General information
- Renoise 2.8 is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit. The main benefit of the 64-bit version is support for larger amounts of RAM.
- A special bridging technique makes it possible to load 32-bit plugins into Renoise 64-bit and 64-bit plugins into Renoise 32-bit at the cost of some additional processing power. Bridged plugins are denoted with an arrow icon.
- Renoise's minimum window size is 990 x 550 pixels. The window can be stretched across multiple screens. On screens with a height lower than 700 pixels, either the top or bottom panel will be collapsed.
- To import MP3 and MP4/AAC files in Renoise, install QuickTime or QuickTime Alternative.
- To benefit from ASIO in the full version, your soundcard and system have to be compatible. If your soundcard has no native ASIO drivers, you can try ASIO4ALL.
- Renoise 1.8+ requires SSE. If you have an AMD CPU, find out if SSE is disabled and switch it back on with H.Oda's WCPUID/XPUID. You can also try A4SSE.
