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

Yeah got to agree the strings are quite nice indeed;
nice work @eretsua, feels like it may be ‘Japanese Harp’?

@stoiximan BTW, I’m a huge fan of Bouzouki music, would
be cool to try to track a module with one if any Renoise
instruments existed for it.

Thank you! Much appreciated! Yes, Greece has a rich and lovely musical heritage. How much an influence is that on you as a musician?

It is all done in Renoise Sampler. The sources are from an ancient sample cd from the early 2000s. It just has one shots, single articulation, single velocity. 2 or 3 samples per octave. Very limited. So I spent a lot of time trying to make convincing (enough) round robins. Lots of faders, LFOs and velocity trackers.

For the long strings I just took a couple of cycles of the waveform. Loop it to get the right sound but not the shape of the sample. And made a whole new instrument out of it. Again just ADSRs, faders LFOs and velocity trackers. Lot’s of fun!

Then I used the volume column for expression.

Thank you! Also much appreciated!
It sounds quite a bit like a Koto, yes. I love that sound. Anyway, the file name says it is a Kanuun. Which is the Arabian version of a Koto, I guess? You can see an image of one here on wikipedia.

Thanks to you both for listening & commenting! :grinning:

I am born and live in Greece all my life so Greek music is my main inspiration but i have always listened to other foreign music. I plan to do some Greek song covers so you guys can hear what the Greek culture has to offer not only as a listener but as a composer too.

Started this around 7 or 8pm, last 16 bars just loop for a placeholder, but I’m very excited to continue. Only problems I’ve really had is making sure you can hear and feel every element, mainly the flute.

Thank you for taking the time to listen, if you got critique, feel free to send it.

It has a beautiful vibe! Very dreamy. In terms of feedback: Your fast, noisy hihat sound seems overly bright. Happens to me all the time if I spent too long working on something. Anyway, it starts to annoy me because it is playing virtually all the time. I’d recommend try lowering its volume. But be sure to try to add some variation. Around 2:04 you have a laser battle going on. I feel that continues a bit too long maybe.

Anyway, lot of good sounds going on! I definitely see this can go places with a bit more work.

I really admire the complexity of this track, in fact i am quite jealous of this kind of thinking and composing as i my self want to make these kind of tracks but cant really think this way

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll be sure to tame the high-end of that high-hat continuing and trying to add some more variation.

That may be because I have a vol envelope on to kinda get an 808 style sound, regardless, thanks for telling me, I’ll be sure to look into it.

Another thing, why is it when i read your name Marlon Brando comes to mind? :smiley:

Thanks my friend, I didn’t have any energy to create anything for a couple of weeks, my head was totally empty, a bit like in a trance in anticipation of the elections in the USA. Biden has so much dirt stuck and with underage children the fun stops with me and I thought to myself that you can’t choose that has to be locked away. And when the whole domestic press (including all the German filthy newspapers) picks up on your own president, you have to ask yourself what’s going on. It really seems to be a fight between good and bad. Here in Germany we are marching again just like in 1933 in a left-fascist eco-dictatorship and hardly anyone noticed or interested. Until it is too late again, you can hardly discuss it with anyone who only picks up mainstream media. I would really be up to the day if they were on TV say heroin helps against AIDS and I bet many would inject themselves to death. Well, it doesn’t matter politics does not fit here. Just a small note, I have read the book The Art of War, so I partially understand Trump’s statements which at first glance sound foolish to many, which is understandable, such as 5d chess or ultraviolet rays will end the virus. häää what does he want. In the book the Art of War, the most important finding for me is the statement "Only start a war or a fight when you have won it. I suspect that the Democrats have been set up a trap into which they have fallen ( A so-called honey pot trap) Corona and through all the fear mongering of the press you can make a postal vote palatable to people, where this gives a lot of opportunities to manipulate if you stand with your ass against the wall, which was also the case. Out of nowhere you are suddenly right up again and even take the lead … And this is exactly what should be shown to all people around the world, how we human families have been fooled, cheated and exploited or fighting against each other for ages Split into 1000 different camps, which makes us pretty easy to be steered. to bring that to an end.
In the so-called postal voting documents, a watermark was placed in a watermark. A very slightly radioactive substance was probably used. You can make the watermarks visible with ultra violet rays and thus you can determine where the respective paper was made. Since I only listen to my heart when making important decisions, which has never disappointed me, whereas decisions I made with my mind were sometimes wrong … until Christmas we will experience a lot of weird shit but it ends for us all positive. Evil is accused and we can build a system according to our values ​​and work and research together and not against each other. And the bullshit my God is better than yours will also be released in the air. Tens of thousands of great patents that will bring us humanity forward in a positive way. We will no longer pay for electricity, no one needs to go hungry any more, every people has its strengths, we will learn a lot from each other and reunite as a human family, regardless of origin, skin color or religion, as everyone is equal before the law. We had such a law here in imperial times, the citizens did not have to pay taxes, the rich and factory owners had to give up 4 to 14 percent tax and also build the infrastructure, as it says in our law “Wealth obliges” We have that achieved our immense prosperity. All well and good, but not for England, who drove us to war twice by having to fight our tribal brothers from Russia. That should never have happened like this. Nothing happens by chance, for example, look at Ferdinant’s automobile, who was shot, Austria started a war, Germany was allied with Austria at the time and ended up in the shit because we like to keep contracts even if they are so shit. Franz Ferdinant’s car is in the museum in Sarajevo on the license plate there is a date, you can google that and you will not be able to get out of the amazement.
I’m here in the music forum at Renoise or :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Sorry I had no intention of writing a book or preaching here.
Have a nice weekend everyone, I love you all and see you soon PEACE

I live for the day that there we be no borders and all people will be together, but we humans are so selfish and self-destructive that i dont think this day will ever come.I have a theory that once we were in another planet and we did to it what we are doing to our earth now until we blew it up and some of our cells end it up here .I think we will destroy this planet too and move to another then another and so on eventually destroying the whole universe or if there is a God he will stop us.

Something calm:

I tried a different mastering technique, similar to the rear bus technique.
I’m not 100% sure about the highs, but overall it doesn’t sound bad. What do you think?
