Bad Ideas Thread

[TheBellows]

I would think it was nice too maybe, but still a very bad idea

@TheBellows

Make the default interface and startup screen in Renoise full of chicks and cannabis leafs.

thats a great idea. could someone make a weed renoise theme?

personally, i think the coolest thing about this is the Renoise logo in the upper right corner instrument window. if you want it, here it is, put it in /Skin/Logos/SmallLogo.bmp

that is excellent! using it and looks great

@Joel Johansson

Make the demo version nagware. Add a voice stating “This is renoise demo version” at regular intervals when playing/rendering.

In a registered version the same voice stating “This is a registered version!” followed by ‘what is love, baby don’t hurt me’ 5 second sample, at slightly longer periods of time.

whehehe lot’s off great bad ideas here!

Make all scroll bars infinite.

• support 0 CPUs laptops and desktops

• simple PC speaker output (like in FT2)

• delete every working vst(i) plugin and keep the failed ones

• negative Font H-Spacing or Font V-Spacing values

• customise metronome sound bips (ability to replace it by farts)

• integrated renoise songs obfuscator :

• convert every text (track names, sample names, dsp names, song names, song comment…) to hex names, example “Track 1”= “547261636b2031” and being able to un-obfuscate it through a reverse function “4b69636b2031” = “Kick 1”
• revert all samples in the memory and add a 0B00 command to play them backward
• fill every space in unused tracks by adding short useless samples (1 sec of silence) and randomly selected useless commands such as 0900…
• scramble samples order, or instruments order
• use a black pattern background with a black main pattern font

• During software inactivity, Renoise could launch a new grid computing background process called STI - Search for Terrestrial Intelligence. What would raise CPU to 98% or 99% and keep a constant cpu fan background noise (credits : original idea developped at http://totl.net/STI/ ).

• render disk to song

• and why not adding printer or scanner output support?

• randomize keyboard shortcuts with one hidden shortcut which “format c:”

• keyboard leds vu-meter

Yep. The absence of this has completed my impression that Renoise is still quite far from real professional software.

A real professional software needs to:

• start up in no less than a minute, showing marquee progress bar(-s) and various very meaningful messages, including (but not limited to):

• Initializing
• More initializing
• Scanning for unconnected devices
• Recalculating color profiles
• Loading selected sample assets
• Decompressing integrated solution manager
• Connecting to DRM provider driver (possibly resulting in a bluescreen as it’s not x64 compatible. But you cannot… and SHOULDN’T… run Renoise without an active Internet connection! Or you’re most likely up to something)
• Checking for software updates (with Cancel button that is either always disabled or does nothing)
• Installing updates (obviously whole Windows restart is required in this case)
• Configuring user interface
• Reducing lifespan of all detected hard drives
• Synchronizing clocks with Pango-Pango
• Calling mom
• Wasting more time

• spawn several autostarting background processes and services, including (but not limited to):

• Renoise Background Active System Tray Agent (BASTA)
• Renoise Cache Foundation Support
• Renoise Error Reporting Configuration Service
• Renoise User Experience Policy Management Engine
• Renoise Integrated Intelligent Update Center
• Renoise Quantum Cryptography Provider

• register several hundred of useless and unrelated COM controls upon installation

These are not by any means bad ideas. This is real professional software development. cough Probably I should musicate moar than think up such sh**, no?

possible. browse through your Renoise folder. there’s a metronome.wav somewhere.

[badresistor]

each Renoise release comes with a code name, e.g. [b]fisty fumbler[/b] or [b]pinky pancreas[/b] or [b]croatian creation[/b] or [b]woofy wanker[/b] OR… er… heck, make it a triple word name! … [b]jitter jeez johny[/b]!

sorry, [b]woofy wobbler[/b] is more like it…
say, donnit need a seperate thread-eh?

Gabber kickzz!!

[vincentvc (woponep)]

place the word “Fruity” in front of every dsp.

True, I’ve found it in the Skin sub-folder (example for Win7 64bits : C:\Program Files (x86)\Renoise 2.7.1\Skin)

And why not adding a new HD based speaker output?
