Fun, if you have the patience.
Kevin Howard
I wanted to get it, but it's still unable to sort goddamn notes of imported midi in proper logical low-to-high pitch rows
Zachary Moore
You should expect a hell of a lot of fun.
>I am the one who made the tracks which made the devs incorporate my feature requests.
So I know its bloody good.
Try to learn another way, I recommend to drop everything you know and learn the new wae.
Carter Price
Forget it, it a novelty.
Get reaper(free forever) to record and mix, use the free ableton that comes free ok every fucking thing you buy nowadays for jamming/live, etc.
Anthony Walker
Few extra notes:
- There’s an awesome renoise community on IRC via irc.Esper.net #Renoise (its official).
- The forums are always well staffed.
- Join things called One Hour Compos. They are there on IRC to facilitate the learning and fun process of exploring your DAW within a time constraint and the only thing which you win is ego! If you lose, its still fun. Used to host them myself, but if there aren’t any in the Renoise channel you can look in #mod_shrine on the same network.
- There’s more than one way to do the same thing, which is confusing but there for legacy reasons. Command numbers have more or less been replaced by automation envelopes in the bottom of the screen to control almost all parameters of a VSTi or sample/instrument. Those that stick with using Tracker Effects (like in the demo songs that come with it) are mainly from before the time Renoise could do so much with automation.
- Hydra is a hell of a built in plugin for wiggling other DSPs in the chains.
Its a joy to use. If you have a vision of something you want to do, break it down into small pieces.
Also, don’t forget you can do channel groupings, so you can keep sets of instruments in collapsible groups to make navigating a big track easier.
Here’s an example of a really old piece made that way. youtube.com
I dunno, but seeing this post made up for the shit day.

>free ok
free on, fuck phoneposting
Sebastian Brooks
It its any consolation, its less of a novelty if one has Asperger syndrome. It can be honed into something that will teach through challenge. BUT that said you are right, there are easier ways, though this has legacy in how computer music began in the first place. Trackers. Wahhooo!

I feel you, i like using lsdj in my gameboy, its fun.
Michael Perez
I would love to play with LSDJ but my hands are torn to shreds. Are you on 8bit collective? Absolutely legendary scene there back in the day.

:3
Glad to have improved your mood.
I am just now starting to actually get around to trying to make music for real this time (I have toyed around with it for a decade) and was looking for a really well designed and fun DAW to use while I'm learning everything and Renoise sounded like a good start.
This all started out from me considering trying out OpenMPT and I saw that there wasn't any mac os support (I don't have a mac yet but I might some day) and so I chose Renoise.
This looks like a very esoteric way of producing music, but because of the whole tracker interface that'll cause me to produce a certain sound so I'll always come back to Renoise in the future either for fun or for a particular aesthetic.
Can Renoise control hardware synthesizers?
I'm thinking about getting a KORG MS-20 and since there is MIDI could it be possible?
That would be way better than using the VSTs which don't sound as good as the real deal.
Anyhoo cheers fellow trackerfag.

>Can Renoise control hardware synthesizers?
That’s a hell yes. The midi DSP plugin that you can pick from the finder window on each channel will let you assign it to a midi channel and device.
Your welcome!
Leo Evans
that track is hilarious man, thank you for being you
Jeremiah Peterson
Im not part of them, I kinda stumbled into lsdj when searching for a cheap sequencer, found the midi out capabilities and got hooked, i use it for rythm sequences mostly.
Parker Evans
Can you play notes in real time via midi into renoise or is everything handplaced? The pattern based approach seems really close to how I think about music but they look very work intensive in terms of fiddling.
Nathan Wilson
Ableton
Elijah Moore
Yes you can use an external midi controller with remotes and play chords, etc. it inputs and expands the number of note columns automatically.
Angel Rivera
Tskkk iPad. Remotes=Renoise
Austin Gray
Anytime
Bentley Evans
>Try to learn another way
there's no another way to make chords work in Renoise. Either it's a mess or it's properly sorted notes.
Chase Scott
what the fuck is the point of using a tracker in 2019? honest question, the work flow looks like hell
Jacob Clark
you feel like a hacker
Carter Price
>tfw too dumb for Ableton Live
>have been using Famitracker for a year now
>discover this
holy shit
should i use this instead of ableton because im too stupid to learn ableton
Austin Powell
They're easy to use.
Isaac Hernandez
complex drums, ease of use
once you get used to it, it becomes fairly fast to use
Nathan Peterson
Anyone want to share ur copy pretty pls uwu? Im not gonna put in on piratebay I swear.
Jordan Edwards
Is this for people who don't know how to actually mic a drum kit and record real musicians?
Jace Price
I bought Renoise like a year ago but I think Im a brainlet and I dont get it lol
The effects are cool to use in drums, but Im not into that genre.
William Ramirez
No, it's for professionals.
Colton Smith
Btw whats so hard to understand Ableton, literally the most logical DAW out there and with the most tutorials
Chase White
But professionals know how to actually mic a drum kit and record real musicians
Kevin King
speaking of trackers, anyone try this shit before?
Jackson Ross
I doubt professionals use trackers
unless you're a part of some c00l 1337 hacker scene
Gabriel Clark
>real musicians
Try and program something good into this, we'll see who the real musician is.
Isaac Gray
Fuck hackers, i've been using these since the early 90s. Nothing to do with hackers.
Josiah Perry
Professionals do use trackers, you just can't make anything professional on it because you're too fucking thick to use it.
Asher Brooks
Venetian Snares did some albums with Renoise.
Anthony Walker
or because I don't care about obsolete unnecessarily complicated elitist user interfaces
William Reed
I'm not a programmer, sorry.
Aiden Jackson
You can see it at the start of this vid by venetian snares
Jose Nelson
Renoise is for sophisticated and highly intelligent individuals.
Retards need not apply.
Isaiah Davis
>im too stupid to learn ableton
How? ableton is the easiest shit.
