Question: In terms of bike-friendliness, how does NYC compare to San Fransisco?

I think SF would win by a decent margin (especially with the NYPD harassing cyclists), even though SF is so much more car-centric (not to mention hilly) than NYC. NYC is without a doubt more pedestrian-friendly, though. Comment...

It is growing, and the growth rate is also growing as far as I can tell. Comment...

Question: Why does Reasamplomatic not get the last little push to make it perfect for drums in Reaper (better RR handling / mute groups / option to not save content with Project) ? A couple of Reaperites (myself, Tod and SMM) are working on the next round of our super drums for Reaper users and some of these shortcomings make it pretty hard...

Question: Are you aware of the workflows mixers engage in on Harrison consoles and Icon/ProtoolsHD systems ? And if not, have you made efforts to aquire this knowledge for the sake of a good chance of improving mixing workflows in Reaper ?

Question: Justin, can you tell me if Reaper (as released currently) can losslessly accept, store, play, and save 32-bit integer ASIO files? I'm assuming no math processing on the files. Just record, store, playback, and file save. TY.

Reply on January 4 2015, 5:46am:

Yes, though if you want to put 32 bit integers to disk you'd either need to use 64 bit FP WAV (which would be wasteful but would otherwise preserve exactly the 32 bit integer signal), or 32 bit AIFF. Comment...

Question: Re: I have this bit.ly/1I4D5XB and need this bit.ly/1I4Dd9w. Idea is to auto-calculate tabs needed for indentation, but I'm having problems with CachedFont.DrawText(). On win I found it's enough to call DrawText with DT_EDITCONTROL but there's no such thing in SWELL and this code bit.ly/1EUEcgh does this on OSX bit.ly/1CZhul9. Got any advice? Thanks!

I'd just calculate the rects and draw them manually at a lower level, personally. Comment...

Question: My team is trying to make an FFT bandpass filter to batch-extract harmonics (c++). ReaFIR gives the perfect output: correct amplitude and phase of the harmonic/sinewave. Our code gives the right phase, but wrong amplitude of the harmonic. Any ideas? Are there any common pitfalls that you can think of that would cause this?" This is semi-related to our eventu

Question: over your entire programming history, what bug drove you the most crazy trying to solve? I'm sure there's been many, but try to describe the one that had you almost pulling your hair out.
