Recording live sessions in Renoise 2.5+ the easy way

[erpeeferr]

To be honest, i just watched this and i'm not any more clever than before.

@erpeeferr It depends on what you need.

But every program has its lacks. Renoise ain't perfect for everyone either, but that is just a simple fact of life that counts for everything.

Is there any way to quantize the notes?

[vvoois]

@simonwellander :

You can turn on Quantize mode and tell it to quantize the notes to a minimum amount of lines (Notice the big white "Q" button on the lower right of the video and next to it the figure). If you experiment on pattern leven which LPB/BPM rate matches your best input using Quantize mode set to 1, you can then go back on the track the above video explains.

32 lpb ..why ?

You can get a perfect resolution with 8lpb and pattern delay function on .

@WARDISWARD

Yes you can, but if you don't want to correct mistakes with note-delay values (meaning:you don't want to touch the pattern editor at all), 32lpb is a safe way.

The example was directed towards using only the matrix to work with stuff.

No reason to upgrade my old version yet i guess :(

@tykkefar It depends what you desire exactly.

Renoise 2.5 also comes with a lot more midi mapping options which makes it easier to control by external gear. And cross-track routing of dsp effects and a signal follower allowing you to create better side-chain configurations.

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm just getting into Renoise, having gotten sick of trying to run Buzz on Linux. I've always preferred to work with trackers, but one problem (not necessarily, but for me) with them is their tendency to make your music very cyclical and repetitive. You spend so much time and effort on one pattern that you kind of forget the rest of the song. I would like to make more linear music, and this idea is very helpful.

As I watch this video, I'm thinking there has to be a better way than this. It has technical merit, but the workflow sucks! 32 lines per beat (without the ability to zoom out) is hard to work with. I think this is a good start - but It feels like Renoise has a long way to go when it comes to recording in this way.

[vvoois]

Yes you are right regarding real tracking. There are more limitations here with this method like the the required craftmanswork on the automation and currently the Matrix does not support Continues paste yet which makes this workflow even more limited. Perhaps during the extension of the Scripting API, it allows us to add such thing as well for the matrix.

But if you are a beginner musician and simply want to jam in some stuff, this is definately an easy start to quickly get something recorded.

I love my renoise 2.5!!! Are you the first to post a video of it? Anyway... good job!!! I hope it will bring new users in the renoise community! ahah gotta mess with the stutter now!

question, how do i route the metronome to the headphones?

[vvoois]

Currently the metronome audio is broadcasted on the Master track which is currently not configurable (at least choosing the track the metronome plays on).

You can always pick a track on which you manually create a metronome function and then route that track to your headphone output.

You can also change the metronome sound. This is simply a wav-file that you can find in the "skin" folder of the Renoise root.
