I’m curious to know if anyone has ever completed an orchestral track in Renoise before. All I’ve been seeing on YouTube is just jungle drum and bass. Not a dig at anyone making that kinda stuff; I like a bit a jungle myself :), but I feel like Renoise is powerful enough where you can do so much with it. This is a question that’s been burning into my conscience recently and I just want to get it out of the way. I’d like to know your responses, if I may.
edit: Sorry, I haven’t gotten through with the responses like I should have. Work got in the way and became a bit too much. So much so that I haven’t had the time to produce anything meaningful altogether (I’ve forgotten this forum existed, so there’s also that). But I am here, I read through all the comments, and I am very happy with the responses I’ve gotten. This is more than enough and I am thankful for it. Ableton is still my go-to for the moment, but with enough practice, I can start thinking about making the switch over to Renoise. I don’t doubt that it’s a solid build….because it is!
Also, the forums website has went through a MASSIVE overhaul, good God! It’s much more sleeker than I remember!
Yes, Renoise works well for most genres imo, including orchestral. If you are recording the instruments live it might be tricky, since Renoise does not have the easy visual feedback for long recordings that other DAWs have. However, if you are using MIDI then it will work just fine.
Counterpoint can be difficult to follow at first without the visualization of a piano roll, but there are some piano roll tools if you would really prefer the visualization. On the other hand, once you get used to reading the tracker notes in the pattern view, it can be very nice to edit everything in one spot, rather than jumping in between patterns like with many other DAWs.
