Question: On the woodchuck thing. Do you agree that a wise woodchuck would be enterprising and wouldn't chuck wood but would have other woodchucks chuckin?
Asked by PunkyBrewster (108.84.128.x) on January 21 2016, 11:37pm
Reply on January 22 2016, 6:38pm:
    depends, would a woodchuck chuck wood for fun or would it be for wood profit?

Question: Well, as one of the original four horsemen you know how cool p2p is, plus it would open the door to having a bunch of demos/whatever available without substantially increasing the numerals used in your S3 statements. We had a winter wonderland for two days here in Glasgow, it's all melted now but snowballs rock! :)

    Well, keeping demos separate from our installers is important, why should every person downloading the installer (and updating) get a demo?

    As for distributing demos -- Amazon bandwidth, while expensive, just doesn't add up to that much. And when it does, we can move those things to cheaper pastures -- our videos page, for example, is hosted on cheaper bandwidth (but is still plenty fast!)

Question: What do you think about using torrents to distribute Reaper and have you thrown any snowballs this year?

Reply on January 19 2016, 9:16pm:
    Why would I bother? No snowballs yet, we had a dusting of snow the other night but that's it so far.

Question: Hi Justin. Do you know how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Asked by IXix (86.168.176.x) on January 17 2016, 1:12pm
Reply on January 18 2016, 2:57pm:
    How would I know how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would want to chuck wood?

    as a side note it is difficult for me not to type "woodchunk" instead, strange.

Question: I've read that you're caring about the energy consumption of your computers. Are you even more into "sustainable" coding? It's just that especially computers and phones are not the best things to buy if you care about the environment. But you need them to test your software. What do you feel about that?
Asked by Albi (86.168.34.x) on January 14 2016, 11:29pm
Reply on January 15 2016, 3:36pm:
    Yeah, I feel wasteful at times with all of these electronics. My newest computer is going on 4 years old, I think, most are quite a bit older. It's still too much crap, though.

    I improved some performance issues recently, and I have a branch that does some fun things with allowing you to shuffle samples, as well as copy/paste across channels (so you can sum multiple loops into a single one, etc), but not sure if I really like those changes... we'll see!

Question: What's the most extravagant thing you ever got yourself? Do you still give yourself crazy things or is it a joyless passing fad? youtube.com/watch?v=kSHUha9ABNY

Reply on January 13 2016, 2:10pm:
    Perhaps a 911 Turbo... which was silly, but fun at times.

    These days not so much, though I suppose living in NYC is a nice luxury.

    I just spent $7 at the plexiglass store. Awesome.

Question: Audacity does great on that infinitewave test. Couldn't you take a peek at their algorithm?
Asked by terry (50.246.0.x) on January 7 2016, 9:19pm
Reply on January 8 2016, 4:34am:
    They have different requirements -- REAPER's samplerate conversion needs to support arbitrary conversion ratios and also changing ratios on the fly.

Question: Thanks. Or, maybe support the *.multisample format from BWS, that one is all XML and easy enough to parse.

    I will look into this.

    Hmm that'd be a mess, let me see if I can come up with a good alternative way to import.
