I don't really know what you guys call this effect? In audio circles it's just called a glitch effect, dubbed "Glitch" after the form of music it's most commonly ascosiated with.
I'd like to create this effect in a professional video app, but I'm not sure if it can be done in AE, it's been pointed out to me that it would most likely require an expression linking two sliders to control the loop's start and end points over time, it's obvious to me that it would need someone very skilled in using expressions to creat it, if it can be done at all?
The clip bellow is an example, I've adjusted the start and end point's of the loop through various sections of a clip, I created the example using two apps, one a live video app the other an audio/midi app, the audio app sends midi yo the video app and controls the start and end points of the loop, but there are problems, midi and midi apps are very prone to latency problems and also jitter, this results (in this case) in frames dropping out or even freezing completly, hence my wish to find a pro app or plugin that can loop clips in this manner (including their audio if possible), AE is my main video app, it seems to be able to do most of what, however I'm at a loss as to what to do next exctly.

There are some more points on the original thread I started on the general AE forum

I'd really appreciate any help you guys might be able to give me, I'm really struggling to create this effect, presently I need to use three different app's and as you can see the resultss are far from perfect.
