Is Renoise faster (to program) than a traditional DAW?

What are the benefits of this over a typical DAW?

Thanks a lot,

- Paul

Paul, Renoise has a 'tracker interface.' There is some talk about adding a piano roll in the future, but for the time being, it's a tracker.

Overall, I find it easier to work with than a piano roll; but, i'm more or less a beginner.

There's a whole lot which can be done through the tracker interface. The main thing for me is being able to kind of 'see the song in my head' while working in the tracker. The pattern matrix certainly helps in this regard though.

Maybe it could be said that trackers are for people who don't mind taking their musical ideas, and 'translating them into numbers in columns on the screen.'

Upon my first opening Renoise, it was instantly reminiscent of computer applications, circa 1990. There's much more to it than that; but such was my initial impression; and it was good!

Anyway, yada yada... I find that Renoise definitely allows for 'quick, easy prototyping of pieces.' As with all of these 'host apps' (whether piano roll or tracker in the sequencing interface), the devil is in the details. I've barely scratched the surface, but have seen and heard some producers/artists who do amazing things with Renoise.

Maybe you can download the demo, and see if it 'clicks' for you; and give it at least 3 or 4 hours before you've decided one way or another. There are some tutorials to get you started; both on the Renoise website, and on Youtube.
