ReNoise 3.0 vs Harrison Consoles Mixbus

Shortcuts and other methods are used in order to minimize the amount of work that users must do with a mouse. This can greatly increase the efficiency of a workflow.

DAWs are notorious for crashing, especially at the peak of a workflow. ReNoise 3 is known for its outstanding stability.

Users who have more than one monitor can view the sampler, plugins, and MIDI controls in the instrument editor, which can be moved to a second monitor.

Module trackers are preferred by some users because they help increase productivity.

ReNoise 3 offers a ridiculous amount of flexibility when it comes to automation. Instead automating by sliding points around, users can choose from an array of preloaded automation patterns in order to produce more interesting sounding patterns.

Effects can be applied to samples in Instrument Editor in addition to being sent through track input. This is highly useful when dealing with multi-sample instruments, as each sample can have one or more effect chains.

The sampler is deeply embedded in the way the whole DAW works, and it allows the user to build complex synth sounds with ease.

ReNoise 3 replaces the typical piano roll with a tracker, which is claimed to be "the most powerful tracker in existence". The difference between piano roll and tracker is that piano roll moves horizontally, while trackers move vertically. Users may find this confusing at first, but trackers make it simple to customize every individual note.

Building basic patterns (e.g. drums) from scratch is extremely fast and easy, and built-in effects commands allow for fine grain control that is difficult, time consuming or outright impossible in conventional DAWs.

Users can make their own instruments and effects using Lua .

The Pattern Command called "MaYbe" guesses which note will be next in a progression based on the user's habits.

This DAW has an intuitive layout that is quite easy to grasp and learn.

works great as a mixer for stems exported from another DAW; this is arguably one of it's best uses. Otherwise, the general UI is a vast improvement over vanilla Ardour.

All of the best parts of Ardour, with the great included plugins, plus improved UI for track routing and EQ, along with built in analog summing. This does add some proprietary code to the otherwise open-source foundation, though.

Their customers support is fast and personal, absolutely unmatched in the industry. They also listne to their customers, take feature suggestions which really make it into one of the next versions (if feasible).

Great built in summing on mixbusses and final output bus. Use with an actual console for the double whammy, if you can afford it.
