I have always used renoise for the music, for me it's very creative and I like the amount of modulation that's possible, control of details that you can have, the native fx, and the stability. I had never even heard of trackers before I used it but I quickly fell in love with it when went through all the linux offerings (there always seemed to be something major about the workflow that I didn't like) and when I saw how powerful it was I didn't look back.

That said I've done a few tracks exclusively in reaper lately and found it very different but enjoyable. I've also started experimenting in puredata with automatonism, it's great fun and so much quicker to get going with than regular puredata.

For the vocals I used to use ardour (because it's a nightmare to try to mix and edit 20-30 vocal takes in renosie). For the most part it was fine but there some stability issues when projects got complex so I decided to try reaper. Once I started to use that I didn't go back to ardour, the actions in it are incredible and you can customise every aspect of it to how you like to work. It was also very stable.

That's a shame about VCV Rack, do you need a newer graphics driver or is it just not compatible with your hardware? Have a look at some of Omri Cohen's playlists on youtube, he has some beginner tutorials and all his videos are well done and easy to understand when you know some fundamentals.

But yeah, it will be interesting to see what comes in the new renoise, I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking but it would be great if the UI had proper scaling.
