Renoise?

Has anyone ever used Renoise before? I'm keen to check it out, as it's meant to be a good program for writing glitchy, breakbeat orientated songs.

This video shows some of the uses of the program.

And also a video of a song someone made in Renoise.

Looks interesting though. Keen to download the demo and check it out. Full version is relatively cheap as well. Only about 80 dollars.

I haven't used it but as far as I know it is a DAW similar to Cubase/Logic/etc but instead of scrolling sideways it scrolls vertically.

Glitchy like a jellyfish?

Yeah heaps of Renoise people use that VST.

As far as similarity goes from what I have seen the whole interface is completely different to other DAW's. It is also actually called a "Tracker". It seems it runs well on low performance computers pretty well, and you don't need the whole low latency soundcard to go with it. I might download the demo tomorrow and check it out though.

That VST can be used in just about any DAW. It is still a DAW, just based on trackers, which usually have the vertically scrolling screen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renoise

Renoise is a contemporary digital audio workstation (DAW) based upon the heritage and development of tracker software. The main differentiation of Renoise from other music software is the characteristic vertical timeline sequencer used by tracking software, as opposed to the more popular horizontal timeline sequencers.


I don't really know of anyone who has used it. Give it a shot and see how you like it. At the end of the day, all the different DAWs are different, people prefer different DAWs for different reasons. Find one you like and learn it inside out, it is the end result that counts.

never used it but it looks like a real user friendly way to make big time drum chops.

old mate talks a bit of shit at the start but knocks up a half decent drum loop in about two mins

Yeah this is one of the things that interests me about Renoise. This Acelcius(sp?) guy is pretty random. It looks like once you get the keyboard shortcuts sorted out you can work pretty fast.
