Bugfix would be great. Of all the versions of Renoise from 1.0 to now this has crashed more times than any other by a mile…
That’s probably also why they need more time to fix it. You may think a simple bug is an easy fix done in minutes, but i’m pretty shure if it was simple and easy to fix then it would have been done already. Maybe they have to restructure something from the bottom to make it work properly? Maybe they haven’t figured out a good enough solution? I don’t know, but i’m pretty shure it won’t get ready any sooner by speculating and nagging.

Crashed, as in…bringing down the application? That really shouldn’thappen.
Apart from the occasional buggy (and non-sandboxed) plugin, or when really pushing the API to it’s limits, I’m not aware of anything that can cause Renoise 3.1 to crash.
So I’m wondering if there is anything you can do to reproduce these errors? You know, the usual procedure for reporting bugs…
I know there is a maintenance release on the horizon (although I’m not able to say when), and it would be a shame to miss out on something so important. Avoiding crashes is top priority!
Yeah I can crash Renoise too, but it always picks back up where I left off when I restart it so it doesn’t bother me too much. It crashes probably < 1% of the time I use it.
The crashes I have appear to be quite random and by crash I mean, “Renoise has stopped working” back to desktop with no crash file saved. The most common crash I’m having is when going through presets in Serum. Literally clicking to advance from one preset to another can cause a crash. I am aware this may be a problem with the plugin itself and am not nagging or demanding the developers hurry up, just that for me, a more stable version would be nice…
I would love to see Renoise tracker notation alternative to standard piano rolls in Reaper, Bitwig, a few others for times when I need to play with audio files with more visual cue. The latency with Rearoute or ReWire is too much.
I get staying focused; as a developer regularly taking on large-scale POCs and architecture, I want nothing more than to focus on my work and get things done without interference. I just also have an obligation to the people that pay me so they know I’m not just wasting time or getting stuck on dead-ends that will never see the light of day. Now, it’s nice when I get that time, but when someone knocks on my door, I explain what I’m doing, with details, blockers, etc. Part of that is business, but it’s also out of respect - I’m making things better for people, but I like to confirm I’m going in the right direction and solving the right problems, no one is perfect.
Well, now that I can put VST3 and actual side-chaining in Renoise so I can finish projects without another DAW, I’ll get by for the moment. If I have to start breaking out code to set the table for writing music, it’s too far. No time for that.
