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.
I don't know why, I want to use it but I never do. 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.
