A little help for a noob, please! I’d describe my general production knowledge as barely intermediate so do be kind.
I find hardware synths and other instruments a lot easier to create with. I’m also trying to evolve my music in to something I can take perform live.
Where I’m at now
When I’m writing with most external instruments like synths I plug them straight in to my audio interface, press play on Renoise (either a backing track or metronome) and record straight, uneffected audio in the sample section. I chop up the sample as needed and paste it in to the tracker. This gets a bit trickier with sequenced synths because pressing play on renoise and the synth at the same time sounds a bit more difficult that it sounds. But all in all it works pretty well for sequencing etc.
What (I think) I would like to do
I’m pretty sure there is no way that I can “record” all the automation I would like to in Renoise when fiddling with the knobs of an Arturia Minibrute (for example). But can Renoise trigger the note on, note off midi commands while I use the moduklation on the synth, and record the audio? Or am I overthinking this? Is tehre an easier way?
Help appreciated. Thanks
