Production Wiki/site/tutorials

p.s. whoa, I’d like an edited version without all the unfunny storytelling heh.

But the basic concept with “a lot of pages at top level” sorted by chronology (starting with the basics, ending up with platinum album production level stuff :P) -> +1! All I personally can offer is web ninjitsu, otherwise I need to read and heed tutorials, surely not write them, sorry X|

Calling the sub-website tutorials was a poor choice as Taktik and I agreed to transform whatever i already put online on my personal site, to a complete manual.

A manual in general usually describes the basic use of the various features of an application. Another thing why it doesn’t go too deep is because of workflow methodology (more about that later), who am i as a manual writer to dictate someone how to exactly use an application? The manual should allow anyone to shape his / her own workflow and with help of the other stuff around, find the path to develop his/her personal skills using Renoise.

The manual should however advertise links to the other sources which i intend to add sooner or later if i have the time and my PC is unpacked again (recently moved).

Renoise InDepth isn’t being kept up to date. I see good trickeries being posted in the Tips and Tricks forum but not all posters have access to the InDepth pages. Some of the recent posts could simply be added there.

Also the InDepth pages could be advertised better which includes a reference somewhere on the manual pages, i see questions appearing here on the board that has answers on those pages.

Another thing about the InDepth site is the categories might as well cloak the inside material too much and maybe some topics aren’t attached to all the related categories.

You have to search by either browsing the categories or using the search function in the hope your question related topic is in there.

With the eveolving of Renoise come along various ideas to boost the workflow and enhance inspiration opportunities which are actually the main goals in every aspect you mentioned above and nothing more.

So what we can do to inventory is classify aspects for workflow improvement and how they relate or actively link to eachother.

Classify aspects for inspiration enhancement. (Contests, co-op and other songprojects)

The last classification is easier than the first one:of workflow methodologies exists a massive 1001+ amount how folks desire to create and produce (which clearly demonstrates the versatility Renoise has got to offer).

So if you can classify the general workflow methodologies, then i think you have a bigger chance to hit the nail on the biggest part of its head.

convert indepth to a wiki kthx ^_^

Given everything vV has mentioned and what Byte just said I agree with Byte. A public/reg.user wiki.

So, if I understand correctly, you want some sort of outpost for general production techniques, geared towards renoise users? I agree, most of the info on this site is related to just the mechanics of tracking, and not much else.

But to what extent would this be better than just using kvraudio or any other site for that info? I mean, are the production techniques in renoise that much different?

The following thread, along others like it should be in the Wiki:

https://forum.renoise.com/t/build-new-system-dual-or-quad-core/23899

The forums are starting to get played out IMHO. People don’t bother to use the search function. General knowledge turns into a thread instead of a document. Three months pass and someone new comes to the forum and starts something that was beaten to death a few months back. I’m as much to blame as anyone (look at any XRNS-PHP thread, for example).

I’m very interested in:

  • Any general knowledge, that can be updated, should be.
  • Anyone who is a Renoise user should be allowed to edit that general knowledge.
  • A moderator should be alerted to changes, and edit accordingly.

Forums have their place, but a knowledge repository is not one of them.

PS: I’m posting before 2009 because my contractual obligations have relaxed; allowing me to venture back into procrasturbation territory. So, hi.

Good points in favor of a wiki.

Bantai has set up a wiki:
http://www.renoise.com/wiki/

I added a page:
http://www.renoise.com/wiki/Slewing

Someone fix my crap, I don’t know wiki syntax worth shit.

Some suggestions for new pages:

  • Explain how VST work on a macintosh and the differences between a universal binary vs PPC/Intel only Start here.
  • Explain multicore. Start here
  • A list of free VST/AU/LADSPA plugins. Which ones are for Mac, Which ones are for Windows, Etc.
  • List of breakcore artists who use Renoise.
  • How to use a compressor.
  • Anything worth reading, go nuts, be creative.

Let’s unleash some chaos and learn as we go, get the momentum going here. We’ll edit, adjust and revert as we go.

Go!

frequently asked questions! might be a good idea to collect most of them first before starting to make individual pages.

Absolutely excellent gents! Well done! Nice long term project for 2009. I shall be slowly filling it up with stuff.

STOP!!! BEFORE WE DO TOO MUCH!!!

Lets integrate with IPB so we don’t all need separate login credentials: http://www.ipbwiki.com/Ipb_Wiki:Integratio…_with_MediaWiki

Things are shaping up, great work Foo? and Bantai.

I :wub: this wiki. Now I’ve got something constructive to do with my quiet moments at work.

:walkman:

Renoise Knowledge Base? Renoise Science!

nag edit: thanks so so much for adding my name to the wiki! but my url is www.benefitoftheboomerang.com ;)

Cheers, did so ;) Gonna keep an eye on this!

It could have been worse kaneel, I could have labelled you as a

“French Artist”.

Not for now, but if spambots get a sniff of the site, the wiki will be crowded with pornspam or money-spam.

That happened on the manual site as well.

btw, the manual site had user-contribution pages which hardly got extended by users.

That is why i removed the “edit” links → lack of interest by voluntary 3rd party editors.

Hahaha! No thanks.

Try that one out…

I think it’ll be slow, it’s something I can only chip away at every now and then during quiet moments at work. Links to it could be a little more visible, but give it time in a year or two it could be a good bible.
