I prefer working with samples, but I also like having a library of sounds.
I have been really happy with the Nostalgia pack, that I got from zero-g years ago. Still gets a lot of use.
I also have the digital sound factory soundfonts that I converted to sfz.

I am wondering if you have any “go-to” sample packs?

Cheers

About five years ago, in late 2015, I knew nothing about music. I didn’t know what a note was. From then to now, with no support and self taught from books, I have worked myself to the ground to try to enjoy[?] making music.

But for all my efforts it’s been pointless; none of my music goes anywhere. It is unseen by anyone and unused by anybody. I say this with the most modest aims: I just want some of it to DO something. Anything. Other than vanish into the ether of nothingness.

I make music that nobody wants. I cannot sing. From the one composing competition that I entered awhile ago academics don’t get what I am trying to do. &*^ them. I have tried to learn how to make electronic music in FL Studio. But all my sincere attempts, including some paid sites like ADSR, got nowhere and I am no closer to understanding clipping than I am to being an astronaut.

I am good at one thing only: making music scores. I used to make them in Finale in Windows Seven. Now in Ubuntu Studio Linux I use Muse score. I have taught myself a lot of proper musical theory. I have my own ideas: the ideas that &*& academics hate. Over five years I have finished every score that I started. Today I made part of a score with a piano and xylophone using A Minor. I won’t explain my theory ideas beyond that. It would bore people. But every note that I make is like a voice shouting “this is pointless”.

Now I have got to the stage where I can compose easily and pretty quickly. Far quicker and better than I could ever compose in the piano roll of a DAW. I have been posting my scores on the Musescore site. My handle there is Pianogates. I release everything there under Creative Commons Attribution; you can do anything with them as long as you acknowledge e.g Pianogates. But I don’t expect anyone to do anything with them. They will be more dust wisps lost in the air. It would be great if someone did even if it was putting them in a DAW.

The Free Music Archive was a cynical outfit that didn’t want my free music. Then they sold their site to a Spam company.
Pro Collabs didn’t want to collab even though I worked myself stupid to try to.
Bandcamp, Soundcloud etc I just hate.

A lot of the time when I made electronic music I burnt myself out and my music lost creativity.

Meanwhile my finite life span ticks away. The only thing that stops me from giving up music is that I don’t have any other creative outlet. That and my numerous other failures to find an outlet. I don’t sing. I don’t play any instrument. As for painting or drawing, I don’t think that any normal method could ride that learning curve. My other interest is Linux and I don’t know what creativity is in that. If I did stop making scores I might grab some books on computer programming.

In all this nobody has ever played any of my piano scores. That raises the vicious circle that if I knew that someone was going to play them I would make them more playable. There is no point seeking a music teacher. I have tried that; if you are over 18 they don’t want to know you. They only care about the kids;’ market. So if I gave up now nobody would have ever played a single score that I worked my guts out to make.

Hopeless. Pointless.

Hi. Very early days user here, been using it for about a day, and watching the video tutorials, which are great! Very cool program!

1. I’m on Mac OS X 10.14 (Catalina) and the Print button for keyboard shortcuts opens Safari on a blank page. I suspect it’s not seeing or using the XSLT stylesheet. Not entirely sure what to do about it, maybe someone could post the default one?

2. Is a discontinuous selection possible? I like that you can set the offset or skip to 4 (say) to get quarter notes, but is it possible to select every 4th row or every 2nd row or whatever, and do the same operation on them?

3. I’m a Dvorak keyboard user—is that going to be an issue? I noticed that I had to press Cmd+’ for me rather than Cmd+Q to quit the app, because ’ in Dvorak is Q on Qwerty.

Thanks for your help!

I found a track that says All Rights Reserved and then when i click on License it takes me here
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

So what does that mean exactly?If i release a track with the same License can someone take my track and do anything to it without asking for my permission?

I cannot get any sounds out of my Mininova. I have all the drivers installed. When I put a headphone directly in the Mininova, I can hear everything, but when I use USB on my laptop as USB/MIDI output, while having the Mininova selected as input device, I hear nothing. Even when I select the VST Mininova, it gives me the message: “This plugin does not output audio”.

