ReNoise 3.0 vs Seq24

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.

Seq24 can be used and edited by anyone for free.
