I just purchased Renoise and I’m rather impressed! It feels like hardware but is software, use it mainly for the creation of sample chains and separation of single sounds from longer samples.
This software has some great tricks under its cryptic surface. What are your fav’s?
Mine (so far):
- auto tune samples to C3
- set up patterns independently of instruments/sample slots, as in the OT, as well as phrases, to quickly create several OT chains with identical structure
- save slices as separate files, coupled with transient slicing --> just record a long audio with drum sounds and prepare it for the OT, which needs equal distances between slices
- all those key controls/shortcuts! I prefer piano playing on the PC keyboard over mouse clicking.
