Bad Ideas Thread

ocular rift support, no better yet renoise on google glass

Fixed :lol:/>

Just one button - Play/record when not playing and stop when playing. drops the mic

PC speaker native support :wink:

How about a "print song toperforated paper"feature?

Then we can feed our songs into vintage player pianos? :smashed:

  1. hotkey chords for more complex functionality
  2. mirror/ reflect ui for greater randomness
  3. circle (or infinity) shaped sequencer for better composing.
  4. close renoise forum one day a week for people to make more noise

Ditch the personalised installers and use iLok.

Self-destructing patterns:

Patterns destroy themselves when played on a loop for a set time limit to encourage compositional development.

Renoise should display a big warning message after spending too much time with it like: “Attention!! Now it’s time to go to school/work” :smiley:

really bad idea

Renoise is now free, but is ad supported and includes a store for microtransactions. Want the vowel filter? Only $2!

Genious! One cent for every note entered!!

Render song to Microsoft Paint

Smell detection generates custom waveforms

Unlock hidden characters eg Dr Eggman and Frank Spencer

creating folders of folder in subfolder to the collect samples when saving like other PRO DAWs do

That’s actually a good idea, actually getting tired of having to wait 30 seconds for Renoise to hang while it resaves the entirety of the .xrns every time I hit ctrl s. If you’re using large .xrni’s, this gets old really fast. There’s a reason all the “Pro DAWS” do it that way. As long as Renoise had a tiny sample cap, it was ok-ish, because it was “just a tracker”. Since now they’re really pushing the sampler aspect of Renoise though, and the sample cap is thousands instead of 256, I really think it’s time this concept was revisited.

oh no,
that was a bad idea!

i love how it works with just one file - thats great great for me.

It works great as long as your .xrns is realllllly small. If your .xrns grows to 1 gb or more it’s a huge pain in the ass.

.xrns - whole project

.xrnn - only “note data”, only the xml stuff

.xrnd - only sample data in one file

.xrnl - interchange with .xrnd, but just containing local links to samples

.xrnn and .xrnd/.xrnl go hand in hand, and can be merged to an .xrns for transfer or backup.

This ought to be a good idea. But is probably deemed “bad” by many people. It might be more efficient, but complicates stuff up to a point where newbies would “leave this daw™” because they just don’t get it, or spam the forums with hate mails because they lost their work as they’ve backuped the wrong format.

But wanna Wollmilchsau?

Replace all the demo tracks with fart songs.
