Freeze track would be nice. It temporarily renders a separate track with all effects on it, making it unedittable, but reduces cpu usage.
Unfreezing the track would then undo the freeze, returning it to normal state, for additional editting.
Just like rendering selection to sample, but then for the track in the whole song, replacing the common structure with one sample and an unfreeze function.
I have this really cool song finiished with a lot of vst effects. If I want to create a good mixdown, I need to load more vst’s, but this is not possible, because my cpu already hits 65%.
The only thing I can do now is render all the tracks seperately and move to Ableton and load the wavefiles, and complete my mix in Ableton.
If I could freeze my tracks to save cpu usage in Renoise, I could group the frozen tracks and put bus compressors etc on theae group channels, then I wouldn’t have to switch to Ableton and mix the track down in Renoise, that would complete my life
You will find out after installing it probably won’t work straight away(?), visit the messageboard thread on it to read instructions on how to change the manifest nr in the tools code.
Have you tried installing, it’s been a while since I last checked, perhaps it just works with 3.2?
Either way, it is a hassle to have to manually change a nr in the tools code, but inevitable since the tools creator is missing in action and no one else want to pick this up.
I’ve tried FreezeTrack1.4, it does install (the older one doesn’t). But when I try to freeze a track, it yells at me that I can’t freeze more then 120 patterns, I only have 55 patterns of 128 lines.
Maybe samrender is usefull, but it’s not like freezing a track.
Just logging in for the first time in years to say multitrack recording would be a big enough feature for me I’d pay for the update. More than 50% of each track I write in renoise is basically a huge chunk of audio sampled from hardware that was sequenced with renoise. Sampling those chunks separately, cutting them up and then layering them down again feels rather tedious.
Also, and I will probably be shot for this, but it’d be kind of handy to see a waveform for long samples streaming down the column… I know some people will probably think I’m just asking for reaper but vertical (and in a way I am), but although I’ve had fun watching pages of scrolling hex numbers for almost 30 years, it would be nice if Renoise could offer a different way to visualise tracks for people like me (and I know I’m not the only one that uses it like this). Imagine if along with the option to toggle the delay and panning columns you could also enable a waveform column, which would visually show the waveform that will be played during that beat of the track.
It would just be useful to visualise where things are happening, as when playing back these sections there aren’t any corresponding note patterns to judge it by. I do use autoseek, but it would still be easier to see it.
Would be nice if Autoseek was on by default and I’d like the waveform in the back too, but honestly my biggest wish is for buttery smooth scrolling of the pattern instead of jumping a whole line at the time, and we probably need VST3 compatibility too at some point.
3.3 needs a timeframe of when it’s going to arrive, because I’m so damn excited for the updates (whatever they may be). I LOVE Renoise. I am so happy sequencing with it and it’s only getting better and better. @taktik Hey man! Hurry up and gimme gimme gimme! 15 seconds of how I actually feel about this -
