Some Ideas Like Paused Recording And

Hi!

I think I found something that is missing in Renoise but would be useful to implement [if it already does exist without me knowing about it]. I will try to explain:

  1. Shift + Click on Record and Recorder will be on new, READY mode, waiting for user to start playing something on keyboard. When user touch keyboard for the first time - Recording will START recording.

This would be very useful if pattern begins with chords mode.

and / or

1a) Shift + Alt + Click on Record and Metronome should be played 4/4 first [as blank, pause, counting 4/4][so we can prepare for recording] and then recording will start.

  1. Right Click on Tracks should have Remove Empty Tracks
  • Also would be nice if we will have removed all empty spaces between removed instruments when Remove Unused Instruments…
  1. In ADVANCED PATTERN EDITOR operations menu:
  • Shift click [or similar] on “Src. Instr. number” OR “Dest. Instr. number” should auto position on instrument that is currently selected in Instrument list / Sample list. This will speed up entering sample number.

  • Echo generator based on edited sample in track - as in OctaMED Sound Studio:

C-5 40 [for example volume 40]

then apply echo generator and it should look like this:

C-5 40

C-5 10

C-5 30

C-5 20


You got what I mean? :)

At the end - one question:

  • Is there a shortcut I can KILL all notes after note where is my cursor till the end of the track?

All best!

Can you (or someone else) explain this in more details please? Like provide a clear specification as to what you expect? Right now, it’s inferred we know what you are talking about… Well, I don’t. Sorry. Why is there two spaces between the first note and the second? And what are the echo parameters here? 10, 30, 20 - where did those numbers come from? Some room size parameter?

Thanks.

With the echo he means that a delay is being emulated like in the old tracker days. I think the distance between the notes are not that important (they should relate, but there is an apparent offset before the echo part kicks in and then a minimum distance between the notes that echo) , yet the volume jumps to create the echo-effect are.

hmm, that echo thing doesn’t sound too hot to me… what would be the difference between that and using the delay device?

I’d like to see a dedicated thingy for this, maybe in song properties, to remove a lot more than that… with a checkbox for each… pattern data “beyond the end of the pattern”, hiding unused volume/panning/delay columns, removing unused note columns & unused effect columns… unused DPS effects… there’s probably more, but you get the idea. With a console giving feedback on what actions have been taking, how much has been saved, and of course the ability to undo it all.

(and some “destructive” things for special purposes: removing turned off tracks and converting samples to .ogg → plus a “save optimized song as” button!)

you would get a +1 from me for “turn several consecutive empty spaces into one”, because I like to have a gap between percussion samples, melody instruments, fx, vocals etc.

I was quite happy when Renoise came out and it had that native VST “Delay”. No more need to manually plot down notes and enter the volume to create an echo [like in the old days]. Since, yes, that’s what the delay are there for plus that it sounds better too. So, -1 on the echo-function.

The delay device affects the whole track, the volume figure only affects the notecolumn it is attached to.

I think the “recording ready mode” would be good too, sure it’s not something that kills me for not having it but I imagine it wouldn’t that big of a thing to implement (I wouldn’t know). Now I just have the pattern I’m recording on repeat and record the notes on the second time through, it would be nice to be able to just keep going on to the next track etc.

Yep. Here is example in image and tracker module:

http://www.djnick.rs/examples/echo-example.xrns [for quick module]

When open module, track 4 is what should happen when apply Echo effect on sample, while track 1, 2 & 3 sounds like classic echo vst [one main track volume with cloned tracks with lower volume & moved down a bit].

:]

p.s. ah now I see image is a little bit wrong, but you got idea what I mean. :)

When it comes to recording there are a couple of things I would like to see:

Start at first note.

Start after countdown.

continuously add pattern when recording.

Destructive recording.

When recording in a loop, it will erase what is previosly recorded.

This way you can record a loop untill you like the take.

And another thing that has to do with live recording.

Scroll selected content with wrap.

YES!!! Exactly what I mean but couldn’t find the right English words! :)

and what should the added patterns consist of?

Or every take will be placed to a new sample slot + creating a drum kit of it