I also tried a MIDI cable output towards my audio interface (Tascam US-16x8) and two rear panel jack sockets (output left & right) to the input of it, but still no sound.

Can anyone help me out please?

With latest drivers update (4.63.24.564) the input latency (11.6 ms for 512 buffer for ex.) compensation is not applied anymore in Renoise when recording samples. With previous drivers everything is fine.
Anyone experiencing that?

Hello there good people.
I was wondering if anyone could give me an educated guess, wether this plugin could be setup to work within Renoise?

Extreme vocal transformer Now for only149$ 1279

The manual states several other hosts, to-do on how to bind a midi channel to the audio input.
For renoise I guess that is either Line IN, or a sample being played back on the channel with this plugin on.

However, I am not sure I understand how to route the midi channel into the Manipulator to get the polyfonicøs going, playing choords and hear it transplant to the vocal channel.

Does anyone have any knowledge wether this is possible in renoise or not?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

After grappling with the legacy Rubberband tool (which worked great for whole samples), I wanted to have access to some of the experimental options in Rubber Band, in addition to the ability to work on sample selections. I came up with this:
https://www.renoise.com/tools/rubberband-aid-timeshift-pitch-correction-and-multisample-builder

It works great for my own needs, and I wanted to let it out into the community. Please give it a try and let me know if anything horribly breaks. Lua’s not my first language, but I’ve tried to make the tool as robust and flexible as possible.

Have fun and make adventurous music!

I’m trying to use multi track in Omnisphere, but I can’t see midi routing tab in Plugin Editor.
I can see audio routing tab in Plugin Editor but any track except 1st one doesn’t make sounds so they are unusable.
Isn’t it supported in renoise?

is all i want for renoise.
i recently made some stuff again in renoise jsut for sake of my firststep into daws.
and i still having fun with it. the only reason i hadly used it the last time was the capture fucction in ableton.
ez as pie on the fly capturing of ideas. its just great playing around adn then having every idea recorded no matter what quality. no goofing around with making one take after the other for hours while the initial idea is fading away into oblivion.

just “oh shit thats a nice thing” hitting the capture button, replaying the midi and sorting things out fast.

thats what i would like to see: a renoise 3.x capture function

I wrote this tiny tool for myself to prevent me from accidentally stopping the song while jamming when I am recording a mix-session to audio.

It gives you alternative transport-hotkeys as in the picture which can be “muted” by a toggle.
You would assign them instead of the built-in ones (I only made counter-parts for the three ones I normally use)

And then toggle via the tools-menu

After toggling, the status is displayed at the bottom

Caveat: The “Play/Stop/Edit” key won’t enter Edit-mode, I only named it this way to match the built-in hotkey entry.

I don’t intend to provide any support, I am just sharing it in case anybody finds it useful. Feel free to modify or put it on github etc.

Continuing the discussion from Anyone experienced with JACK audio? I need help.:

I’m on MacOS, have just successfully set up 20 JACK channels to be shared with Bitwig, but it turns out that the SYNC button in the Renoise preferences is missing which would allow Jack Transport to start Renoise (it’s there in Linux).
In Bitwig the button is there too and it starts when i press play in the Jack Transport window.

Could you please add that button devs? Is it a big thing? Or can I change it in a settings file in MacOS?

Another interesting topic I think.Share here you No1 advice about music making.It can be anything,your mind set or something like finding inspiration etc.

My No1 advice.Work every day on it,doesn’t matter how much time but do it every day so it becomes second nature.This is a must for anything you want to achieve in life not just music

I’ve just set up a new laptop (Windows 10, nvidia graphics) with renoise and my usual plugins. This is the first time I’ve tried to use Renoise on a 4k screen.

Here’s my problem: When I open Massive or Kontakt, their UI is completely broken. With auto-scaling on, the plugin window does not update. If I try to turn a knob or open a menu, there is no visual feedback until I close and re-open the window.

If I turn off auto-scaling for these plugins, the ui works, but it’s about the size of an altoids tin. I don’t see any settings within the plugins themselves that have to do with scaling.

The plugins scale just fine in Reaper, as do the standalone versions of Massive and Kontakt.

So has anyone else run into this issue?
