Looks like #renoise (still no Fediverse account, why is that?) recently jumped from 3.4x to 3.5x .
There is an elephant in the room and that's missing CLAP support.
And I fear, Renoise will seriously fall behind if they do not start supporting #CLAP plugins soon.
Yes, they added this and that (a track can have two separate signal chains now, ok - why only two then?) - which all look random to me. Don't get me wrong - these weird features are somewhat outstanding in a way that a lot of it can't be found at any other DAW or tracker. And I totally appreciate the enthusiasm they have developing and introducing it finally - I don't feel this resulting joy with other projects this intense.
However, I doubt, so much people dig so much into those features – I just want my track to be done, you know :) . So in the end it's about priorities: How many users need what the most. And I guess I am not the only one wanting CLAP. However it never occured to me that I might want splited signal chains (which I did in Buzz all the time decades ago - but there it was totally intuitive).
What do you think about that?
Yes, they fixed a ton of bugs (especially in the VST3 department which indeed didn't feel stable before - at least not under Linux). And yes, I like Renoise for being developed with love over decades and for treating #Linux as first class citizen – it's still cool and I will still use it.
But the general direction it goes with those random ideas added, instead of looking at the big picture - that somehow troubles me.
I want Renoise to stay relevant, you know?
It's not only CLAP.
On Linux they support LADSPA and DSSI plugins (and from my experience it's not really working well).
But those formats are deprecated since at least one decade in favor or LV2. Which was also somewhat dead since long before CLAP arrived for everyone. So... I am already in a rage loop ;) I should quit this post now!
