Renoise Forum

Hello,
I am a veteran Linux user (Opensuse/Tumbleweed) since around '08.

I also am very familiar with music, sound design and music production (back to the old days). I am new to Renoise (since 2022) and digital music production.

I am making a solo gig of digital-to-digital avant-garde electronic-noise music on a zero-budget as a side-project.

Any useful tips mastering in Renoise/Linux would be very helpful. Would this be easier on Mac? A comparable project would be someone like hrastprogrammer.com

I am sure this is possible but am uncertain what tools are available to “check my work.” Meaning, I am mixing/mastering myself and don’t know how to baseline myself…meaning doing/fixing something with the correct intended result. The intended result being a consistent sound in Laptop/Stereo/Phone/Car.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
When I listen to other tracks, my mixing/mastering testing levels all seem relatively low. I know how to fix this but am assuming the other track EQ levels are insanely high.

Thank you very much in advance.

hello,
i use renoise since years but at this moment i try to incorporate audio effect with renoise (for renoise samples and for external synth).
i have a Sherman filterbank and a quadraverb,i have put the output into the input of my fireface 400 and the ouptus into some input.
i succeed to hear my modular synt hbut don’ be able to integrate effect as inserts.
my goal is too use my effect as insert for the samples sequenced by renoise but too applied effect on live for recording with the ssamples record utilitary
on my synth

thnks for your adavance for your replies

ps i use endevouros(arch linux) 64bits

The VST3 version of Massive is not being read properly after Renoise loads a previous saved file.

1. Add Massive (vst3) as an instrument

2. create a macro (any will do) and name it something.

3. Add an *Instr. Automation too the channel in Tracker view (notice macros are available as automatable parameters).
   “Macro A1” (along with all other default macros) are there.
   

4. Save your Renoise song and then re-load it. Notice the Macro parameters are not longer available.
   

If I do this with VST2 there is no issue. I wasn’t sure if this was a Renoise or Native Instrument issue, but Ive been told it could be either. Worth bringing up anyway just in case.

I have also posted on the Native Instrument forum about it.

There were posts alike to this one, but the latest one I could find dates back to 2020, and the market has grown a bit since then.
What are your personal favorites?

Hello devs!

I often start remixing in Renoise with the import of a Voice Audiotrack. This Track will be played always in the same speed independend from the chosen BPM Value in Renoise. It is able to showing the BPM Value when hovering on the Audiosample in the samplebrowser or as a Valueinfo field on other place? It would be useful for syncing Renoisespeed with the Audiotrackspeed.

happy Tracking

Every day the past few days i have gotten 40-50 system notifications about nothing but old posts that i can’t even remember and that has no relevance to anything and there’s no new replies or nothing. What’s going on?

I want to show a dialog on startup and thought app_new_document_observable has to be used. The problem is that the dialog always shows up under the main Renoise window. So, I added a timer for some latency…

Is this the only way to show a dialog in the foreground after starting Renoise, or is there some simpler way that is a little less hacky?

INIT_ONESHOT = true function oneshot_latency(func, time) local wrap_func wrap_func = function() func() renoise.tool():remove_timer(wrap_func) end if renoise.tool():has_timer(wrap_func) then -- safety measures renoise.tool():remove_timer(wrap_func) end renoise.tool():add_timer(wrap_func, time) end renoise.tool().app_new_document_observable:add_notifier( function() if INIT_ONESHOT then -- only happens upon startup INIT_ONESHOT = false oneshot_latency(function() self.gui:show_gui() end, 500) end end )

YouTube thumbnails.

What makes you click on a video? I’m especially talking about music here. Not pro, big time artists. But small, amateurs like us. What makes it that you want to give that video a try?

Thoughts on what makes a good thumbnail for you for non-music videos are welcome, too.

Every time I duplicate a track including its patterns it’s because I want to layer the sound therefore it would be useful if the duplication also include the muted blocks state in pattern matrix.

