Question: Ever considered further plugin development? I mean, surely there are some leading plugins that you must look at and think "I can do that better. Asked by Mick (27.127.192.x) on October 9 2014, 10:27pm Reply on October 10 2014, 12:22pm: I imagine that we'll add more plug-ins to REAPER eventually, but meh. Comment... Question: Do you spotify? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on October 8 2014, 9:57pm Reply on October 10 2014, 12:22pm: No, and I also avoid using words such as "spotify" and "party" as verbs. Comment... Question: Have you seen a nightmare lately? tinyurl.com/o2omuw4 --- I mean... how shitty specifications like CSS become the de facto standard? Asked by gio (94.66.87.x) on October 8 2014, 6:37am Reply on October 10 2014, 12:21pm: Hah. I phear CSS Comment... Question: Did you try bribing Christophe to stay? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on October 7 2014, 9:31pm Reply on October 10 2014, 12:21pm: It wouldn't really be bribing, I don't think. Comment... Question: Are you as committed to efficient coding as when you started REAPER or does laziness creep in? Do you perceive laziness in other apps/OS? Asked by Colin (150.101.85.x) on October 7 2014, 2:32am Reply on October 7 2014, 6:59pm: I'm definitely as committed to making things as small and simple as possible, but am also a bit less dedicated to some of the more platform-specific size optimizations (i.e. using msvcrt.dll on win32), as they are somewhat hacks. I think generally I'd aim for quality as the top priority, then speed and size, with tradeoffs between them generally going towards speed (for commonly used functions anyway). Comment... Question: Re: Feynman, does it all make sense to you? I tried in the past but the math flies over my head and i end up feeling defeated and stupid. :) Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on October 6 2014, 6:43pm Reply on October 7 2014, 7:00pm: I haven't read it all (or anywhere close to all) but what I have read made sense, though I haven't gone and applied it. Having said that, most of what I read I think I already had learned elsewhere... but having a good aggregation of it all is awesome. Comment... Question: When reaper first came out, it had a song include which I liked but have since lost it. You recall the name of the song? Asked by Erik (67.172.70.x) on October 5 2014, 7:39pm Reply on October 6 2014, 12:32pm: Brad Sucks - Making Me Nervous Comment... Question: have you ever played around with any linux distros and do you think it will ever catch up to windows as far as music production goes Asked by stumpy1 (208.79.246.x) on October 5 2014, 8:32am Reply on October 6 2014, 12:33pm: Meh never found something that was good for my day to day use, but maybe someday Comment... Question: Have you ever taken any open courses online? Asked by John (24.234.85.x) on October 3 2014, 8:54pm Reply on October 4 2014, 8:32pm: Nope, I started reading Feynman's lectures though, good stuff! Comment... Question: How about 'fdc predicting the future on this one! www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/finger.pl?id=315&time=20020530224924... Asked by Will (68.104.121.x) on October 3 2014, 5:17am Reply on October 4 2014, 8:31pm (edited at October 4 2014, 8:32pm): Haha, yeah. What you win, though, is to be seen... Personally I'm still listening to mp3 albums and/or vinyl. Listening to songs, meh, haven't really done that since the 90s. Comment... Question: Re: Firewire, haha. Have you tried to leave a firewire cable connected to a port without a device at the other end (bare) and then hibernate the OS? I haven't try it lately but it was FUN... What wrong with firewire in your case? :) Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 10:15pm Reply on October 4 2014, 8:31pm: I haven't had that issue, I meant more the fact that Windows XP SP2 and later (including Win7) can't deal with more than about 100mbps of firewire bandwidth, with various firewire audio devices... Comment... Question: Would you like to see any major changes in Windows 10? Asked by travis (70.178.149.x) on October 2 2014, 7:41pm Reply on October 2 2014, 8:53pm: I'd like to see them fix Firewire once and for all just in time for it to be obsolete? Comment... Question: What was your time in France? Did the climate difference affect your time? I visited that beautiful place a few years ago, such an amazing city... Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 4:09pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:13pm: It was great, I enjoyed it. I miss summer now. Climate isn't that different from NY though, but it is October. Comment... Question: Do you overload new/delete/new[]/delete[] in some clever way for the abomination (OSX) so you don't have to link to the STL crap? something like this pastebin.com/HNn008dN but way better... Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 3:52am Reply on October 2 2014, 5:12pm: Not aware of a need for this. Comment... Question: In retrospect, do you think pushing all of this .net shit down user's throats in terms of security updates & mscorw.exe CPU usage to compile assemblies in the background, etc., is pretty lame given how few killer .net apps are out there? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on October 1 2014, 9:12pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:12pm: Definitely lame. I can't really point to much positive having resulted from it, but then again I haven't been looking. Comment... Question: on irc.prison.net asks: !askjf Do you like to gamble? Asked by ChromE (50.82.225.x) on September 30 2014, 2:20pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:11pm: Sometimes. Comment... Question: when exactly is the @init section in a jesusonic plugin/script called? see: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=146889 Asked by tor.helge.skei (84.202.175.x) on September 30 2014, 1:53pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:11pm: About right, yeah. REAPER will usually call MainsChanged on playback start, too, so no real need to use audioMasterGetTime() in that case. Original link: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=146889 Comment... Question: Here's the link to my post in the WDL forum: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1411651#post1411651... Asked by MezmerizeR (87.162.111.x) on September 30 2014, 11:41am Reply on October 2 2014, 5:10pm: I don't want to do it for you, but here's my advice: processSamples should just copy the samples into some sort of queue, which should always contain the most recent X samples (where X is the FFT size or some multiple of that). Then, when ::Draw() wishes to draw, it should take the most recent FFT-size samples, copy them, window them, FFT them, then draw. If the input samples haven't changed since the previous draw, it could reuse the previous results. This method would have the added advantage of reducing the audio thread CPU use (and putting it in the UI thread).

It is my favorite kind of software to use, but I look at the job pages for NI, Ableton etc and it seems like maybe there aren't many jobs. Asked by William R. (50.151.81.x) on September 27 2014, 5:28pm Reply on September 29 2014, 9:39pm: I probably live in a bubble so I'm not the person to best give career advice, but I can say it is quite enjoyable to work on if you are in to making music yourself. Comment... Question: Ever been to Alaska? If not, check it out! Oh and happy bug is still an awesome little gem! Asked by Justin T not to (65.74.2.x) on September 27 2014, 12:15pm Reply on September 29 2014, 9:39pm: I haven't, but I should! Comment...
