I used reason for about 9 months, tired of it. Tried ableton for about a week, was annoying to me. Then I try renoise tonight, and I'm fucking loving it right off the bat, and I usually don't take to liking programs this quick.
Anyone else use it? Just curious how popular it is around here.

I hate to use the word intuitive, but the way shit works just makes sense for the way I like to write music I guess. I always found things in reason and ableton that annoyed me.
I like to just have everything in front of me so I can draw/play it in and see where its going. I hated flipping back and forth between the edit/arrangement views of reason and ableton.
Btw, can anyone tell me how to get a 2nd vst going in renoise? having trouble figure that one out....

You should try it out if you like this type of approach. For instance, in reason, I would just draw in everything in the grids, and it pissed me off to no end to have to switch back and forth between the grids for each instrument. Now, its all compact on one screen.
Is it the ibuprofen that took my headache away? Or is it renoise?
btw heres stuff of mine in reason if your interested.

yeah, I haven't read anything from the series in years. My collection is sitting in my closet gathering dust, waiting for the day that I might begin to reread it.
Anyway, it seems like you've found your program, have fun with it!

Thanks man. Btw, what was your favorite redwall book? Mine was "redwall", it was the first one I read out of the series. I always thought Orlando was a total badass, and I always remember the snake asmodeousssss, I always thought that was the coolest villain back in the day.

They're all good so it's hard to pick, but probably The Bellmaker, Salamandastron, Pearls of Lutra, and the Long Patrol... honestly I love them all.
Orlando the Axe! he was a badass, indeed.

you'll go back to reason. renoise is fun for a short while before you get bored of having to do everything tracker style.

I tried this and it is a gay dog dick if its what I'm remembering. Modplug tracker is free and awesome + the shit + cheesy. Merely navigating the rows and columns was a bitch and half for me with renoise. Plus it costs money and has crappy piracy stuff where they bind your name to the software so if you share it, the copies have your traceable name or something.

I think its really good value for money, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye as well. You can even just use it as a sampler - the sample editor is well laid out and creating/editing/modding samples is simple.

ya for 50 euros its a ridiculously good deal. For me its much better than ableton or reason, I like renoise because it just cuts through all the bullshit. Its just straight up. No stupid shit like going from grid to grid to do shit, or using some lame ass sequencer, then needing to resequence it in the arrangement section.
Thats my take on it all anyway...... and not to mention, its also great for what exaph said.

I tried it for a bit, but gave up in the end. I'm not a big fan of trackers.

I guess im a bit out of the loop. I don't understand why its called a tracker, it essentially does exactly what an ableton or reason does, but cuts out all the unnecessary bullshit.

do your homework
i like renoise, but i still have a soft spot for reason. have a look at buzz machines, you might like that too and its free, but a bit unstable.

i remember using protracker and then digibooster like 10 years ago. rns is the same thing, only extra thing are the vst and dx plugs you can use in it, and that makes it very good.

well the stuff that i think is unnecessary bullshit are things you might not think are unnecessary bullshit. Just a matter of opinion. Not worth explaining, im not going to bother you with my peevs. Everyone's got their program that they like, as well as the instruments they like (lute), etc.
