you are going to see renoise 2 in the year 2009 with exactly the same set of features as renoise 2 in 2008, since it’s already “as good as” finished.
and by the way… it always makes a good impression to talk about nice new features without actually stating what those nice new features are supposed to look like.
so essentially it’s always about nice new features, no matter what they are - they just gotta be nice and new !
I´ll proberly get flamed for asking this question. But the search function didn’t help me out much (except, from what i can tell, audiotracks has been discussed for the last 5 years)
I think it’s about “freezing” tracks, rendering them; to save CPU, but also for not having to rewind when working on stuff with very long samples (vocals etc.)
