As previously mentioned, I’m fairly new to Renoise, and I was wondering what the advantages are of using slice markers over Sxx commands. As a beginner, I’ve preferred using Sxx commands; they feel intuitive and provide a quick means of experimentation. Is there way of effectively combining the techniques, or is it recommended that one be used over the other for specific applications? Sxx commands seem great for keeping the audio in a constant state of playback while experimenting with the playback positioning… truly inspiring stuff!
I’m just looking for more insight into why someone would use slices over Sxx commands. I’m sure there are many hidden (or not is hidden) advantages. Thanks for your time!

I find slices easier to play with. Slices map to notes; with slices in place I can easily try things out right in the sample editor, playing different notes from a keyboard. Don’t like the slice? Slide the markers around. More intuitive for me.
Great suggestions here - thanks for the thoughtful replies. I had missed the special instructions on using Sxx commands with slices. That was exactly what I needed. Thanks again, all!
