I’ve been making a quick (1 pattern) mix and it’s going quite good.
But since I am very new to the program, I have some questions.
Firstly, how should I go about adding notes, or err, triggers Between each of the lines, so I am able to get a quicker paced beat?
I like many of you like fast paced beats, and I know that increasing the BPM would be the normal thing to do to have more options for different timings… but I was hoping there is a different way?
Currently, I’m in 160bpm, 1/4. And for me personally, even if I have all the tiggers touching each other (no spaces) it is still not fast enough for me.
I come from tracktion 2, and I would like to know about the more complex timings renoise has, without having to wop the bpm to 400, and having to have hundreds of pages of patterns to sift through.
There’s something about Renoise that makes me want to do beats…
When I’m sitting in front of cubase/tracktion I have bad memories of crashes, and genrally not having a fun time with them, but already (20 min in) And i’ve created quite a nice drum beat.
I had so much stress with cubase, litrally to the point where I could not launch it, it was that bad… If you want to know why, one of the many reasons, it lost a lot of my mixes because it crashed a lot… and blah… anyway
Yeah, I think I’ll still use tracktion for melody composition (chords)… but for beats and sorting out the audio I’m going to use renoise in future.
p.s. I had an amiga a600 + a1200, ( I was very young, a relative had them ) so I used some random apps on it, one of them being octimed I think.
