Hi!
I just got renoise, but i'm wondering if its a good program to start/learn with...
The only thing i made (so far) is a crappy drumsolo made with MIDI wavetable sound -.-
Are there other programs that are better to start with?
I was working with CubaseGS in the early days, but thats only just MIDI sound, so bit crappy if you ask me

Renoise in my opinion is a very nice tool to start with, and since it has vsti-support, you can go a long way with it.
Of course, as all the other progs, this one will also require some practice, but all in all it's quite simple to use.

Renoise is a good starter. I think your main problem is that you have a very small pool of useful samples or VSTis; you should try and build this up so you have more to play with, instead of just a program interface.

Every program has pros and cons, and I don't think anything is a bad starting place. Some ppl start with Renoise or some other tracker, others with Cubase, and others with FL Studio. it doesn't matter where you start, what matters is to continue and progress

I never tracked before and started to look around in renoise, but it was very hard to compose some normal music in it for me because I'm used to Reason where I started producing with... trackerprograms are really different

The point is that if you are a tracker lover Renoise is the best (IMHO). If you are a MIDI lover try others (Cubase, Reason, Fruitloop, ect). Personally I ever used trackers and so I found in Renoise the best, of course I'm tempted to turn to others, expecially for the sound quality, ect. But in your case you have to consider that if you are a novice in computer music may you have to choice Cubase or Reason, surely trackers are destinated to die.

| I just started using Buzz recently since the computer with FL on it died and I can't track down my discs. The tracker interface was (and still is) much different than what I am used to. But the plus is that it is helping me actually remember all of the note names that go in the chords, rather than relying on seeing the "keys" of a piano roll. And with a bit of practice I'm about back to the level I was with FlStudio (after only a week or so toying around with Buzz). And yes, vst support is always a plus, especially since I'm lacking in samples on this computer. |

any program is good if it works for you and the learning curve isn't huge
I used to be an oldsk00l tracker (I don't brag about this anymore, abuot 70% of my tracks from then are crap), but I moved to Reason. I had a huge learning curve (again, 90% of the stuff I wrote back learning was crap) but I finally mastered everything
