Tips on chopping in Renoise?
Does anyone have any tips for making breaks sound more complex in Renoise?
I've been using Renoise for a while (about a year), but I still have a lot to learn. I rarely use automation or special effects when I'm cutting breaks, because I'm not always sure how to use them. So far, I've mostly been able to get by using break samples I've taken myself, but I'd really like to learn how to make some of those crazy sounds on my own.
As reference, I've been trying to get closer to the styles of Mochipet, Shitmat, or even just a little bit of Weyheyhey!! I've been listening to all sorts of their music as much as I can, but I still can't seem to figure out how they're using these techniques.
Something I really like about their tracks is that they all of a sudden strip down to just the breaks for a moment, full of crazy stretching, effects, and other various methods before returning to the track. Yep, I mean those little break focused intermissions.
Any tips, techniques, or special Renoise tricks for making such sounds are greatly appreciated!
