The price is a lowly 10 EUR / 12 USD / 9 GBP, which seems very affordable considering the plug-in’s strengths.

HalfTime is available in VST and AU formats for 32 & 64-bit Windows and Mac machines.

HalfTime can handle both loops and live audio, so throw it onto whatever you are working on to see what comes and goes. The plug-in makes for an excellent little tool with a clearly defined purpose that still invites experimentation. We like how CableGuys took the concept of a mini-effect, the half-time slowdown, and expanded onto it with their creative flair. Overall, HalfTime seems like a pretty cool effect that’s likely to land a spot in the arsenal of anyone into mainstream EDM or time-stretching audio experimentation. HalfTime’s user interface is very intuitive and typical of CableGuys’ style, except the color scheme is green rather than yellow – it pays to switch it up from time to time. The effects can be blended in parallel with the dry signal using the Mix knob, and the plug-in easily hands itself to automation.

The adjustable loop length control makes it possible to stretch slow-downs over multiple bars for tight-cut rhythmic effects.įinally, there’s the multi-band split option that makes it possible to slow-down frequency ranges of choice – lows, mids, or highs. With HalfTime, the half-speed effect is achieved instantly the moment the plug-in is initiated, then the result is yours to shape with the creative controls.įor example, you can fade in the effect smoothly in up to 16 bars, or use three speed modes to obtain harmonies, shuffling, or quad-time playback.
