I use Renoise working the ways C64 SID Trackers did (like Voicetracker 4.x as an example) and with sounds designed with stock samples in Renoise exclusively.

I really like the effort you put into it (also aesthetic wise).
Although i find the title a bit misleading.At first i thought you use renoise as sequencer linked somehow to a real mos sid and then send the output back to renoise.
I feel like this thread would be full of user posts if it didnāt have the āno pluginsā rule. Very few people make Renoise without use of any plugins. So, no shock there arenāt that many actual songs shared in here, overall.
Yeah, I know, thereās the other thread, but that one is TOO permissive, since it doesnāt even have Renoise as an actual requirement for sharing.
I want to hear what people do in Renoise as their primary DAW, with plugins. You know, like Mitch Murder does 
Then start that thread 
Meh, I politely disagree - itās more interesting seeing what people cobble together using just native Renoise stuff 
Iāll allow thatās obviously just my personal preference though. Iām wholly uninterested in the latest and greatest EDM beat VST for Windows and MAC or whatever, but rather am always amazed when I see what people achieve using just Renoise for sound design and mixingā¦!

Funny, itās quite the opposite for me. I agree with @mholloway . 
I would like to see the full potential of Renoise (which includes the usage of VSTs) and Iām less interested in self imposed limitations and sample based stuff only (aka the stuff just like probably most of us worked in the past without the possibilities that weāve got today). Of course any form of Renoise usage has its place and shows the potential of Renoise, just think about the videos by @slujr or the expansions (tools) by all those coders. Itās the same DAW, but different approaches how to work. I like it that there are several options. I mean, thereās even a piano roll available. WTF?!

Absolutely fair argument, 100%. And much respect to you and all Renoise users and varying uses thereof.
Sample based composition came late for me so I guess thatās why Iām more interested in the Renoise native stuff of late (my background is playing instruments, recording to tape / digital recorders, learning in studios etc). Also I grew up poor too so had to compromise a lot and just be creative with limitations haha, I guess that had an influence.
Also Iām always impressed with minimalist approaches although I allow that would include a project with a low track count and only few VSTs but lots of automation and creative mixing (etc etc). Itās really interesting to think about actually.
I remember being blown away when I first heard that To Record Only Water For 10 Days was a home recording done on an 8 track tape with just an SM58 for the acoustic elements or something.

Much respect to you as a singer and guitarist using Renoise.
I was a kid when I started making music, so I was poor, too. Limitations were normal, so I had to be creative to get something cool out of a 4 track tracker and 8bit sample quality. But why should I continue that way if there is so much more nowadays? The creativity is still there, but the limitations are gone.Thereās no reason for voluntary limitations. I want it all.

First one I made. I think itās alright; bit repetitive but nonetheless I find I can listen to it for hours and hours without it getting to boring and whatnot so I guess thatās good.

I just made a folder last night of 161 generative loops (8/22-12/22) that have (almost) all native plug-ins ā altho some in the series use Glitch2 from Illformed.
anyhow, Iām excited to share them with anyone who is interested in checking them out.
would someone recommend a good way to host and post these?
ā¦ or is this a bad idea and should I post only one example?
I would like to get into a groove of trading xrns files with people on here. seems like a fun idea

How big is the file? I think if itās under 2mb you can upload on the forum. Dunno if that would be too tedious to break it downā¦ This thread or the Renoise Mutant Sound and Processing Department thread are good candidates, imo.
By all means, post an example or 3
Wow! This is incredible! Awesome chip skills! Minute thirty in and im dancing happily = )

Thank you! Used some new mixing and mastering techniques for this one, and thought it came out sounding pretty good, although I think the balance is a little off for some of the elements. Will do another draft if it makes it to an album release
