Question: "Bigwig Studio" A Daw which does better than reaper. Do you agree? why reaper doesn't have enough feature when compared to some top professional daw?
Asked by Ravi (123.201.63.x) on December 1 2014, 9:14pm
Reply on December 1 2014, 10:13pm:
    Define "does better"? I think in a great number of ways (but clearly not every way imaginable) REAPER is the best daw in the universe.

    Haven't really looked at it, it's not really my thing. Things like that always put us in a tough place, because there are often good ideas, but you don't want to always go effectively crushing people who develop things for your platform (like Apple and MS do, and so on)...

Question: Is it true that MIDI_GetNote() and other functions return false if the event is hidden by filter? This does seem to be the case but it's not documented so it would be nice to know if we can rely on this behavior.

Question: Re: msysgit. What you said is true. But I'm talking about something else. Try: mkdir love; touch love/forever; rm -dfr love -- doesn't work for me :( your results different?
Asked by gio (79.130.183.x) on November 24 2014, 11:26pm
Reply on November 24 2014, 11:44pm:
    Try leaving out the -d -- -d means that rm tries to remove the directory without removing the files first (and the docs say requires super-user privs), which is likely not supported on msysgit.

Question: Re: msysgit. Are there occasions where you come across --rm: cannot unlink 'blah': Not owner-- or it's just me using an ancient msysgit version? :(

Reply on November 24 2014, 10:27pm:
    Hmm, that might be where another process has the file opened and locked (windows prevents deletion of files in those instances, whereas on linux the file is only deleted once the last process closes the file).
