Going to bed early on the weekend is actually pretty cool, because you then get to comfortably get up early too. I just woke up and realized I now have the whole day to do stuff!

On the docket today:

- Work on my NodeJS project
- Go to my friend’s ordination
- Watch some more Farscape
- Dinner with my two friends (my wife’s making tamales!)

What are you up to today?

@hisaac

- Working out how to manipulate samples in #Renoise
- Reading
- Fitting in an episode of "Rick & Morty"
- Entertaining an old friend of ours who has invited herself over for dinner, but who has promised to provide the food that my wife will then prepare. Said guest will also provide booze. :)

@tim Ah cool! I’ve messed with Renoise a bit, and really like it. I hope to sink some real time into it at some point. Is it pretty new to you too?

@hisaac

I bought a copy some years ago when I was trying to find a DAW that was a bit "different".

Initially, I found it a bit complex and linear, so I opted for Ableton.

Now that I've abandoned both OSX and Windows in favour of Linux, I'm taking advantage of the fact that Renoise has a Linux port, and am finding new ways of doing at least *some* of the things I was able to do in Ableton.

@tim Yeah, there are definitely some similarities.

Have you ever tried Bitwig Studio? If you are still looking for something more akin to Ableton Live for Linux, I'd give Bitwig a try. bitwig.com/en/home.html

I tried Bitwig briefly, but didn't really give it a chance. Also, it's outside my budget, currently.

Maybe I'll download it again and give it a longer look / listen.

@tim I don’t have any direct experience with it, so I can’t say for sure if it’s good, but it at least *looks* interesting.
