Now with Rack I feel liberated from being stuck in a groove and it’s making me think differently about music creation in every way. I used renoise for a long time and did some albums with that and ardour/reaper and getting obsessed and bogged down with the mixing/mastering has driven me crazy sometimes. I’m still working on getting tracks from vcv to a) completion and b) mixed and mastered, I just lose interest when I’m not working in Rack. Just remember to use the autoseek option!Īnd yes, ardour is still active, they are working on v6. If you use stems then set the bpm and you can have some fun doing master edits in the pattern editor like a pitchdowns or cuts. Then again, I have mixed and mastered things in renoise, both as a renoise project with instruments etc and also with stems and it’s more than capable so maybe try that instead? It’s a bit weird to do it that way but in some ways not looking at the waveforms can help you focus on the sound. Personally I have moved to reaper for all that stuff, I think it is much more powerful (although if as many people wrote scripts for ardour as they do for reaper maybe it would be different) and it is certainly more stable. If you do pursue ardour be wary of calf plugins. It does work but there are certain unknown circumstances that lead to the autosave not saving and ardour crashing but it’s hard to tell which is causing what. I saw a post somewhere just the other day (that I can’t find now) about how ardour crashed unexpectedly and the auto save seemingly didn’t work. Ardour is certainly capable but, depending on how heavy you get with mixing/processing, it can just vanish and you’ve potentially lost a whole session. To be perfectly honest I would just go straight to reaper.
