![]() We are seeing new-generation DAWs working on Linux (Renoise, Bitwig Studio, Tracktion WaveForm etc.). latest windows versions are damn stable too (not mentioning osx at all here, as apple machines are pricey so they cant really compete here i guess). VST is now available on Linux too (I mean, the original library from Steinberg). I just don’t get it - whats the point? that the platform itself is free? current windows prices arefairly decent, it’s just a matter of going on a party or two or saving that money. If we get the other little fancy bits like adjustable loop points/granular and FM then Reaper may end up taking a backseat and become useful only for mastering audio.Linux has a big fat NO from my side - there’s just not a single benefit from choosing linux over let’s say win 7 with asio - troublesome installation (at times), even more troublesome configuration (lots of examples on these forums), such a poor support from 99% of soft/hardware manufacturers/developers etc Until then, Renoise will remain the king of sequencing for me. Also, if we get loop-point manipulation, so one could start the audio loop at any point, and have randomized adjustable lengths of loops, heck, we're in granular territory there IF it gets implemented. Once you can sequence time-stretching bits, holy cow. It now has time-stretching, but you can't sequence it in the pattern area, so it's still in the primary stage. It's still missing a few little things like FM/granular/randomized loop point manipulation. Renoise can make all of it's own sounds and synthesize most common waveforms. I don't have to fool around with Max/MSP or Pure Data, even though I can if I want to. When I want to get rhythmic AND have generative and abstract buzzes and glitches and it's all native to the environment, Renoise is killer. Reaper is fantastic for audio collage work. It's an audio environment and superior for non-rhythmic audio manipulation, even though you can sequence in it and all that jazz. For example, Renoise is capable of making ambient music for me, it's really not the way I want to work with the ambient music I intend to make. What do you think, does this happen to you too or is it different?īecause they're so different, I used Renoise and Reaper as two different environments. The thing is that when using Reaper I need to push myself until I have a finished song, but Renoise pulls me and the ideas just automatically flow out of my fingers. I may "wake up" 6 hours later with an almost finished track which may sound super crazy and great. Probably I just want to test this new sample pack I just downloaded, but without realizing I'm already sucked into that black hole of productivity. Well then, if I open Renoise it's a whole different thing. ![]() Its a complete, expandable Digital Audio. It's still missing a few little things like FM/granular/randomized loop point manipulation. With Renoise you create loops, beats and melodies efficiently step-by-step. I don't know why, I want to use it but I never do. Renoise can make all of it's own sounds and synthesize most common waveforms. But I really need to push myself to make it happen. Then I record, later I mix and maybe master a bit. ![]() When I open Reaper I first make a plan, what do I want to record, which kind of music will it be? I may already lay out the parts and instruments in my head. I did quite a lot of tutorials on Reaper, so I definitely know my way around it now.Īfter a couple of months I have a few observations, which has to do with creativity and inspiration. ![]() Editing drum sequences on Redux and recording on Reaper. So, I bought Redux because my plan was to combine the best of both worlds. I'm on Renoise for many years now, but as Reaper came out for Linux I was super exited, finally a DAW with superb recording possibilities.
