Render & Resample Parts of the Song

Quickly Rendering Parts of the Song

By using the Render Dialog in Renoise, you can already quickly and comfortably render the whole song as an audio file, or render only small parts of it in order to reuse parts of the song in the same song again.

This technique is called resampling or freezing, and can either be used to generate new samples and instruments, but also to render down parts of the songs which need a lot of CPU processing power.

To avoid opening up the render dialog, then rendering and reloading the wav file again and again, Renoise also offer an action which automates all this for you, and lets you render a selected part in the Pattern Editor with a single shortcut.

To do so, select one or more lines in the pattern editor, then right click somewhere in the pattern and select "Render Selection To Sample..." in the context menu. Alternatively you can also use the shortcut "CONTROL/COMMAND + ALT + SHIFT + R". This will basically do what the Render Dialog will do when selecting "Selection in Pattern" at the current sample rate, in real-time mode and will load the sample into the next free instrument slot.

Here is a small video which demonstrates this:

If you want to create sample based instruments out of plugin instruments, you can also use a dedicated function in Renoise to do this. Please see Render or Freeze Plugin Instruments to Samples for more information.
