Render Selection To Sample...

How about…

When you select “Render Selection To Sample”, a little box pops up and asks you what you want to name the sample.

When I make a track, I have HUNDREDS of instruments called “Recorded Selection”. It is very hard to keep track of these, so if I could name them before they are rendered, that would be cool.

Thoughts?

Why not just rename them after you recorded/rendered the selection in the instrumentlist? This idea wouldn’t mean much timesaving.

  • three quarters of a banana. Suppose an “easy” fix would be to take the name from the tracklabel.

what also could be great is if you can mark more than one sample
in the instrument.window and rename them to say:

TremendousHomeMadeSample_01
TremendousHomeMadeSample_02
TremendousHomeMadeSample_03
TremendousHomeMadeSample_04
Sqeekyblarpfx_01
Sqeekyblarpfx_02
Sqeekyblarpfx_03
Grandios_Beat_01
Grandios_Beat_02
Grandios_Beat_03
Grandios_Fill_01
Grandios_Fill_02
and soooo on…

so if you mark more than one sample and rename them,
the solution would be adding numbers at the end.

(I also love gnute’s idea about taking the name from the track)

You have obviously never seen me in the midst of ‘render fury’. No way on earth I am keeping track of all those files.

Also, could the selections please render to the same volume they were being played at in the first place (sans master efects) so that I can do stuff like render a track to sample, then play it back on a new track and not have to figure out the levels again?

This would be so awsome!!!

  • the resulting base key should be the note you have used to trigger the sample, if the selection contains only one note:

if you rendered the following selection:

  
E-4 01 ---  
--- -- ---  
  

the resulting sample should have “E-4” as base note

Plus a billion.

Yeah bloody right!!!

Why does Renoise drop the volume upon render? Makes no sense to me.

And thanks to all the other cool ideas linked to my original idea. Good stuff.

Couldnt it be a checkbox in the preferences menu?

Like:

Ask for name when rendering selection to sample?
“box”

Yeah that is a good idea!

“Also, could the selections please render to the same volume they were being played at in the first place (sans master efects) so that I can do stuff like render a track to sample, then play it back on a new track and not have to figure out the levels again?”

yes I would like that too

conclusion: something should be done with this thing.

after this tread came up, it irritates the squits out of me.

Yeah I have totally no idea why this volume drop happens. If you cant handle your levels you need to stop producing.

Renoise still includes the settings/instances on the mastertrack when
rendering the sound-files right?

Could it have anything with the volume-level
not beeing cranked up to max?

I tested this.

I loaded a .wav into renoise.

didnt touch any of the faders. everything at 0

rendered

rendered wav was more quiet

pain in the arse. sorry!
