Hunz's new album "thoughts that move" has just been released. Besides that it's totally awesome, there are some notable facts to be mentioned about it.

Hot off the press! Computer Music 138 contains an awesome review of Renoise 2.0.

The Immortal Empire - Renoise Music Competition has come to an end. The winners are: Jacek Dojwa, Frej Bjon, and Bence Tasnadi. Congratulations! They receive $300, $200, and $100 (USD) respectively and will have their music featured in the upcoming role playing game Immortal Empire.

The response to the compo was immense, with participants sending in over 50 great songs. Immortal Empire's developer Tactic Studios has ranked and reviewed all songs: Compo results and comments.

To celebrate the launch of Renoise 2.0, the teams from Renoise and Tactic Studios are announcing the start of the official Immortal Empire - Renoise Music Competition. The objective of the competition is to score music for the upcoming MMORPG Immortal Empire. The game is a turn-based strategic RPG set in a fantasy world.

This time the Remixta DJ Mix takes you all the way back to 2008 to present you some of its greatest tracks. The mix is heavier on the electronic dance music compared to the previous episode, but other styles won't be entirely left out. Although DJ Suva was trying to be objective, he couldn't ignore his DJ personality and just went with the flow. There's only so many to fit in 45 minutes, so many extremely talented artists missed the boat. Don't worry though, your time will come in another episode for sure!

Today marks the official launch of Renoise 2.0 Final, a unique tool for music making. To celebrate this huge milestone we are doing a special promo:

Because this launch is such a special event we throw in an exclusive sample kit of over 100 MB.

Renoise 2, the DAW with the tracker interface, is finally on its way to the finish line. About 4 months of exhaustive testing are about to end, so yeah, it's pretty much rock solid. More importantly, we are entering a new era of awesomesauce with features such as Automatic PDC and an insane 4096 PPQ timing resolution.

While the last wrinkles are ironed out for the first public demo of Renoise 2, DJ Suva showcases the best music the Renoise community has to offer.

Remixta Episode 2 is a perfect blend for the cold autumn nights in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. Starts out real smooth, but near the end of the podcast the pace picks up a bit to stop you from completely dozing off. Album highlight for this episode is 3 Smargaid Maerd by Mr. Mark Dollin.

The deadline of the Renoise 2 Beta Competition has passed. We have received a fair amount of pretty good songs and we are currently deciding on a winner.

In the previous post about the compo I promised a public Renoise 2.0 RC1 demo. Unfortunately at this time the demo has been delayed for about 1 week. Beta 6 will be released shortly.

Renoise 2 Beta 5 is now available for all registered users. This will be the last Beta before moving on to the first public Release Candidate. Beta 5 contains several fixes and new features. For a detailed overview of the new features in Renoise 2 check out the What's New section.