Hi - sorry if this is blindingly obvious to everyone else, but I have a Novation Nova - with midi out/in to Renoise. It all works great, but I want to record incoming midi cc changes I am making on the Nova itself, in to either a midi instr control or in to a graph etc
I read a page on here that said “use midi mapping” and “tick this box so it shows a graph line” - but no joy, I’m still getting all my incoming midi automation recorded as M messages per track like this :

Also - how do I remove these M messages without removing the notes! I’ve tried many key combos, with alt+del being the closest, but it removes the notes too.

thanks!

Hi i just want to say hello. I used renoise back in the day, but sold it for other daws, been a reaper user for years, but the new interest for trackers trough these new hardware thingies, specially the very interesting m8 , made me gassy as heck…Couldnt justify to my wife ordering any of these specially since i recently ordered a boss rc500 AND a boss rc600 loper AND a brand new guitar… but I COULD get a renoise license and install it on a older ubuntu laptop, and it works great! I know nothing about the current state of renoise development or if it has a future, but the software is fun and great as it is and it definitly is the coolets looking daw on the market, so i hope it keeps going for years and years.

Currently I’m facing an error that already occured in some particular cases in the past, too. The undo function doesn’t work for whatever reason. I didn’t do anything special, just business as usual, which means loading a few samples and VSTs, editing a few notes, applying a couple of devices to the tracks and so on. And there’s absolutely nothing that can be undone. No note editing, no parameter settings of devices, no instrument load or whatever, simply nothing. Undo and redo are always greyed out. This error is only happening in that particular song, and in contrary to that undo works normally as expected in other songs. Obviously this isn’t a bug in general, it’s just weird and not comprehensible for me. I think this is the third song in which I’m facing this error. It’s definitely not happening because of a crash or somehing like that, it just happens out of the blue. Btw, I’m on Win10 and I’m currently using Renoise 3.4.3, but this error also occured in particular songs that were made with previous Renoise versions.
So my question is: What could cause undo not to work?

Hi,

If the Pitch Stepper module in the Instrument Modulation page could be enhanced so that in 12-step mode each step could be used to tune each key in the octave. This would allow the creation of microtonal tunings totally natively inside Renoise.

U-he Zebra has a similar function when you assign its Mod Mapper into Oscillator Tune, setting step amount to 12 and mode to Key.

Hi,

I have some questions regarding the PDC report.

Preparation:
Please install TB Buscompressor v3 VST for macos (intel only), use an arm mac machine. Also MRatio VST3 by Melda Production. Renoise 3.43

Open the following song file:
bug-pdc.xrns (9.7 KB)

Load it into Renoise, disable sandboxing (though bus compressor will run in cpu bridge).

1. Open PDC compensation report, looks like this here:
   

• Why is the track “sn” split into input and output delay, because of the sidechain send?
• Why the track “rev kick” only having 767 samples?
• Why are all lead tracks getting the same input latency and not the group “front” instead? Could this lead into issues while using multiple nested groups, in parallel? Isn’t input latency also delaying meta signal input (e.g. env follower)?

2. Now mouse-over an info icon of a tb bus compressor instance:
   

• Why is it reporting less latency (512 samples) than the PDC dialogue (767 samples)? Which value is the correct one, is the PDC report maybe faulty? Same happens for example with Uhbik-A plugin. Or does the bridge add additional latency? If so, shouldn’t this be reported in any case?

3. now remove the track “rev tom”. Again see PDC report:
   

• Why is the track “sn” not anymore split into input/output latency? Because sidechain latency is the same as the other tracks (having input latency)?

BTW. I think it would be cool, if the report window was not exclusive/blocking popup, and instead, it would refresh the report each 2 seconds or so, and you could live edit the song in parallel…

Quick question - does the wet convolver signal have latency compared to the dry or is this compensated for by renoise? I’m trying to understand how it compares to my hardware setup. Thanks!
