We changed a lot of prototypes (some years ago) to be more const-correct (e.g. char * to const char *, etc), so you'll need to update your prototypes as well. Comment...

Question: Hi, I've been trying to learn about the rendering of a raw file from the example in the mini sdk. I can get it to build ok, and render correctly. My question is how could I include rendering the markers as embedded cues? Any chance of a snippet of code? Thanks, Wyatt

There are extended APIs to query cues, the structure REAPER_cue and PCM_SOURCE_EXT_ENUMCUES_EX and PCM_SINK_EXT_ADDCUE in

reaper_plugin.h

Question: Any things for Reasampleomtic in the pipeline? Just curious. I'm really starting to have an love afair. After trying various samplers I'm always coming back. It's slim, it's lightweight, easy on cpu and combined with the media explorer one can have a great workflow. No feature requests, just wanted to say thanks so maybe it's still okay to write here.

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?

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: 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.

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...

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...

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...
