that ascii looks to me like an converted gif image (with one of those cheesy gif2ascii tools).
about the song, sounds nice, but we dont need an ogg, but an real rns without any vst usage.
maybe we could make a deal with some freeware vst authors to include their vst plugins together with the next release, but this is nothing concrete right now.
the ascii was made from scratch, it took about 20 minutes, it’s not finished just an idea.
and the ogg is a dump of an rns using no vsts. here’s the original:
http://indigo.13th-floor.org/doublerocker.rns
it was late i was experimenting with the $$ i think i like it better w/ 'M’s check it again:
http://indigo.13th-floor.org/rnmds.txt
thanx for the feedback everyone! 
The rns is over 7MB (5MB when packed to zip), I guess this is way too big for distributing with Renoise. Some people surf the web with modems…
Word
There are some SWEET tracks from those battles.
EDIT: Or we could have a new battle, use our own samples, and see who’ll get the honor to represent renoise in its demo?
Renoise-Demo-Battle…
And of course we should make sure to make use of most of renoise’s features.
The three winners of the battle could be added with the renoise-downloads in the future.
now thats a nice idea, dufey ! what about a 250k limit per song (zipped) and no vsts, but no other limits ?! this would be cool.
Renoise-Demo-Song compo sounds good to me. we will discuss this issue this saturday. i will let you know.
well, your track is really good. the only problem with it now is its size. 5 megs is way to much - considering renoise installer is about 3 mb with the current demo songs.
anway. there is still an option. i will toy a bit with the current install system we use. it supports installing files from the internet. of course this would be an optional taks for ppl connected to the internet.
i got it under 3mb. (resampled and channel converted one of the more ambient sounds)
Two different pack are a nice idea.
One as it s now ( or even lighter)
One with more Track, some Vsti, preset and such. so people will see how adding a vsti etc. i guess that 15-20 mega is enough.
maybe we will se an improved vsti management system, too.
Nice idea also the TUTORIAL Song contest.
ciao!

okay, pulsar was so nice to put it up :
this tune is utter crap except for showing a good way to work with the LFOs, maybe you people can do something better ? I guess thats what would fit in an renoise install, a few songs, each under 500kb which show a particular feature of renoise. this song I made might be used for the LFO thing and to show that renoise can do acid with a simple looped saw-wave, the filter and some distortion …
but to be honest, acid is not my style at all (as you can hear), but this was hacked together pretty fast.
well… this is not really suitable as an example song, but anyhow…
that’s my weirdest module ever:
Schizopodia
It’s just 29kB, so at least it could give an idea about ReNoise’s capabilities, though nearly everyone will find it unbearable
maybe demos and tutorials and free vsti should be packaged separately? it’s quite hard nowadays to get a small and good sounding tune. anyway, the smallest-module-is-best novelty wore off rather long ago
I dont see any need to change the current songs and tutorials, they work, sound good, low in kb, and shows the stuff. But yes, a place on the web where even more demo and tutorial songs can be downloaded could be an idea.
Florian, nice tune 
It-Alien, thanks for the warning… maybe the Americans should use that instead of metallica on their POWs 
ahh forgot to log in 
you can check out my older tunes at http://desimal.iuma.com … but for this i think id do someting more downtempo and funky
about max size… if it gets below 500-700kb when crunched (rar, zip, bzip), it could make it into the installer package.
Any tips to share for tracking dnb? (Some of the techniques aren’t too obvious if you’re new to tracking - like I discovered the “add a sustain point and low fade out on the amp envelope to simulate release” technique just yesterday after downloading an old IT file.)
ok thanks pulsar
for tracking dnb … wish i could say for renoise but i just started to check out the new features (lots of wicked new stuff compared to old fast tracker!) i do most of my editing outside of the tracker and just import loops. one good trick for drums / hats and percussion is to put a ED1 or ED2 on the off notes, adds a small delay before the sample hits so you get that shuffled sort of funky effect. works good on drum rolls … also for drum rolls put R01 - R03 and it will retrig the sample a bit, so it rolls a bit. for pads sometimes i double them up, pan one hard left and one right, and put slight vibrato on one of them, for a stereo flanging effect. i think thats a common technique tho. this is for fast tracker mind you i assume its the same in renoise …
Cheers for the ideas mate, will have to begin to think in terms of delays and retriggers more often.
(I think ED1 in Fasttracker translates to D1 in the panning row or 0D01 in the effect row in Renoise, and R01 in Fasttracker translates to E1 in the panning row or 0E01 in the effects row in Renoise.)
Looza that was a really cool funky beat, you should make a song out of it!
hehe, after all someone who likes it … which just proves my theory that every music has its listener. even if its only the one who made it. (and if you cant listen to your own music, then something is really wrong).
