On the other side, it's not really offtopic, cause you use Renoise. But let me state clearly that I really appreciate your music, I listen to it and let others do so ;) > I don't think the program sounds in any particular way, and I can't > think of any "renoise tricks".

Maybe a lot of Americans use Renoise then ;) This might also be a discussion about Linux modular stuff compared to Renoise. It could be that it can be hard to let a recording/ mix made with Linux tools, sounds very smooth. In Renoise this isn't a problem at all obviously, but then the question is what you like best... I wish you many times of 'flow' Atte ;) \r _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
