Question: any reason wingui couldn't be used in a win only plugin?
Asked by olilarkin (86.31.114.x) on November 6 2014, 9:09pm
Reply on November 7 2014, 4:43pm:
    You could definitely use it for a plug-in (on OSX or win32), it's just not designed to be used with IPlug in particular, but it could definitely be done.

    I think they did, however I generally could tell when they were just being polite. They also (probably more-often) praised effort, too, I think.

    Make something that you would want to use, and that will let you to be able to very quickly do neat things (even if you don't have all of the other things that people think of as necessary). Maybe there will be more people like you.

Question: Well, that worked! :) Just one thing - I test it by creating envelope points on vol envelope (one point for each sample) and see if things null. Before getting the answer from you, I did normal equations for first 6 fades (pastebin.com/25ZGp11H) and things nulled 100%. With this: pastebin.com/nnT0u9da they don't but get very close (-50 db).

Question: What is wingui for exactly ? Does it relate to IPlug somehow ? Since it seems to provide some level of accessibility support, can I use it together with IPlug to make accessible vst plugins on Windows for visually impaired people ?

    Not really IPlug related, more for general app development.

Question: I presume you're calculating your fades using bezier. Care to share the exact variables used in LICE_Bezier_FindCardinalCtlPts()? Also, there seems there isn't the way to obtain fade curvature using GetMediaItemInfo()?

Question: Can you please advise if a new PC build mostly used for music production would greatly benefit from the new 5930 / 5820 processors with associated DD4 RAM and why that would be?

    I can't really say, I will say that my quad core i7 (something bridge?) laptop is so incredibly powerful compared to my c2q desktop. Staggeringly faster. As far as the even-newer stuff goes, I can't say much, I'm sure it's great though.

Question: Did you know Chrome on iOS just wraps the default iOS web view engine because of app store licensing restrictions which prevent Google from using their own rendering/js engine? That's gay.

Question: The recent blog post made thinking about the design of audio blocks in REAPER. Do you use continuous per channel audio blocks or an interleaved buffer model? What you favor and/or is more practical/useful. (a long post would be nice...)
Asked by gio (79.131.44.x) on October 29 2014, 8:48am
Reply on October 29 2014, 10:57pm:
    It depends, mostly we store buffers which are blocks of interleaved samples, except when going planar for plug-ins and like.

    I'm trying to not remember the things I'm playing, and just to build the recognition of notes on the page to movements of the hand. I'm more or less failing at both things.
