Purchased today, after demo-ing for 60 hours, according to the Renoise nag screen. (I’m pretty sure that half of that time I just had the app open, but wasn’t actually using it.)
Reasons for buying: (i) good price point; (ii) the workflow suits my brain better than linear DAWs; (iii) simple to use, but lots of depth.
(Thanks to the devs for the 60 (?!) hours of almost fully functional testing time.)
I bought my copy a while ago but did not notice this thread. 2.8.1ing and it’s great. I was searching for something new for a while and I tried demos of many DAWs. I have been on been on trackers for a very long time and was thinking about changing everything to have a fresh start and see if it helped my music (I’ve been having writer’s block and unfinished songs for a year).
Renoise struck a chord with me (LOL) and I decided not to leave the tracker interface since Renoise gave me nearly everything I was wanting. I’m 100% on Renoise now. So glad I didn’t waste money on a horizontal DAW and possibly hated it. Plus, I’m no longer uninspired and can make tracks I feel happy about again. Woot.
60 hours for me, too! I was shocked how fast time went when using. I knew it was time to purchase. />
Bought it a few months ago after pirating every single DAW/synth/effect on the planet for years. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did for music. I’m pretty much all native now. Big ups <3
tried the demo like 3 years ago… made my head hurt.
revisited the demo last week… made my head hurt.
still makes my head hurt but the wiki has helped a ton.
