I mean, from my Flintstone point of view, I sync Renoise and Ardour using jack, then I record tracks in Ardour (various instruments, could be accoustic guitar, bass, hardware synths, etc...), and I do stuff in Renoise. When done (if ever!) I record the Renoise output in Ardour. And variations thereof. I'm all for discovering new, possibly creative, workflows, hence my question. If you do not mind. Cheers.

Some people it more convenient to have instruments as plugins inside a DAW rather than external applications. That's all that is being discussed. On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 12:52 PM, Atte <atte(a)youmail.dk> wrote:

I hit the 'big switch' and stuff sequentially powers up. Once the desktop is there (qjackctl set and running) I click on an icon to pull up Yoshimi, which auto-connects main L&R audio mains. I click on another icon for Rosegarden, which is configured to find Yoshimi and the hardware synths. It will also find Hydrogen and Qsynth if they are running, but I don't use those very often. This could be further automated of course, but I like it that way. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

For instance, after some hours working on something I stumble on a riff. Then quickly I brew up some tracks, beats, melody. Recorded in Ardour and then put aside. 2 months later when I 'discover' the tracks and find that there's something good there, well, the chords, melodies and all are forgotten. I can bring them back, but it's extra work. Now I make it a point to write down all notes, at least. I pop up emacs and write tunings, notes (musical and info), tablatures. If I've quickly sampled a percussion and played it in a strange note I explain why. Etc. And then put it away. In Ardour I might have an empty Renoise track to make me think that hey, there's some Renoise stuff that goes along with this. So from this point of view, I wouldn't mind bringing up the Ardour tracks and everything else would also start configured - much like the Calf, or any other, plugins, for instance. It would be 'perhaps' nice if Ardour would have space to write text session notes. It's fine with emacs, though. My two cents. Cheers.

Actually, I will try the airwave interface with Angelina vst synth and this will be a first. Is it like using zynsubaddfx ? A MIDI keyboard plays zyn, then zyn's output is recorded as an Ardour track. Same with a vst synth (I know redux is more, but for the sake of establishing a base comparison) ? I know, if I'm not mistaken, that vst plugins in Renoise (I don\t use any) enables Renoise to add its effects to it. Whereas it is not possible, obviously, with a hardware synth sequenced in Renoise. So that's basically it: I read the blurb but I'm not getting it in a practical day-to-day way. What would you do with Redux, in which way would you creatively use it, incorporate it in your workflows ? Cheers.
