[solved] Rendering To Disk Produces Silent File

[Mane]

Hi,

Jenoki was helping me with this in the IRC channel and he couldn’t work out the problem.

• I open the .xrns file here: - https://rcpt.yousendit.com/2013608556/4683066060235bcb56a5ceb6e55b966e?cid=tx-02002208350200000000&s=19105
• Select Render Song to Disk
• I’ve tried Realtime and Offline settings, .wav and .flac in the File Settings and I’ve tried with both on-board sound and external MAudio F-410 sound card in the Audio Settings
• The resulting file is always silence; the same length of silence as the song!
• I’ve tried playing the file in VLC, iTunes and OS X Preview - All silent
• I’ve tried opening the file in Audacity, I see a blank/flat waveform. - http://postimage.org/image/mwfrqlpv7/ea75b6a5/

Jenoki was able to render the file from the .xrns with no problems, so what could be wrong with my set-up?!?

I hope I’ve provided enough detail. Please let me know if there’s anything else I should say, screenshots you want to see etc.

(P.S. the song is a joke, don’t judge )

The song also rendered fine here.

Have you tried to re-download and re-install Renoise? It’s possible that your installation has become corrupt somehow.

That’s sorted it straight away! Thanks dBlue!

That should have been the first thing that I tried once Jenoki managed to render the file.

I wonder how my copy could have become corrupted?? I notice the copy I was using is a local copy I made of the original .app file, as this seems to be the only way to run two instances of Renoise (for copy/paste purposes etc) concurrently on OS X, or am I wrong about that??
