![]() This is a minor thing but it adds to me wishing that note columns had nothing to do with effects/the mixer This also means that changing instruments is a two step process as you need to navigate to the proper column and actually change the selected instrument also. I mentioned that Renoise encourages you to use different note tracks for different instruments*. Audio handling in general can be weird because you're triggering note data and not using the waveform directly on a timeline, it's another thing where it's a bit abstract and this can be a good thing or a bad thing. This is where I feel the most disadvantaged with Renoise is where I wish it were more like other trackers in some ways, it doesn't fully leverage it's potential advantages over mainstream DAWs.Īudio recording isn't it's forte, for electronic this isn't that much of a shortcoming. Normally trackers may actually be more clear in rhythmic interplay because of having all the note data in front of you at once, but I think Renoise loses some of this because it encourages you to not reuse the same tracks for different instruments leading to more off screen or far away stuff than traditional trackers and because it doesn't indicate measures at all making it harder for your brain to sort out patterns. ![]() In a piano roll DAW you can easily make out the path of a melody or the shape of a chord, trackers give you less overview of pitch. This can be a weakness OR a strength, some would say it is a good thing. Not that Renoise has bad effects-there's a few that I really miss in other DAWs even-but it's another thing where I feel the need to use VSTs potentially negates some of Renoise's advantages, the bottom effects lane and not having windows everywhere is so neat and tidy, direct, and it's easier to automate but you lose a bit of it the more VSTs you use. The DSP lineup could also use some higher quality things. Renoise is like FL or Bitwig in that it's instruments go beyond what VSTs do and offers more integration with everything else in the program, so ideally you want to be using Renoise instruments as much as possible. Stock effects and instruments are weaker than some DAWs in some areas.
