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.
Long-time Renoise fan Saine has just released his new album Long Time No See on both vinyl and digital formats on Helsinki-based Cymbidium Records. It’s a genre-blurring ride through downtempo beats, smooth instrumental excursions and deep late-night house vibes. We quizzed Saine on his approach to music making in general, with a particular focus on Renoise, naturally.
Renoise 2.6 Final, a tribute to the most tech savvy users, is out now. The highlight of this release is the scripting engine, which allows users to code new features in scripts that can be plugged into Renoise in packages called Tools. Furthermore there are some exciting changes under the hood, one of which makes working with longer samples a lot easier.
Script everything using an open API
Lua is a light-weight programming language, which together with the Renoise API allows you to build add-ons quickly and easily.
Lua scripting, introduced as part of the beta cycle in July, has already resulted in a plethora of new tools, as well as native support for the following hardware: AlphaTrack, BCF-2000, BCR-2000, KONTROL49, FaderPort, microKONTROL, nanoKONTROL, Launchpad, Remote SL-MKII, Nocturn, Monome, Ohm64, iPad via TouchOSC… All created by the Renoise community on their own dime, just for the fun of it.
Samples have a new setting, “Autoseek”, which will, when enabled, make them behave like a traditional audio channel. You can start playing back the song at any position, and the sample will automatically seek to the current position in the song without having to be triggered.
After months of testing and feature finetuning, especially for Renoises new scripting API, Renoise 2.6 gets very close to its final release now.

Hitori Tori, a.k.a. Canadian Renoise veteran Julian La Brooy has been kicking up a stir lately with his impressive videos of innovative Renoise jamming. See Hitori Tori – Renoise Techniques for some examples. We decided to get in touch for a little interview that should hopefully provide some more insight into his working process.
Sick of the sonic sludge? Tweaking those mixes to no avail? Might be time to better understand the wonderful world of monitors. This article deals with how to use speakers to get a great final mix for your song. And you may be surprised to see just how low budget you can pull this off with. Read on…
So you’ve created an absolutely banging tune and it is time to give it a final polish making it ready for mastering. But, the little clipping indicator has been lighting up while your song plays, perhaps so much so the sound of your mix sounds rough and undesirably ugly. No good in having an amazing song if the final mix sounds like a fudged up mess!
MMD returns to writing for In:Depth, and in this article he will help you aim for a final mix that is nice and clean so it avoids clipping. You may learn a thing or two about Renoise too in the process.
A small maintenance update for Windows 7 was released: Renoise 2.5.1 fixes problems with UAC on Windows 7, with the latest security patches installed.
This update is only necessary if you got annoyed by “C:\ Location Not available. Access is denied” messages from Windows when running Renoise.
If you don’t got those messages, you don’t need to update from Renoise 2.5.0 final. Mac OSX and Linux builds only have been updated to set the version number to 2.5.1.
