Question: Okay, so this makes REAPER very difficult to use in live situations. I'm forced to manually insert delay plugins on each track, or I can insert a zero-latency plugin that reports the input latency on the monitored track to get the REAPER PDC to kick in. Is it not a good idea to have REAPER do this for me automatically based upon existing I/O latency configur Asked by adlongername (70.66.148.x) on August 15 2015, 3:13am Reply on August 15 2015, 10:10pm: I don't think you're understanding this properly, email me (justin at cockos) if you need more explanation. Comment... Question: May I be forgiven for asking about a REAPER feature due to the forum goons having no idea what I'm talking about? (i.e. what is the best possible method to handle this case?) Asked by adlongername (70.66.148.x) on August 14 2015, 8:43pm Reply on August 15 2015, 2:49am: You are forgiven for REAPER questions as that is a valid question. The discouraging bit above is more to prevent people asking "when is REAPER going to do XYZ?" or "why don't you implement ABC?" Comment... Question: Does Reaper provide an option to take into account input latency while monitoring and include this in the latency compensation to delay other tracks so they line up with the monitored input? Asked by adlongername (70.66.148.x) on August 14 2015, 7:59am Reply on August 15 2015, 2:49am (edited at August 15 2015, 3:01am): That's not the way that latency compensation works in REAPER -- instead, how it is done is: 1) You play along with the playing project 2) When the recording is added to the project, it is offset by the monitoring latency amount (this includes both input and output!), so that what you heard while recording is what you'll hear when you play the project back. So, the end result is the same. Get it? By default, REAPER doesn't include PDC latency on the recording track, however there is a per-track option to have it include PDC latency on that adjustment that is made. Comment... Question: Not a question - just a thanks for your interview on Youtube. Asked by Steve (66.31.84.x) on August 14 2015, 2:06am Reply on August 15 2015, 2:48am: Hah sure thing! Comment... Question: I am sure the new generation of audio programmers would have much to learn from your experience :) Asked by Random Dude (94.60.120.x) on August 12 2015, 8:25pm Reply on August 15 2015, 2:48am: Maybe, though today's video would have been incredibly boring -- "here let me fix ANSI vs UTF-8 issues in our registration/license key system"... Comment... Question: hey, mate. Congratulations for the new release, I will give it a solid try in the wk. it seemed to me that this release was a very long run but I am way happier for the direction compared to v4. discuss your journey for this release. thanks. :) Asked by gio (94.70.16.x) on August 12 2015, 7:10pm Reply on August 12 2015, 7:53pm: Hah! Well let's see. In the fall some of the video stuff started shaping up, and I started making videos with it. It was a lot of fun. How did we get to August?! Lots of other things in there, and a bunch of branches ready to be integrated for 5.01/5.1. More work, too. At this point in the existence of REAPER, we've wanted to be really careful not to break things. Which since I just wrote that, there will likely be some earth-shattering bug that requires 5.01 to be released tomorrow, but hopefully not. That's the hardest part -- REAPER 4.7x has its flaws, but it does mostly work and mostly work well, the flaws are relatively minor and known. So any time you go make big updates, you run the risk of fucking things up completely. So hopefully we've avoided that, and me saying this doesn't jinx that. I am knocking on wood right now. Comment... Question: Who are the reaper devs these days? Asked by Will (50.246.0.x) on August 12 2015, 6:30pm Reply on August 12 2015, 7:50pm: JeffOS and Schwa, and of course I'm still here. Comment... Question: I apologise if this has been asked 100 times already but in the forums you mentioned offering somme one bounty to write libraries neede for porting Reaper to Linux, did anyone respond? Asked by stumpbroke1 (208.79.246.x) on August 11 2015, 1:09pm Reply on August 12 2015, 7:49pm: A few people did, but sort of wandered off... Comment... Question: Ever thought about doing a programing stream? handmadehero.org/ Asked by Random Dude (94.60.120.x) on August 11 2015, 2:46am Reply on August 12 2015, 7:49pm: Man that would be tough.. hard work, really. Suppose I could do a little of it at some point as a joke, but *every day*?! no way. Comment... Question: Are you involved in any interesting projcets nowadays? P,s i love Winamp. Asked by Magnus (62.182.216.x) on August 7 2015, 10:46am Reply on August 8 2015, 7:18pm: Getting ready to release REAPER 5 :) Comment... Question: Would you agree with 57:00-62:10 in how your life changed? unmistakablecreative.com/podcast/u... Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 29 2015, 6:41pm Reply on July 30 2015, 10:11pm: Pretty much. If you're working a job that you find interesting and you have enough money to make your rent, it doesn't get much better. Just don't have kids. Comment... Question: In most DAWs, when you hit the MIDI keyboard the sound - from a VI - comes virtually at the same time. Enables for great playing. But not so in Reaper, where the latency delay is horribly noticable. It's the only thing that makes me shun Reaper. Will Reaper ever get that functionality? And if so, within an overseeable timeframe? Asked by Music-Moose (83.209.99.x) on July 29 2015, 6:05pm Reply on July 30 2015, 9:59pm: This sounds as though you have something misconfigured. What audio device, and audio device mode are you using? Comment... Question: Probably best ask Pete about it (I don't know personally), but looks like MS is going C# for ease of development. I venture in due time win32 will become antiquated. Gotta keep up with the times. Asked by EvilDragon (141.138.32.x) on July 26 2015, 6:19pm Reply on July 30 2015, 9:59pm: Yeah, that's often easier said than done though. Comment... Question: (merge please) Here's the new MIDI API demo from Pete: tinyurl.com/o7kuqvn Also, MS is working tightly with DAW and hardware vendors, they intend to bring pro audio to a whole new level with W10 (that's why hw vendors are intent on supporting the new API too). You better be part of it ;) Asked by EvilDragon (85.17.24.x) on July 24 2015, 10:22pm Reply on July 26 2015, 5:07pm: Do they have a C/C++ example? Comment... Question: IMPORTANT REAPER QUESTION: Products for your beard, ever used them? If so, which ones? Asked by Graham (207.6.166.x) on July 23 2015, 3:03am Reply on July 24 2015, 8:31pm: Just an electric trimmer. Comment... Question: Re W10, take a bit of time and watch this vid: tinyurl.com/p79m6ry ;) I feel W10 might completely outdo CoreAudio, and then some. Asked by EvilDragon (89.164.106.x) on July 22 2015, 8:57pm Reply on July 24 2015, 8:32pm (edited at July 24 2015, 8:44pm): Multi-device MIDI access will be nice. Hopefully the APIs aren't terrible. WASAPI sucks. Actually, most modern MS APIs really suck. :/ Would be nice if they just said "hey we've improved the classic win32 APIs" rather than "here's a new API". ...watching more: too much "opt-in". Sure, audio core isolation sounds great, but you'll need *all* of your drivers to opt-in. So in practice it will be tricky, I'd imagine. 1 Comment... Question: Any thoughts on Windows 10's new audio optimizations/features? Has anything improved from a DAW development standpoint? Asked by Aaron (65.188.190.x) on July 22 2015, 1:22am Reply on July 22 2015, 3:55pm: I know nothing of Windows 10 :) Comment... Question: Did you and Brennan have discussions on the direction WA3 was gonna go, or did you hand over the reigns and trust him to use his judgment? Asked by Will (107.203.156.x) on July 16 2015, 3:39pm Reply on July 20 2015, 7:08pm: Yeah, there were lots of discussions with lots of people, I think. And I went AWOL at times too. Comment... Question: Open Office or Libre Office? Asked by mEMUA (75.134.128.x) on July 16 2015, 1:02am Reply on July 20 2015, 7:07pm: *blushes* still have an ancient office2000 install here. Comment... Question: Would it be a cool idea to add an API to create mixer track plugins with custom graphics so an fx chain can have a user custom made gui interface? Im primarily thinking of making your own channel strip using favorite plugins. Asked by ReapingBenefits (88.16.17.x) on July 13 2015, 11:10pm Reply on July 20 2015, 7:07pm: Yeah that would be cool!
