Question: Have you ever introduced a bug into a software just to see if anyone would notice? :D Asked by Elan Hickler (184.101.36.x) on February 13 2015, 1:44am Reply on February 16 2015, 1:04am: No, but I've definitely known about bugs and not fixed them until someone complains (though in most cases I'd fix them, sometimes they are too tedious or unlikely, but in either case minor in severity). Comment... Question: I have a feeling that in most fields people of the world tend to get worse and worse. I always force myself to be realist as much as possible, but do you think that's too pessimistic? What do you think are mindsets people would need to change most urgently? Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 11 2015, 9:01pm Reply on February 12 2015, 8:04pm: Not sure I follow this? Things are getting better, mostly? Comment... Question: Deal! :) Asked by Aron (75.134.157.x) on February 11 2015, 6:53pm Reply on February 12 2015, 8:04pm: (kidding of course) Comment... Question: How do you play drums without the neighbors complaining? Asked by Jack (174.49.126.x) on February 11 2015, 4:00pm Reply on February 12 2015, 8:03pm: The neighbors are a wood shop? Comment... Question: Can you guys code Reaper to work with the old Atari ST or Commodore 64? Asked by Aron (75.134.157.x) on February 10 2015, 9:57pm Reply on February 11 2015, 3:18pm: Sure give me about 20 years to do that port Comment... Question: Justin, you may not think it, but answering "I have no idea" is actually very helpful. Because if you don't know then holy sh**. It's good to know whether the answer is obvious or not, it's a big relief to know it isn't! Here's the end result of this ordeal: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1476191&postcount=19.... As for the question: You like? Asked by Elan (184.101.36.x) on February 9 2015, 5:17pm Reply on February 10 2015, 8:07pm: Well I didn't fully look at the link you provided, to be honest. Some nice looking curves, though, in that forum post. Comment... Question: If you could travel to any time period, which era would you go?uld you Asked by Jogger (175.33.6.x) on February 8 2015, 9:13am Reply on February 8 2015, 5:37pm: Hmm does the future count? Seeing the pyramids being built, or Queen play a huge show would both be outstanding. Comment... Question: I created an s curve with two curve functions (see: www.mathopenref.com/graphfunctions.html?fx=(a*x-x)/(4*a*x-a-1)&gx=(-a/2*(x-0.5)-(x-0.5)*0.5)%20/%20(2*-a/2*(x-0.5)/0.5+a/2-0.5)%20+%200.5&sh=f&xh=1&xl=0&yh=1&yl=0&ah=1&al=-1&a=0.5212765957446808 move the A slider), but... Do you know an actual s curve formula I could use to give me similar results? B Asked by Elan Hickler (184.101.36.x) on February 8 2015, 5:25am Reply on February 8 2015, 5:36pm: I have no idea Comment... Question: Which trick did you use in Reaper that mousewheel is working with the plugins which don't support mousewheel ?? Asked by Franci (109.182.148.x) on February 7 2015, 8:19pm Reply on February 8 2015, 5:36pm: Umm I don't think we do? Comment... Question: Justin I think you need a real vacation. :) Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 6 2015, 9:09pm Reply on February 8 2015, 5:36pm: What counts as a real vacation? Comment... Question: they pay you, right? Asked by Will (70.173.145.x) on February 6 2015, 7:53am Reply on February 6 2015, 4:23pm (edited at February 6 2015, 4:24pm): They purchase licenses, which entitles them to use the software that we've already provided them to evaluate. Why is this so hard to understand? Comment... Question: Re: I guess that stuff comes with the territory and kudos to all of the Cockos staff for having to deal with it. I hope we don't push you into reducing your public exposure with all of the critiques as I'm sure none of us mean anything bad, we're just worried our favorite DAW doesn't stray too much :) I hope none of you take it too seriously? Asked by Martin (93.136.117.x) on February 5 2015, 11:39pm Reply on February 6 2015, 4:24pm: It takes a lot of energy. Comment... Question: Adding to Poofox: it does seem R is getting more and more nitpicked and number of small but irritating bugs seems to be increasing. We can't possibly know how you work, but maybe R is indeed getting big enough to hire more devs? Asked by Martin (93.136.117.x) on February 5 2015, 9:08pm Reply on February 5 2015, 10:30pm: I think people should stop trying to tell us how to do our jobs. Comment... Question: Loving the new horizontal scrolling required to read your questions and answers! Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 5 2015, 6:57pm Reply on February 5 2015, 10:30pm: Ha ha! Soon enough that video will scroll off the page and things will get narrow again. Comment... Question: Ever considered hiring some grunts to churn out some of the more nitpicky or tedious requests your customers continuously beg you to implement? Or are there other ways you try to balance your Reaper vision with that of the community? I'm sure you are aware that this is one of the main criticisms of the dev team, so is there any sense of obligation toward p Asked by Poofox (98.28.44.x) on February 5 2015, 3:42am Reply on February 5 2015, 5:06pm: People will always nitpick about stuff no matter how much nitpicking you address. Also those requests aren't always just about tedious work, they often have effects on overall quality/design/maintainability. Comment... Question: How much average annual mileage you do on bike? Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 4 2015, 3:03pm Reply on February 4 2015, 5:44pm: Not that much -- last year about 1300 miles of purely recreational rides, not including most of the transportation around the city (which probably is a few hundred more miles). In comparison, I ran about 675 miles last year, heh. Comment... Question: Are you impressed with FL-Studio for beat making and such? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 4 2015, 1:04am Reply on February 4 2015, 5:44pm: It does some things right and makes certain things easy, but it's not really for me. Comment... Question: HH Drive looks awesome. When it happens to be, i'd love to see a video. In that other video i saw you running red lights :p is that implicitly tolerated by NY police for bikers? I'd be toast if i'd do that in front of them here.. Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 1 2015, 9:26am Reply on February 2 2015, 12:14am (edited at February 2 2015, 12:15am): Yeah they sometimes don't care, other times they ticket you for *NOT* breaking the law. Rule of thumb: don't run red lights in front of cops. Also be careful when doing it, yield, etc. This video (and others) has HH Drive on time lapse, too. Comment... Question: just realized you *could* understand my question wrong (please dont) :) So here's maybe a better one: watched youtube.com/watch?v=Wkvmall6ou4Whats your favorite track/tour in NYC? What bike do you ride in the city? Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on January 31 2015, 5:53pm Reply on January 31 2015, 10:17pm: Favorite places to ride, hmm. Probably that ride you linked to, or better yet going across the GWB to the Henry Hudson Drive route along the river. That road in there is super nice. Prospect Park is also usually pretty good, but I'd avoid Central Park unless you go in bad weather or early mornings. I have two bikes -- a Salsa Casseroll single speed with 32mm tires, and fenders, which I use for going places (I lock it up outside when I do) as well as for bad-weather rides. The other bike is a plasticy Trek Domane which I'll use for purely recreational rides in nicer weather. Comment... Question: JF, I sent an inquiry to the cockos licensing email address a few weeks ago, but no reply. Is that an active address? Asked by John (23.114.218.x) on January 31 2015, 2:25pm Reply on January 31 2015, 10:13pm: Yes, it's active. If you aren't getting a reply, your request is probably considered relatively non-interesting or spammy. Comment...
