Hey, thanks! Glad if you’re mining platinum from these I figure the more renoise knowledge we can get out there, the stronger the user base will be, and the longer the lifespan for renoise in the long run… I’m still dreaming of a day when we see renoise 4 …not holding my breath, though
These days I do compress, limit, and noise gate my vox input, and I’ve even got it sidechained to duck my renoise audio. The earlier videos kinda suffer from the lack of this processing, but more recent videos should be ok. Please have a listen/watch of my more recent ones, and do let me know if it still seems to be an issue!!
I’m also taking video requests, but no promises I’ll cover any particular topic
Effect commands are incredibly powerful. Renoise is great as a regular DAW. But I find that it really comes into its own when you use sample instruments and the effect options at your disposal. So if zensphere can help people to get comfortable with them I’m all for it.
new one! hope this is useful for you… came up with this method yesterday after scratching my brain for a bit about sidechaining. It’s a little bit of a workaround, but has a LOT of advantages over other methods of sidechaining compression in renoise, imo
You could also skip the doofer, key tracker, and trigger sample, and use pattern commands to reset the lfo in time, but I prefer to have the doofer to drop in wherever
I like Lil Kevo’s tutorial that deals with how to setup hydras in templates to modulate “anything”.
I think this technique coupled with the automatron and automasher tools is great
Hope this is helpful. I’ve adopted quite a bit of kevo’s workflow recently.
I agree that zensphere would make a thorough video on the subject and would be psyched to see it
I prefer to keep my modulation in the instrument fx section if it’s a one shot, or in the track if it’s tied to an instrument. I can see where this might be time efficient, but most of my automation isn’t linear
It is, we should have a Mutant Breaks special edition where participants record a 1-2 hours song creation video, I’m sure most of us will learn about new tools, cool techniques and tips to speed up workflow.
Hey! Great tutorials - both well produced but also loads n loads of great skills/techniques in each vid.
I just downloaded your song template - would love to see a video on how this is set up/what each section is designed to do. E.g., there is a section for ducked pads, but it’s a little unclear (to me, at least at first glance) how you’re achieving this. Also, just from a mixing/organization standpoint this is very well laid out, and it’d be nice to see you run through your thinking behind each section.
hey, thank you! Glad if you’re getting some utility out of them
I think the template you’re referencing is one that I don’t use anymore. I’m always refining/updating my templates. Here’s what I’m working with currently, drawing some inspiration from @TNT’s template with rear bus, new york compression, mid/side processing, and a couple of reverb sends. Although mine is more complex in terms of channel processing. Here it is if you’d like to take a look and/or use it: zen template 1.23.xrns (103.6 KB)
These days I use a doofer for sidechain ducking/compression on individual tracks instead of ducking busses as I did previously. If you have any questions about what’s going on in this template, feel free to ask
