A bit of sound design with Renoise

Renoise Forum - September 11, 2020 - 13:16

Hi, all. This is my first post on forum.

I am an amateur sound designer from Moscow.

As well I am a professional DevOps Engineer and sounds is just my hobby.
I was familiar with old trackers (Scream, Fast and Impulse) so Renoise fits me comepletely.

This thing I made then tested a licensed Renoise 3.2.2 (have using a sample from distribution pack).

Used soft:
Renoise 3.2.2
Slate Digital FG-MU multiband compressor
Infected Mushroom Wider

I hope you will enjoy it.

Unable to use Rubberband or time stretch a sample

Renoise Forum - September 11, 2020 - 04:03

Hi There,

I am new to Renoise, but not to music on computers…

I am having a tricky time with stretching a sample. Rubberband, though installed is not working. So I follow the directions and go to Homebrew, but my MAC terminal app won’t allow the script to run. Additionally, when I try to time stretch from the other option available, I get an error message talking about issues with installation or that what I am trying to do is too much for my system (which is not the case)…

Any ideas as to what is going on/ what I can do?

Thanks so much

Renoise Automation questions

Renoise Forum - September 11, 2020 - 03:35

I was thinking about getting back into Renoise from Buzz tracker just for a change in workflow, but I can’t see living without 2 things that last I checked Renoise didn’t have:

  1. Send midi note value to VST effect (assuming effect can do anything with it)

  2. 16 bit precision (numbers up to 32767, don’t know the actual name) for VST parameter automation. Not internally for curves, but precise input values.

Is there a “meta” device or something that I may be missing out on that accomplishes these things? Yeah I realize I’m a dork for being such a stickler about these things, but I really love the FT2 style of Renoise!

Show contents of all sub folders in Disk Browser (like Bitwig does)

Renoise Forum - September 10, 2020 - 12:52

I’d add the behavior of browser to match like bitwig in the following aspect:
when you select one folder, in the bottom pane you can see every file within that folder and all subfolders altogether. Here are some pictures:

This would be ideal way to browse through multiple multi-sampled drum kit libraries to find the ‘perfect’ snare - just an example… I do not have to go manually thru like 4 subfolders in order to get snare, and repeat same for next kit and for next and so on…

would this be a huge effort to implement or not?
Thank you @taktik

and ability to modify gui/theme more in-depth than possible right now. This would be so awesome - but not something that we cannot go on without

Shortcut for "enable keyboard"?

Renoise Forum - September 9, 2020 - 23:34

Could we please have a keyboard shortcut for toggling “enable keyboard” (that shortcut would obviously not send to the VSTi then, when keyboard is enabled).

I am asking, because for some plugins (e.g. U-he Zebra2) most mouse actions also only work when “enable keyboard” is selected (not really sure why, but that is the case), and having to move the mouse constantly to to that tickbox when switching from tweaking the synth to quickly testing the effects of that tweak (by playing a note withe the keyboard), is very very annoying.

Alternatively, a fix for synths that need “enable keyboard” for mouse interactions would also be very welcome.

Favorite piece of gear (under $1200)

Renoise Forum - September 9, 2020 - 11:59

Anyone have a piece of gear that retails for $1200 or less that they just really love?

Portable is a plus, but not a deal breaker.

Itching to have something physical to tweak in addition to my in the box setup.

Weird animation I made (Renoise soundtrack of course)

Renoise Forum - September 9, 2020 - 06:23

Mostly I made this to test out a couple different ways of animating things. I did the audio in Renoise!

It’s not a tracker animation! I’m not that crazy, yet.

Anyone having a techno or dnb track for a remix

Renoise Forum - September 9, 2020 - 01:20

Hi peeps,

I’m currently in between some work and having a little writing block. On the other hand I’m looking for more collaborations. Has anyone a techno, or a dnb track which he/she wanted to have remixed? Maybe that is getting me out of this frame.

Auto select samples not working in Redux

Renoise Forum - September 8, 2020 - 04:29

Auto select samples is not working in Redux 1.1.2. Tried it in both Live 10.1.18 and FL Studio 20.7.2 on Mac OS 10.15.6.

Believe it or not, this small feature is something I really like, because it automatically shows the sample being played. Sucks not having it, and not having it seems to be a recent development, though I’m not sure why it doesn’t work anymore. Maybe when I updated to 10.15.6 on Mac???

