perfect. i'm working on an deep fried idm crazy frog remix that will be perfect for this

tbf everything except in a room felt underwhelming? compared to how he usually treats arrangements.

redux doesn't have a sample selector - a single redux instance is basically a single instrument in renoise terms. if i want one track to be something like drums with a bunch of S commands and another to be some melodic sample playing several notes, i'd have to use two different tracks with two different redux instances. at this point i'd rather just use renoise lol

thanks! redux is nice but i'm not onboard with how it's forced to use phrases instead of patterns which i'm used to in renoise. the workflow you've described is basically what i've had in mind and most likely what i'll try and do first. i have a launchpad x arriving soon to trigger clips with, will report back. alternatively, i think i need to explore dj mode on my sp404 and also see if a hardware only solution is viable for this since i'd like to avoid relying on ableton tbh very nice! i like the methodical approach.

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused/potentially lost as to how one can perform live pre-recorded music in a meaningful way and probably am just looking for daw/gear suggestions to do that. In my current process writing stuff for my second release, i basically make shitty tracks i don't like in ableton - it forces me into a very personally formulaic way, using the same tricks and writing music that basically comes out more or less the same every time. afterwards, i put those tracks and their stems into renoise and make stuff i actually like there - the fact that i can't say waveforms and force myself to use step automation makes the structure and sound more abstract to my ears, which i like. the problem is that i'm not sure how to perform these live. putting stems of renoise projects back into ableton to perform/jam over them live feels almost incest-y at this stage, but doable. i own an sp404mk2 which could potentially work as a hardware box playing renoise stems over which i can jam on a bass guitar or run doodly synthy sounds from ableton or something, but maybe someone worked out a different workflow using renoise itself or stems running on hardware? how do you play pre-recorded tracks but also altering them live basically? thx

thanks! yeah i found that the saturator, the vinyl and cassette sims as well as the pitch shifter in the djfx looper are super nice to generate more interesting samples from otherwise mediocre material; i guess i'm somewhat happy to keep it just for that, i was just worried that i may not be using it to its full potential lol i currently have it set up to receive mono input from my 2nd headphone out of the audio interface for quick sampling and then back in on playback, maybe some more workflow optimization is in order

can anyone suggest any creative uses for the sp404 mk2? i got it and doesn't feel like i'm jelling with the workflow very well - the sequencer is too archaic (after using digitakt) and i find it difficult to use besides as a resampling fx box, which feels like a waste considering how much it costs

is it me or does this photo look like he's using the gigachad face filter. or has richard been doing jawline exercises

same 21 quid for vinyl is ridiculous

god damn this is a serious bonerkiller. i'm currently selling my digitakt to buy the tracker because digitakt is an over hyped one-shot sequencer. thanks for killing my plans lol hope whatever polyend are about to release will interest me more

i've finally come around to finishing some tracks: https://sourcerecision.bandcamp.com/album/looking-at-steel questing to figure out how to make folk jungle or something pwyw/free, i'd prefer free direct download link here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/849jtieyllt9f7e/source recision - looking at steel.zip?dl=0 1309862602_sourcerecision-lookingatsteel.zip

watched Pleasantville last week. Highly recommended - what seems to be a surface-level feelgood flick at first, it develops into a super rich film with great symbolism

Of course, that's what I secretly hope for as well lol. However, screen space is really expensive real-estate on a screen like that, which I reckon was one of the reasons they've decided to go with some of the limitations. Imagine introducing more than 1 note per column to the way it is right now - it can only show 4 tracks with all columns or 8 tracks with a single column; adding any more will make the screen look like complete jibberish I reckon. Great point, I knew namedropping Raczynski on their webpage was a bit suspect

I was a super hyped for Polyend Tracker right until the Loopop video. No polyphony on tracks, samples in mono only, only 1 note column per track, only 2fx columns per track, 90sec sample limit, single stereo out channel, granular synth limited to single grain and probably more limitations that I'm not aware of. For me personally, at €500 it seems a bit irrational to choose it over Renoise which cost me under €70 and can run on a shit laptop. And since it doesn't open xrni files (but reads .mod files, that's cool!), there's not much point having both around. The only real advantage it has over renoise on a laptop is probably being performance friendly. However, in that case I start thinking of hooking up something like an apc40 to renoise and going crazy with mapping out macros and phrases etc etc etc. Provided that the premise of "everyone has a laptop" is accepted, renoise + apc40 still comes out cheaper and offers much more customization and flexibility. That being said, I understand that it's the limitations of hardware that often force you to become creative, I don't feel like this piece falls into the category of that type of hardware. Overall, it really does look well-engineered for the price they're offering it for but I'm not 100% sure on what niche it's supposed to fill.

too obvious with the minipops 67 rhythm/groove; no depth to the mix too
