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

Another weird one. :slight_smile:

I didnā€™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 donā€™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?


Iā€™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 didnā€™t bother to do it with this one for some reasonā€¦ probably forgot about it, as i started to project in a day and age where a sidechain device was nothing but a renoiserā€™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:

Itā€™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 itā€™s common also to change frequencies. :wink:
Yes, who said that good music should be complex? In reality itā€™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 ā€œvibeā€ or ā€œgrooveā€. Furthermore thereā€™s a lot of stuff in the background. When it comes to Elektro I mostly need 30 tracks or more. Hereā€™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 didnā€™t ā€œpimpā€ your Amiga in terms of sound, right? Personally Iā€™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 thatā€™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 donā€™t have access anymore. Iā€™m afraid itā€™s gone forever.

A short track about riding my sofa through town.
(Translation in description on soundcloud. Itā€™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 Thatā€™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. Itā€™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 youā€™d put out an album itā€™d be an instant buy for me. :heart:

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

@dibble Hi dibble, welcome to the Renoise forum! Youā€™re tune has some lovely sounds in it. As youā€™re asking asking feedback, I feel your drums are kind of boring. Theyā€™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 youā€™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 Iā€™d say this is a really solid start to a tune, but it needs some refining to make to keep my attention / interest. Thatā€™s just how I feel, of course.

Are you talking about the one starting at 0:15 that kinda creates the ā€œmain melodyā€? :joy:
In my opinion itā€™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 ā€œuhhā€ pad that is partially in the ā€œbackgroundā€ (ā€œā€ because itā€™s too loud to be considered as background stuff). The mix is relatively good. What was your DAW before you started using Renoise?

Iā€™m sure you would get along with VeitSeiner quite well. :wink:

Indeed. :slightly_smiling_face:
This is absolutely not my taste, but I think itā€™s generally cool that youā€™re making music without any concept and specific style. Youā€™re doing what you like, and everytime youā€™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 wasnā€™t set 100% correctly. Thereā€™s a slight ā€œrustlingā€, mostly right before youā€™re hitting the chords.

Iā€™m glad you have.

Itā€™s a piano lib.

Nope, didnā€™t have any money back then as a teenager and didnā€™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 soundā€¦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 90ā€™s tracker music. Made in protracker in 1993 heavily sampling ā€˜tribe called quest - scenarioā€™;

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 didnā€™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. Iā€™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 Iā€™ve also found some MODs recorded on tape, but not the specific ones I was looking for and besides of that I donā€™t own a working tape deck anymore. I also donā€™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? Howā€™s the kick? Style?
