Sample-rate & bit depth noobisms

February 2, 2019 - 14:03

For years I’ve been using 44100hz setting in the preferences audio tab in Renoise and life is good, however there are questions,.

This setting is just the playback resolution right? It doesn’t affect the quality when exporting a song render?

For example, if you’ve set 44100hz for the playback engine, and have used solely 48000hz 24 bit samples in the song and export the song to a sample rate of 48000 hz in the ‘render to disk dialog’, the render will sound identical to if I had set the playback engine to 48000 Hz and rendered to 48000?

Also, is there a benefit of rendering to a higher sample & bitrate setting in the ‘render to disk’ dialog window, even if you’ve only used 16 bit 44100 samples in the project?

I guess I’m looking for an upgrade in soundquality, the cpu limitations aren’t there anymore to have to work in 44100, I’m just not sure what settings would make sense using different rates in the same song.

I probably should a/b this myself lol.

How do you guys work with samples of different bit depth & sample rate in the same project, playback resolution vs render to disk settings?

First occurence of instrument - how to do? SOLVED

February 1, 2019 - 15:25

@ffx wrote:

Hi,

I am sure I already asked this and then forgot it:

Is there a way or tool to get the first occurence of a selected instrument, so it jumps to that pattern and maybe even to the track?

TIP: Simple RegEx for searching multiple terms in a line, in Notepad++

February 1, 2019 - 00:06

@Ledger wrote:

I`m not too familiar with Regular Expressions but I found a simple one that helps searching through the scripting docs using Notepad++

You can search for multiple words in a line by using .* between multiple search terms

In the screenshot we have search string: pattern.*automation.*clear which finds the line

renoise.song().patterns[].tracks[].automation[]:clear()

Just make sure ‘Regular expression’ is checked on the bottom left

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Use Return and Shift + Return (or same with F3) to jump forward and back through results

EDIT: Shift also works with Find Next button

Populating automation on sequence deletion w/ autom. following opt

January 31, 2019 - 23:02

@ffx wrote:

Hi there,

let’s say you are automating a gain device on a track for a fadein of that track. Later you want to delete all parts/sequence prior to this fadein, and including the fadein part. And you have automation following enabled.

After deletion, your track now will be quiet, caused by a silencing gainer device without automation.

Wouldn’t it be more logical to populate the automation values like it would have been before seq- deletion exactly at the point after the selection? So the gainer device was left at 0dB instead after deletion?

If often find this kind of annoying, if you delete bigger parts in a song, automation can be messed up a bit. And this could be fixed.

"~Find Tool Updates..." work? | Update versions

January 31, 2019 - 15:46

@Raul wrote:

It seems that the latest modification of the renoise.com website regarding the tools has affected the operation of the “~ Find Tool Updates” tool.
@Taktik, can you fix this? Or are you waiting to update the web of www.renoise.com?

On the other hand, would it be possible to change the way of showing the versions in the web tools section?

I do not know if I’m doing something wrong, but it seems that it is only possible to upload a single version of the tool for each version of Renoise. Does this work like this? Renoise is updated very few times. But the tools can have many updates…

Ideas: Improving pattern midi automation

January 31, 2019 - 00:25

@ffx wrote:

Here is an idea how the midi automation problems could be solved (EDIT: see also idea 2):

Use two track fx columns instead, so have 32 bit space:

FX1 FX2 M1E0 4800 | | | Cmd | | Delay | Value

Extra benefit: Using multiple midi automation at once, e.g. aftertouch + pitchbend, by using 4 columns of fx. Saves one track column of space for sake of one fx column.

Disadvantage: Would it be a serious problem, if this midi commands were applied to any instrument playing in that line (assuming you are using multiple instruments in one and the same track)? You couldn’t have individual midi commands per instrument before either.

Any better ideas?

Bug: On deleting a track column, midi events won't joined together

January 30, 2019 - 23:36

@ffx wrote:

Hi,

if I have a midi automation like this

and now am dragging the last track column one position to the left

and then decrease the number of track columns

the fx commands will not be reconnected together to valid midi events again (which will happen if I drag the column back to last position instead) and the fx stays/turns into ugly random like device on/off automation instead.

Also I would like to highly suggest to you to totally decouple on/off device automation from midi automation, e.g. using unique fx command instead of double-use Mx-commands and providing a automatic song conversion then. Or maybe it would be even even better, if you were providing graphical on/off automation.

Besides the above reason, there are also the following reasons to change the double-usage of Mx:

  • In the above scenario, if I accidentally change the song position and the song option “automation following” is enabled, and the song position now passes those values, a lot of on/off automation and preset hopping will appear, which also will not be saved in undo history. So it will end up irreparable

  • There are other scenarios AFAIK which I did forget in detail, when a midi automation will accidentally turn into on/off automation. I think it was quantization in adv. tools and also as a tool

  • You can never say for sure, if a device will be accidentally automated, because there is no automation indicator at all. So Russian roulette style. Also there is no indicator for preset switch automation

Thanks!

Lua Rendering results in dB drop?

After a scripting render operation, and though I have set song to 0dB headroom; renders of an individual track seem to come out a couple of dB quieter.

Select rows/notes to mute (pattern independent)

January 30, 2019 - 02:21

@Garf wrote:

Let’s imagine you have two of the same patterns playing but don’t want the last notes in a track to play, it could be a drum fill or a build-in, then you simply “paint over” (like the select function) to mute these parts of the track without have to make a new pattern to make these changes, so it should be independent on pattern and therefore leave other instances of the pattern untouched.

New Tool (3.1.1) RandomRangeTrack (January 2019)

January 30, 2019 - 00:46

@Raul wrote:

RANDOMRANGETRACK, What is this?
The RandomRangeTrack tool contains a double function to randomizes the notes or values of the selected range within the selected track.

First it is necessary to select an area in the pattern editor. The first line and the last line selected must have different notes/values, which define the minimum and maximum notes/values of the range to randomize.

Use “ALT + mouse select” to the precise selection.

Access: “Pattern Editor/Selection/Randomize Notes… (or Randomize Effects…)”.

DOWNLOAD:

Enjoy!

Improve the export options

January 29, 2019 - 20:42

@Meef_Chaloin wrote:

At the very least there should be the 4 icons to change locations but also would be great if there was a drop down for previous locations. It quickly gets very tedious moving around.

MP3 support, now the codec is free why not? I would find it very handy for exporting a mix ready to put on my mp3 player. Other formats would be good, ogg etc.

When setting a pattern selection to export, highlight the area being exported (or darken/blur the unexported areas).

Helm VST old version gui problem

January 29, 2019 - 15:18

@ffx wrote:

Hi,

the GUI of the freeware Helm VSTi doesn’t work properly anymore in Renoise 3.1.1 64bit, I guess since macOS Sierra. The Gui won’t update anymore, it only shows the initial graphics drawing.

It works just normal in any other DAW though.

Is there any way or workaround how I could make this version work again? Any ideas?

Here is the version: Helm 0.85 64bit macos

Thanks!

P.S. I’ve seen similar problems in other VSTis, too.
