As soon as I heard "Welcome. Welcome to-" I was hoping it would be a HL2 Breencast reference - massive respect for that alone never mind the good tutorial

[@neonvoid]

Definitely the best tracker ever made in history. I actually started with trackers and this arrangement always made much more sense for me than modern daws.

[@satin360]

[@digitalspecter]

Mute groups are usually used for percussion.. For example, you assign closed and open hihat to the same mute group so only one sample in the group can play simultaneously.

[@LucIndustries]

Makes sense that a renoise user went 8 years without using them doesn't it? 😂

[@Apticx]

@@LucIndustries considering how renoise handles choking i can see how one would never use it

[@LucIndustries]

@@Apticx please enlighten me. Ive spent like 2 hours in renoise so far

[@JacobPadlock]

@@LucIndustries Basically if you program your open & closed hats on the same column in a single track they already choke each other naturally because that's how trackers work. They immediately cut the previous note once a new one is played within the same column. So mute groups are redundant if you're already programming your hats on the same track. Though if you put them on separate tracks for mixing purposes, then the mute groups would be useful.

[@swarm69]

@@LucIndustries i have never used them in over 15 years of renoise use... considering if you run both samples in the same channle it will have the same effect. with samples cutting eachother out...

[@sonfx]

Got Renoise maybe eight years ago and only ever finished two or three tracks in it, with so much time between I forgot how to operate it! With your videos I'm back at it and more motivated than ever. Thanks a bunch for this buddy!

[@eomenia]

Thank you so much! I bought Renoise 2-3 years ago. Ever since, it's just been sitting unused on my computer. I was happy to find this up-to-date tutorial when motivation struck!

[@christopherdasconio8022]

Aye bro your other video saved me a TON of time on install of CDP... these are super helpful. There are a ton of videos out there but they don't tell a N00b what to do. Im surprised you don't have more followers!!!

HALF LIFE 2 REFERENCE IN THE BEGINNING :3333

[@lauriran]

I was looking for this comment

[@anothervegan427]

Thank you for this. I'll download the demo and give it a try. Watching your video, I can make sense of Renoise more than I can traditional DAWs. The way things are structured just clicks with me. I used Octamed back in the day, and this reminds me a lot of those old trackers. And the City 17 intro was a bonus.

[@idooard420]

Great tutorial, also appreciated the quote during the intro

[@mynarco_yoyo]

dude, please release greenjacket, its one of my fav songs, even though its unfinished. the usage of the sample is sooo well done

[@mynarco_yoyo]

@@kalibration wow i didnt even see it, thank you!! and i aspire to produce music as good as you in renoise

[@croay]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial and the breaks (I'm already using them btw). It's been a long time since I had that much fun with a DAW.

[@aleksandartyankov5321]

The block loop button is pretty simple, really - it loops a quarter (in this case) of your pattern. It loops the segment of the pattern where your cursor currently is - if you go to the 16th line, it will loop the segment to the 32nd line. Hope this makes sense. It's great to use when you wanna focus on a certain aspect of your pattern and really wanna fine tune it. You probably turn it on by accident using the Num pad Enter, which is the hotkey.

[@markonmac]

Very cool video. I learned a lot. Thanks for taking the time.

[@axyom9763]

Really straightforward tutorial to Renoise, good job !

[@J-Hz]

Great overview. Been playing around with jungle breaks with the demo and it's so much fun. Just need to get use to hexadecimals and using effects commands

[@xXLeandro12]

Renoise seems amazing man, I used music trackers past years like OpenMPT, MilkyTracker and FamiTracker, if having the VST support like ModPlug and MadTracker it's a excellent feature for a tracker, imagine it in a tracker-styled DAW... and that beautiful interface... simply trapped me.

[@rorz999]

One of my favourite features in Renoise is loading up a VST synth, finding a preset I like and then rendering several octaves of the synth to a multisampled instrument. You can then use all the usual FX commands for samples

[@joman66]

Bruh did you just start with video with a Half-Life 2 reference? Lol! This was a great watch. I use Reaper for music creation mainly but you can do some cool stuff with Renoise not so easily, or not possibly done in Reaper.

[@rigbyb]

Great video, helped a lot! Thanks

[@sylonen]

Thanks for your videos man. Subscribed!

[@hylea96]

That Half-Life 2 reference though hahahaha. Cool video dude :)

[@intheblink]

I downloaded the demo today after lusting after a Polyend Tracker thinking I could dive right in, but it’s a bit of a learning curve. Not sure I’ve got it in me…

[@emi_fisher]

thank you so much for this

[@ohmygawdkite]

Bro can you show me how to nudge note off of the grid

[@guynamederik]

I'm coming from FL studio... This is so confusing at present. But I feel like fl studio even though I love it.... It's killing my creativity. Especially making jungle. It a pain in the ass. It's easier in Renoise (for those who know how to use it). I'm just barely dipping my toes in the water as it were. I await many headaches 😂

[@moonswing27]

Great video! Question: your amen break is a renoise instrument file... did you take the sample wav and create the xrni file with it? I like that you have it set to just start entering pitches, but I always have to reload the original sample and resplice and often hard to replicate. Appreciate your help and thanks for this again!

[@kalibration]

For this video I'm just using the amen brother .xrni from the pre-sliced breaks pack linked in the video description. But yes, if you load in a .wav, slice it up, then save the instrument as a .xrni, it will remain sliced so you can just load it up and start playing without having to slice it again

[@moonswing27]

@@kalibration Excellent. Thank you so much!

[@Phoenix2772]

How do you get the UI to look like that? Because my file and sample locator is at the top opposed to be to the right like you have it?

[@vxe1392]

hey man awesome video, I don't have renoise yet and was wondering if you have tried throwing a vocal in and chopping it like u did with the drums? is it good for that or not really? thanks

[@kalibration]

I'd say it's pretty good for that yeah, I like to chop just about anything in renoise

[@nyctus2024]

how do uadd a off-note, mine doesnt work. i pressed caps lock nothing happens

half life 2 intro

[@cows3043]

Why are trackers considered better than daws? I mean as far as i am seeing daws have lot more control over effects and stuff

[@kalibration]

theyre really not, certain techniques can be easier/more efficient depending on whether you're using a daw or tracker, but you can use anything you want to make whatever you like. it's just a matter of which parts take more or less work. i would say that automating effects is more work in a tracker than a DAW but actually writing in music is easier. your mileage may vary

[@cows3043]

@@kalibration understandable. From what i have seen so far i am guessing tracker would be ideal for writing down drum tracks isn't it? I tried using one, but didn't work for me however the fact that vordhobsn by aphex twin is made on playerpro makes me wonder if they are better for writing down drum tracks.

[@immychuah7011]

how do you upload those samples into your renoise library??

[@kalibration]

You can either use the sample browser to navigate to the folder where you keep your samples or you can put them in the Samples folder inside of the folder where Renoise is installed (Program Files/Renoise on windows)

[@nomad1517]

I feel like I'm about to enter the dark web with this guy, lol. I feel like a hacker using this program...................................................................................................................fucking sic. For the price though, its amazing. Hard to belive. I wonder where the company is based out of? It seems like its from poland or sweden or something. I know polyend is from poland, so maybe they might be big in those regions.

[@kalibration]

based in germany actually!

[@InternalMind]

It's almost impossible to know the basic stuff you need, like tune a breakbeat pitch up or down semitones or fine tune, there's nothing on that on youtube it's frustrating af

[@JacobPadlock]

Double click your instrument in the top right corner. Screen will switch to the sample editor. Bottom left area is all your finetune/transpose/other stuff.
