Hi all,
I am a long time renoise user, but I use it very “infrequently”. I still have only scratched to surface so far. I finally found the time to experiment with guitar recording in renoise. Since I have never used renoise for recording, I have run into problems very fast that neither the docs nor the forum could answer for me.
This is my “setup”:
-
I use the latest stable renoise release
-
I use a ZOOM G2.1u guitar effects pedal that is plugged in via USB
-
I have selected the ZOOM pedal as Audio Device (ASIO) in Renoise (works so far)
I hear my guitar playing, and I can also record stuff in the sample editor and play it as an instrument in the pattern editor.
Maybe this is all there is to know, but I would like to “ease” my workflow somehow. I dont want to switch to the sample editor and play along the playing song. I want to start recording in the pattern editor by hitting space with global recording an (like I would when recording with a MIDI keyboard) and then start playing the guitar, so that it automatically is recorded to a sample. Is this possible somehow?
Another question would be how to automatically “trim” silcence in my recorded samples. The renoise plugins I have found dont work with the current renoise version.
And last but not least: Is there a way to display the sample waveform for the single tracks inside the pattern editor? I am so used to “seeing” the whole song represented as notes in the pattern view. Now, when recording to samples, all I see is a “C-4” at the beginning of the pattern for each recorded track.
