how much ..when..and where defeats that concept..
it's merely an element introduced into a carefully crafted mix/setup..
with a human operating it..

also .. you could agree .. that when playing for fun...(jamming)
is where the magic happens..(this is what I think you mean by 'manual')
and.. for me..the best ideas stem from there...
so.. imo.. leaving things to chance is very important ..
as it is to leave things open for interpretation..
both on stage and in the studio...
constructing the framework (aka the groove)... and building over that..
those 'happy mistakes'.. don't need to be looked at as 'mistakes' at all...

also...
I really don't think anyone is expecting to hear that 'glitch solo' as in the original recordings..
a glitch is usually a rhythmical percussive supplement ..
as long as you make it expressive and adds to the piece...
anything is fair play..
there's no Taboo..
