Question: When someone works on an extension to Reaper, whether it's a ReaScript or a DLL, does it influence you away from extending Reaper in that area, so as to not 'tread on the toes' of the author? Asked by jamesd256 (79.77.82.x) on March 12 2016, 8:59pm Reply on March 12 2016, 9:37pm: Having a script or plug-in to do something really well will make us less likely to implement it natively, but it's less about not wanting to step on toes, and more about it being less fun to reimplement something that already exists. Having said that, if a script does something that can be done a lot better natively and demonstrates the value in doing it, then it can also encourage it to be done... Comment... Question: I heard you fell asleep last night while playing around with the ARA SDK. Is it true? Asked by Mommy (99.173.156.x) on March 11 2016, 11:54pm Reply on March 12 2016, 9:37pm (edited at March 12 2016, 9:40pm): Hah no. Celemony could also add support for REAPER's equivalent of ARA, since we document that API (and ReaScripts and ReaTune already use it)... I suppose I should ask Celemony for a recent version of the ARA SDK, but there's always more interesting things to do than that... Comment... Question: First off, thanks for making various software that is absolutely amazing. As an avid Linux fan - how would you describe your connection with Linux? Thanks for amazing Wiki post on how to install it through Wine - you don't often see developers (especially music related software) caring about *nix community. Asked by 0x524 (31.134.103.x) on March 9 2016, 9:20pm Reply on March 9 2016, 9:34pm: I definitely like Linux too, but it's also a challenging target. I didn't write that Wiki post, but we do indeed like to support WINE (and are chipping away at the native version, slowly). Comment... Question: I just realize you look like John McAfee. youtube.com/watch?v=MG0bAaK7p9s&fe... Asked by Poops (121.167.99.x) on March 9 2016, 5:02am Reply on March 9 2016, 3:48pm: Hmm other than white guy with beard, not sure I agree there... Comment... Question: Are you playing around with any VR headsets such as Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? Asked by Erik (73.204.130.x) on March 5 2016, 4:24am Reply on March 5 2016, 11:43pm: I've used a rift once, wasn't too impressed with the quality of the screen, but we'll see how they end up... anyway. Comment... Question: Hi! There are some free software, library or framework to build over a P2P audio server and client? I want to start a online radio for broadcast live music shows and i can't find a costa effective software to use. Asked by V�ctor Dario Ver (181.108.154.x) on February 29 2016, 8:17am Reply on March 4 2016, 10:14pm: No idea, these days... I'd use OGG Opus though, that codec is brilliant. Comment... Question: What's your favourite hardware to listen to music to 1) at work 2) at not work Asked by RonSwanson (95.89.174.x) on February 28 2016, 4:20pm Reply on February 29 2016, 1:17am: Ron Swanson! Wow what an honor! Can we get porterhouse?! It depends on the room, but a cheaper (e.g. $100) pair of Grado headphones is hard to beat, but when I do beat it it's usually with Meyersound HD-1s. Comment... Question: What would be your next Audi? What has been your fav so far? Asked by Derek (209.37.96.x) on February 24 2016, 6:02pm Reply on February 24 2016, 7:54pm: The 2000 S4 was my favorite. Not planning on getting any more cars though, but if I needed to have one, any manual transmission AWD wagon would probably be my preference. Nothing fancy though. Comment... Question: What methods do you currently use to acquire others' music? itunes? spotify? pandora? Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on February 24 2016, 2:40am Reply on February 24 2016, 4:45pm: I find things I like wherever (Youtube often), then buy mp3s from Amazon usually, or wherever else if Amazon doesn't have it (for example The Courage Of Others I had to go to Musictoday). Not spotify or pandora. Boo. I like buying albums, even if they aren't physical. Comment... Question: Midlake are amazing!! My thoughts on software as well! Asked by Memy (75.134.150.x) on February 23 2016, 4:12pm Reply on February 24 2016, 4:45pm: Yeah! Comment... Question: What are your thoughts on patent trolls? those who patent software tech so no one else can implement those features in their software or have to pay them a fee to do so? Asked by memy (75.134.150.x) on February 21 2016, 4:15pm Reply on February 22 2016, 2:24pm: I'd like to see software patents ended completely. Comment... Question: What are your favorite albums of 2015? Asked by Memy (75.134.150.x) on February 20 2016, 3:23pm Reply on February 22 2016, 2:24pm: Hmm not sure, but right now I'm listening to an older album over and over -- Midlake -- The Courage of Others. Comment... Question: When was the last time you made a donation for a software ? What was the software ? Asked by CWyatt (213.219.167.x) on February 20 2016, 1:42pm Reply on February 22 2016, 2:25pm: Most recently, for some crazy good ReaScripts... Comment... Question: I7 4790k, 5820k or 6700k? Would any of those make a palpable difference in REAPER for mixing large projects? Considering the motherboard, ram and interface are a good. Thanks for the DAW! Asked by Ignacio (186.60.39.x) on February 15 2016, 8:35pm Reply on February 17 2016, 10:23pm: I'm sure any would be great! I find myself hesitant to upgrade as making sure things work well on the low end is also a priority... but any i7 these days will crush it. Comment... Question: If you had to get a job and you had two choices: working for Jobs or working for Musk, which would you choose and why? Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on February 13 2016, 10:05pm Reply on February 15 2016, 6:56pm: Depends on the job and corporate culture... but probably Musk. All of my friends have worked for Apple, it'd be a bit of sloppy seconds you know? Comment... Question: Do you follow offending threads on the Reaper forum? Do you ever consider the contents regardless of the offense? Asked by amos (79.177.117.x) on February 12 2016, 7:09pm Reply on February 13 2016, 3:17pm: Hmm do you mean offensive threads? I try to avoid them. Comment... Question: I'm attempting to build a loop pedal with a cheap ARM/Debian computer. Any software recommendations, that would allow me to script recording/layering/playbacks? My first thought is to script against something like Audacity manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/scripting.html . Any thoughts are appreciated :) Asked by magicmoose (64.195.215.x) on February 10 2016, 4:32pm Reply on February 12 2016, 4:20am: Hmm not really, but I've been thinking about getting a RPI2 since ARMv7 would make a JSFX port somewhat doable (FPU and 16-bit constant loads)... Comment... Question: Justin, Recently a great service that allowed NHL fans to watch games anywhere, anytime, without blackouts was forced to shut down. Now us NHL fans are kinda screwed. I'm thinking of a way to help out a couple buddies who moved away from chicago watch the blackhawks. Whats the best way to stream the games for them. I know you has some involvement with NS Asked by WEZ77 (208.73.132.x) on February 8 2016, 10:46pm Reply on February 9 2016, 6:15am: No idea, I don't really care about watching sports ... :) Comment... Question: what do you think of Haskell? Asked by memy (75.134.150.x) on February 8 2016, 4:07pm Reply on February 9 2016, 6:15am: I've never used it. Comment... Question: Apples. Red or green? Asked by IXix (165.120.71.x) on February 6 2016, 8:19pm Reply on February 6 2016, 9:51pm: Green. Preferably not too green, Golden Delicious aren't green enough, Granny Smith too green. Mutsu is probably my favorite. I will also go on the red side too, though not Red Delicious, more like Pink Lady (though maybe they are a little too floral) or Gala. Comment...
