Most psy trance producers rehash the same old ideas and I get bored easily.The thing I like about you is that although you use a lot of the same elements you don’t restrict yourself to the same old stuff,you do your own thing and I personally don’t think you are a psy trance producer.I can’t name the genre you belong to, but who cares if the music is good anyway?

my files is too big, we need a good server to post these on,.i’m a new convert to sample only songs. if you think of it like software, they are cross platform just like renoise, it makes it so much easier to share xrns songs between people. lets get a server going to host them on, Ill help pay. …samples only!
Hurray !
New 10 tracks album released on bandcamp, almost completly made in Bitwig, I used Redux tho, and some breaks has been worked in renoise…

Love it! Stupid question: why Bitwig?

Why Bitwig?
Some points:
- It’s modulation system allows a deep, complex control and fine tuning of params. It’s so much fun when you set up a satisfying patch and adding VCV rack to that is a literal godmode.
- Drag and drop tracks/instruments setups between projects.
- Possibility to have samplers nested in a drum machine allowing many breaks in one sampler (with break selection control and adding the modulations I want).
- The ability to force harmonization of tracks using devices and MIDI receives.
But Bitwig needs further dev. in many aspect :
- I still can’t just use the keyboard as much as I do in Renoise…many functions don’t have keyboard shortcuts in Bitwig.
- The sampler, can’t timestrech/wrap to tempo as do Live’s one.
- I would like to have the MIDI comping like they did with audio comping : what you record is stored in a container that can be cut and be use for montage by selecting chunks of what as been recorded takes over takes.

A simple flute drill beat. I’m telling you Renoise is a monster when it comes to Drill
Another dark drill beat, ahh what the heck I exclusively use Renoise anyway
Subscribe to my yt if you’re interested in hearing trap, drill and reggaeton made in renoise. Just started my channel yesterday

Having never needed any plugins, I can easily share to this thread. Be gentile though. This first one is a work in progress. It only uses 5 unique blocks in the whole song so far! The synths are self-made from basic waveforms and filters. The drums are selected from samples that came with Renoise.

This next one was my first attempt at automation using a modified drumkit that came with Renoise. Unfortunately that drumkit by itself is bigger than the upload size here on the forum so I had to post the file externally. Other than the modern sound, the lyrics (listed in the box) and melody are a 90 year old hymn!

Wow, I’ve never seen someone using a default pattern length of 32. Have you just started making music? These two musical pieces are nice approaches. Of course I assume that these pieces aren’t finished yet (as you said, WIP for the first one), because on one hand they are way too short to be called “songs” and on the other hand there are only a couple of basic instruments and it sounds pretty empty overall. It sounds like Amiga music made for any sort of small intro. You’re using Renoise now, so don’t be shy and use its possibilities, you don’t have to limit yourself to a couple of tracks and instruments. You can use as much tracks and instruments as you need. Just take advantage of it and fill the gaps. And your music would also benefit from working on the mix, especially in terms of the first piece. 
I’ve never recorded a piece professionally, but the first one, “Hozanna Shout”, I started out stretching the capabilities of my brand new Amiga 1200 back in 1993. I never wrote lyrics for it which is why I don’t have any verses for it. It also lacks a melody as a result.
The second one, “This World is Not My Home”, has 4 total verses worth of lyrics and the chorus after each. It’s an old hymn from the 1930s remixed for the present time.
Both of them include synths that I invented myself from simple C64-style primitive waveforms and filters. (Yes I’m that old. I had a C64 and later a C128 until I graduated high school.)
Thanks. I’ll need to work on some more synths then.
Yes. The second piece was originally in 4-part harmony and has lyrics to go with it. The first piece, not even a melody nor lyrics. It really needs both.
So you used samples that you have created on C64? And no worries, I’m “that old”, too. I first played on Atari 2600 until I got a C64 at the age of 9 and a couple of years later I started making music on Amiga 500.
Actually, no. I started with a square wave, a sawtooth wave, and a triangle wave and fed them all through various filters so they wouldn’t sound like a chiptune but in truth, apart from the drum and cymbal samples, the first piece is really a chiptune. I used the same techniques for synthesis as I learned on my SID chip enabled 8-bit computers. I used the C128 long enough to get the feel for it. (The C64 had a bad power supply so the sound didn’t work on it.)
The A500 was a whole different ballgame with chord samples and drum loops. There were just so many ways you could “cheat” by using sample tricks to make up for the 4 voice limit.
The reason for the short blocks
I forgot to mention why I use short blocks most of the time. The fact that I can reuse the blocks many times reduces my editing time when making a song.
The first piece uses only 5 unique blocks but deactivates some of the tracks in each block during the intro, adds a few more afterwards and when it gets past the bridge that disables the drums and needs a verse before and after, it has cymbals and drums in the outro added in with all of the tracks active at once. The loop follows a pattern using the following blocks 0, 1, 0 again, then 2. The cymbal in the rest drop near the end has a block to itself and the quick, final note at the end have blocks to themselves. Blocks 3 and 4 are the exception, not the rule in my songs. Usually either the blocks or the tracks within the blocks are reused extensively like blocks 0, 1 and 2.
In the second piece, I reused the entire intro as the outro without needing to enter a single note for them. Yes, I reused all the blocks there too. Since the melody uses different rhythms for each verse, I used track-aliases for all the non-melody parts. It makes the editing easier there too.
I learned the block reuse techniques on Amiga’s MED, later OctaMED, OctaMED SoundStudio, MilkyTracker on Amiga, Linux and Mac, ProTrekr on Linux and finally Renoise on Linux. (I don’t often do Windows.)
