So I’ve recently begun the switch from Reason 4 to Renoise. The whole thing is that, while I liked Reason, it’s sequencer wasn’t able to do the things I wanted to do and the lack of VST plugin support was a real downer. I’ve switch over to Renoise, and from my limited exposure, it’s great, I have alot of fun using it.

My first question: Is it possible to use Renoise a MIDI sequencer from AudioMulch using something like LoopBe1 or MIDIYoke? Or should I use something like REAPER or Energy XT and then Rewire it to Renoise?

My other question is…

Is it possible to use export something from AudioMulch into Renoise as a pattern? Or will I have to take what I’m doing in AudioMulch, export it as a sound file and than beat slice it in Renoise?

Once again, I’m new to using my computer to make music, and my knowledge is limited. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. But what are you trying to do? You want to import your existing MIDI music into Renoise?

Yes.

@Bantai

If AudioMulch can export MIDI files (.mid), Renoise can import them.

Awesome.

@Bantai

Also possible, but probably not easy and won’t always give satisfying results. Depends on the type of music really.

I was doing it this way and it was taking for every. As I said, I’m new to working with alot anything outside of Reason 4.

Note that MIDI files are comparable to notation (ie. notes, volume, panning, automation). Unless you’re only working with external MIDI hardware, it will in most cases be very difficult to convert a song from one audio application to another one.

If you’re taking advantage of AudioMulch’s built-in propietary synthesizers and effects, those won’t be ported over. You’d have to emulate them in Renoise. Synthesizers can be replaced with VSTi plugins. Drums can be substituted for samples or again, VSTi plugins. Renoise has built-in effects of its own, but they are different then AudioMulch’s, so there is no direct translation.

As you said, the alternative is chopping up rendered music from AudioMulch, but it’s not ideal and takes forever. Dunno, converting songs isn’t exactly a fun job.Maybe a better idea to finish existing projects in Audiomulch and start new songs in Renoise.

Ok. Thats the trouble I’m have, I am able to load my VST plugins in to Renoise, so thats working out well. Something that I wasn’t able to do in Reason. Cool, thanks for the advice. I’m working with plugins like DBlue Glitch and I’m using my keyboard, that some built in MIDI capability to it. I’ll probably just ditch AudioMulch and working with Renoise than.
