I would like to hear your music made with Renoise or other Daws

Another weird one. :slight_smile:

I didn’t make them recently, but I (re-)uploaded them now, so :slight_smile:

What a lovely piano piece!!! You recorded it live yes?

It was recorded live, but it took several weeks to get a decent performance - I don’t play the piano.

I like the second song a lot, sounds like jazz to me :slight_smile: Maybe it could profit by sidechain-ducking the bass by kick? So the bass transient is more precise and simple?


I’m using some slight granular stuff in this one for the first time. :slightly_smiling_face:

i usually route a kick SC into a multiband compressor on the bass track, but didn’t bother to do it with this one for some reason… probably forgot about it, as i started to project in a day and age where a sidechain device was nothing but a renoiser’s wet dream :wink:

i added it now. -9db @450hz and below with a gentle 12db/octave whenever the kick triggers. the difference is rather subtle; it can be heard in the updated audio on soundcloud:

unfortunately YT does not allow uploading an updated audiofile for a video.

thanks for listening and your input ! :slight_smile:

Nice :sunglasses:

Who says good music should be complex?I like the minimalism in your tracks but i would also like the bass to change a bit

Thanks guys! :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s not common in Elektro that a bass changes its frequencies just like for example in Acid, but you can use an Acid bass or similar as a bass in Elektro, then it’s common also to change frequencies. :wink:
Yes, who said that good music should be complex? In reality it’s usually quite the opposite! But I like music to be complex and minimalistic at the same time. I like to have a lot of elements in a song that mesh together pretty well and therefore create a special “vibe” or “groove”. Furthermore there’s a lot of stuff in the background. When it comes to Elektro I mostly need 30 tracks or more. Here’s an image section of what my minimalism always looks like in the matrix, in this case it shows the recent song:

Thanks for the nostalgic impression. :slightly_smiling_face:
According to the stereo sound you didn’t “pimp” your Amiga in terms of sound, right? Personally I’ve soldered together the two sound channels, so that in the end I always got a mono sound. Back then I wanted all 4 tracks to be heard through every speaker instead of 2 tracks left and the other 2 tracks right, and that’s not possible with a common Amiga sound system. Anyway, nice that you still can listen to your 90s stuff! I wish I could do the same, but I don’t have access anymore. I’m afraid it’s gone forever.

A short track about riding my sofa through town.
(Translation in description on soundcloud. It’s a dumb song though.)

This is my first real finished song using Renoise in the style of old school tracker based jungle. Any feedback is welcome!

edit: I always use my pup as a profile pic : )

@TNT Your sounds are always big and strong! Well done. I like that light, floaty pad sound. The bleepy sound that plays throughout gets on my nerves though. Nicely done!

@error.eyes That’s a wonderful dreamy piano piece. Did you also record the piano yourself, or is this a sample library? At any rate the music is lovely. And I can imagine you feeling proud with all the practicing paying off. Very well done!

@TheBellows That picture of a giant robot with hammerhead-shark-head is perfect for the tune. It’s almost like you scored that picture. Telling the story how it stomps around town, bashing building and kick cars. Fun stuff!!

@ToybOx Where can I buy your music? Seriously, your stuff is so good! If you’d put out an album it’d be an instant buy for me. :heart:

@Heptagen Fun little song. It does feel a little bit dull to my ears. But maybe that’s something you were going for. I really like all the little traffic sound effects you’ve blended in. Fun stuff and nicely done!

@dibble Hi dibble, welcome to the Renoise forum! You’re tune has some lovely sounds in it. As you’re asking asking feedback, I feel your drums are kind of boring. They’ve got the right sound but they are just doing the same thing over, and over, and over again. I think that if you add some variation to those to keep things fresh and interesting you’d have a good and very old school track. One more thing, there is a higher sound in there that really hurts my ears. So I’d say this is a really solid start to a tune, but it needs some refining to make to keep my attention / interest. That’s just how I feel, of course.

Are you talking about the one starting at 0:15 that kinda creates the “main melody”? :joy:
In my opinion it’s one of the main elements that makes the track. I like it. But tastes are different, right?

Nice track, it just should end at 3:12 imo. The last section seems to be a copy of the middle part, the only difference is the “uhh” pad that is partially in the “background” (“” because it’s too loud to be considered as background stuff). The mix is relatively good. What was your DAW before you started using Renoise?

I’m sure you would get along with VeitSeiner quite well. :wink:

Indeed. :slightly_smiling_face:
This is absolutely not my taste, but I think it’s generally cool that you’re making music without any concept and specific style. You’re doing what you like, and everytime you’re creating a song you seem to like something else. You are very variable, if one can say so. I never know what to expect.

Nice piece! Have you noticed the noise in the background? It sounds like a radio station wasn’t set 100% correctly. There’s a slight “rustling”, mostly right before you’re hitting the chords.

I’m glad you have.

It’s a piano lib.

Nope, didn’t have any money back then as a teenager and didn’t bother experimenting trying to get a mono sound out of it perhaps through cable hacks(?). Only later in life I heard there also were ways to get higher frequencies out of it, less muffled sound…though never dove into the specifics. I quite like the crunchiness :slight_smile: .

You lost all your disks or are they corrupted? I feel your pain. I still have a bunch of disks that seem un-salvable, glitching into checksum errors no matter the diskdoctor I run them through or other kinds of cleaning methods. Not that the tracks are that valuable musically, they are like little time machines to a simpler life.

Anywho, back to the thread, gabberet records released another oldie of mine in a compilation dedicated to 90’s tracker music. Made in protracker in 1993 heavily sampling ‘tribe called quest - scenario’;

Aha, I see. :joy:

The complete collection of my MODs is on an internal drive of my A1200, but in 1996 this drive stopped booting and I didn’t manage to make it work again. For 17 years my Amigas are stored in the cellar now. Nobody knows if there is still some data on the A1200 drive. I’ve also found some MODs on disks, but these disks are scattered all over the place and there are only a couple of my MODs on disk. 10 years ago I’ve also found some MODs recorded on tape, but not the specific ones I was looking for and besides of that I don’t own a working tape deck anymore. I also don’t have access to my FastTracker stuff on PC anymore. My FastTracker songs were on a drive that got broken, and there are no copies anywhere. So yeah, obviously all my 90s stuff is gone forever. I would LOVE to listen to my first steps in music again. :frowning_face:

Work in progress:

I used Renoise with largely samples. Any tips to get this better? How’s the kick? Style?