Who knows.

Giorgio Moroder influenced track "Not so Bright"

Renoise Forum - September 7, 2020 - 09:34

I was listening to the B-side of “never ending story” 45rpm single by Limahl (Let’s face it, it’s basically just Giorgio Moroder with a young fella as a singer) which I think was called Ivory Tower, and I loved the vibe, but it was too positive for me, so I blended the feeling I was getting from listening to it when I was a kid, with a pretty depressing set of lyrics I wrote about facing an ever-shrinking future when compared to how it seemed when I first heard this in 1985.

Made with Renoise 3.2.2 on Ubuntu Linux.

Steve Reich - Piano Phase (jeeruff renoise phrase etude)

Renoise Forum - September 5, 2020 - 18:05

Hi there,

jeeruff · Steve Reich - Piano Phase (jeeruff Renoise Phrase Demo)

I presumed this wonderful piece and renoise phrases are made for each other.
The process of making was not sofisticated:

  1. make the phrases
  2. duplicate it with highest resolution
  3. make the second phrase 1 line shorter
  4. enjoy the phase bug (which is a feature)

renoise source

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Phase

Software used:
Pianoteq sampled in renoise
Renoise

Hardware:
Macbook Air 11" (becuase of renoise I decided not to get new shiny MBPro and constrain myself and happy about this decision)
Sennhiser HD650

CPU usage for each track

Renoise Forum - September 4, 2020 - 18:38

Hi all

It would be fabulous if the mixer view had CPU percentage meters at the top of each track. That way it would be easy to single out processor-hungry tracks, rather than just randomly removing VSTs until the CPU meters come down. Perhaps the channel that currently has the most CPU usage could highlight the VST in the mixer chain that has the heaviest usage within that channel.

Doom Synth epic

Renoise Forum - September 4, 2020 - 12:40

I feel like I’m spamming, so please let me know if I am. Just polished this one off.

Feel the flow: push the music

This one’s about generational damage as it seems each generation now has fewer and fewer opportunities in life and for their personal connection to others.

Lyrics:
I can’t turn this off
I wanna get the control I can’t stop

You feel, not quite real
And you are behind glass, fully sealed

We are, losing out
We want to find our place here, but we’re not

Our goal, is to live
But existence breaks us, withered skin

Feeling the flow - another percentpercent track

Renoise Forum - September 4, 2020 - 04:28

Really feeling the flow at the moment - waking up, coffee, quick bite, then in the studio until nearly midnight and loving it.

This one emerged in just a day which was pretty wild - I’ve been watching how twisted some people’s reality has become as they stay indoors and source their whole worldly experience through their social media, and it drove me to write this. I’m loving the funeral organ vibe as well a classic 80s fade out like it’s on a cassette

My latest - looking at the cyclic nightmare of F-book:

Each adult is worth $54 in advertising per year to the biggest social media network in the world.

This $54 encompasses everything we are and like.

It also damages and destroys us and our society.

Lyrics:

All of my people, all of my stuff,
Worth grand total of 54 bucks

Collect them all up, lock them down
To hand them over, to people who care

I see no reason, to stop now
I need my likes to reward my brain

And those adverts, I like them all
They help my buy stuff, and fill my home

Take my arms off, and remove my feet
I exist to fill my wall

Turn up the contrast, pick a team
Take a picture, and kill them all

Renoise Memory in OSX Spikes to over 50+ Gigs

Renoise Forum - September 3, 2020 - 23:42

Using OSX Mojave 10.14.6

Only using 2 short samples from the renoise library in a simple song as I am still learning. I also had a few tools installed, but uninstalled all of them to make sure it was not one of them.

Here is what happens…

I got one sample with an envelope affecting pitch. I saved this envelope as a preset.
As soon as I apply this envelop to the second sample within 15 seconds memory in Renoise spikes to over 50 gigs and continues. I have to force quit. It replicates every time.

I tried to upload the song file, but as a new user it said I am not able to upload.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Clearer view of note on/off states

Renoise Forum - September 3, 2020 - 22:17

It would be nice if Renoise would show some kind of an indicator for those notes that haven’t received note off message, so it’s clear that the note is still playing. Especially useful in case of those notes with Autoseek on that span over several patterns.

Here’s how Sunvox handles it, showing a bar under those notes that are still “on”. It makes things much clearer.
