The Renoise Q&A thread

[deadly habit]

yea this beta update is fucking schweeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttt

[halo skycrash]

Also, does anyone know of any good timestreching vsts/AUs? I hate that 09xx crap.

There is soundhack for the mac. That is easily the best time stretch tool I've come across. It is not a VST though. soundhack also does a number of other amazing things. Enjoy

2.5 is killer. Been playing with the demo for a month...circumstances forced me to abandon my main DAW a while ago. switching to Renoise.

[misk]

renoise is still dope. I wrote this entire album with only it and a few VST synths.

is renoise appropriate to start out producing? because i've heard/read that renoise is one of the worse DAWs to begin with, particularly because of it's complexity. i've been using it in the past 5 days as it was the only DAW (beta version) that i could download without it using GBs of my internet, such as Logic which was 7.3gb. I must say it's been pretty confusing for me (the recording/system of it has bloody scared me) but i've learnt how to make wobble and sub and everything. Should I bother getting another DAW?
I use a Mac btw.

it's fine to start. a lot of us old farts started out on trackers and renoise is the king of trackers and hell all the new features that keep getting added on it's quickly becoming a lot more versatile than some of the bigger daws on the market. with the scriptability now... hell plus the user forum and help guides and tutorials on the main site should have you up and running in no time not to mention the price

I was scratching my head with Ableton and Reason and god knows what else.

Then I tried MadTracker and things started to make a little bit of sense and then I tried Renoise and I've never looked back.

You gotta sit down, learn it and make it second nature (like any other DAW). To me, it's more intuitive and easy to learn than shit like Ableton.

I think most people who find Renoise too confusing are the ones who got very used to horizontal sequencers. You're a clean slate, make use of that advantage.

amen to that, if you can get into renoise, you'll be able to make tunes quicker than you could ever imagine on a horizontal sequencer. Only downside for me right now is the groove features on renoise, in a horizontal sequencer you can move round the samples off quantize till you got a groove 'locked'. In a tracker everything is very rigid so alot of effor needs to go into typing each particular groove delay timing.... (although there is the song groove setting which is not that good....)

back to the first point though, tracker's are famous for having the fastest workflow around, but they are all a bit 'lo-fi', rough around the edges and don't support 3rd party software too well.... EXCEPT for renoise which is rock solid stable (can count the emount of crashes ive had on 1 hand and thats when ive been dling naughty software and all sorts at the same time) has almost all the features that you get in a horizontal sequencer and is way cheaper.......

could you elaborate a bit on why this is?

Being able to enter notes with the keyboard as opposed to clicking them into a piano roll is much much faster once you know what your doing.

check out this vid:

he's not even that quick but it still shows you what you can do. Automation is probably one of the best things about renoise, really easy to do (although it could do with some improvents.)

i highly recommend going to the site and using the almost limitless demo (everything is possible except for rendering capabilities, so that means you can still save/your songs that you make, use vst, chop up breaks, just not get a shiny wav proving it) and to also check out the great vids showing you how to use it both on youtube and on the site.

okay everyone, i apologise but i got a really noobish question to ask. but i'm so stuck and i'm not sure what to do about it

i've downloaded some VST plugins (camelphat and blockfish) for renoise, but i can't seem to install them or even open them by dragging them into the application?
i've edited the plugin preferences by ticking the boxes of my library to allow the vst plugins to open. also i download both audio unit (AU) and vst versions of both freeware but none of them seem to be opening?
help please?

You did put the plug-ins in the correct folder and selected your preferred folder in preferences, right?

If you did, well, one of Renoise's downside is crappy VST support. My Fabfilter Pro-C works fine in Renoise 2.0, but doesn't work at all in later versions.

You can address this on their forum. But as I said, you gotta make sure the DLLs are in the right folder and that folder is set as your plug-in folder in Renoise.

cheers for that help, appreciated

I'd just ask for support on their forum. Renoise isn't a MAJOR daw yet and dev companies often don't test their plug-ins on Renoise.
