Renoise In:Depth is a web magazine about music production with Renoise. Whereas the Tutorials Wiki is the equivalent of the product manual with a broader view on subjects, Renoise In:Depth explains features and concepts in greater detail and shows how Renoise is used in practice.
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.
The Renoise 2 Beta Music Competition has been extended with a 2nd round. Congratulations to the contestants so far. The first round’s winner is Mr. Mark Dollin’s song Ghost Debts. It’s pretty unique and innovative. At only 66 KB it will barely increase Renoise’s install package.
See the Beta Music Competition page for more info and the updated rules for round 2. The compo deadline is planned on the same day as the first public Release Candidate of Renoise 2.0. If you are not a registered user that will be day you can finally get your hands on a free demo of the new Renoise. Anyway, send in your song before the deadline: Monday 17 November 23:00 GMT. and keep it below 5000 KB.
Renoise 2.0 is shaping up quite nicely. Its new timing features help you get a more natural and organic sound. But, we need a really good demo song for when Renoise 2 goes public. One that makes you say: “Wow, that wasn’t possible with Renoise before!”
Because we want to have the demo song before the first public demo of Renoise 2, we have started the Renoise 2 Beta Music Competition for registered users.
Send in your song before the deadline: Sunday 26 October 23:00 GMT.
If you are not a registered user, don’t panic. There will be a public BeatBattle when Renoise 2 is finished. Ofcourse, you could also order a license and join the Beta compo as well.
How about some music while you are waiting for Renoise 2.0 to be finished? The Remixta podcast brings you the greatest works from the Renoise community.
There’s plenty of boogie-woogie and disco going in the first episode of the podcast with Estonian DJ Suva pulling off an eclectic mix of the 70s, 80s and 90s, climaxing into the song of the month: Do You Wanna Dance With Me by dfast.

In the manual you can find the song-settings page where the groove settings are described.

This tutorial covers the 2nd half of the Renoise Workflow video. We will continue where we left off, about 5 minutes in the video.
Neil from the bigbeat collective Shaper shows you how he produces a track in Renoise.
Maybe you have trouble to keep up with the video, because Neil works blazingly fast. I have included a walkthrough to help you out:
Using Renoise to master Reaper and enable the power of playing large audiofiles or videofiles(!!) along the song. Here are the basic instructions how to get this done.
