First Renoise Track

Fairly new to Renoise, and I’m still getting to grips with it but here’s my first fully-fledged track created entirely with it – up until now I’ve been reworking my old XMs as a learning exercise. Enjoy! (Or not.)

Lot of facets in this song sounds pretty interesting, but there are too many factors too repetitive to keep the listener interested. Specially the lack of change in keystructure is a songwaster. If you heard the first minute of the song, you heard the whole song in practical sense.
If you add more variations in the song scheme, it would most likely make it worthwhile to listen the song from start to end. Variations does not only boil down to changing instruments, vocal samples and effects here and there.

Thanks for the feedback; it does definitely drag on a little and a key-change here and there would help, but it was largely an experiment in getting to grips with automation, using my MIDI controller, and how well Renoise would work in a live situation (the song structure was built on the fly out of several small chunks, and some parts were played live) – it turns out the answer to that is “it works, but the interface isn’t optimal for the task”. :)

very nice work for a first song. My first attempts are much shorter. I like the speech you have in the background about spacetime. Keep posting, I wanna hear ur new stuff. Are you also on Soundcloud Renoise group? :yeah:

Live parts, yes that is a thing that eats up quite some time to get it in and get it in right.
The majority of things that you do in the song is really alright so don’t change that. Just try to avoid the repetition at this scale, not only section wise but there were also some “background” arpeggio-schemes (they sounded a bit too much upfront imho) that just went on and on without changing, these kind of repetitive factors don’t do a song real good either.
Some get away with it by at least alter various tracks within these sections and leave the keystructure as it is. But they noticably change rythm of various tracks and or leave out specific parts and or add other track variations.
That personally is not really my favorite either but is more bearable.
