    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.

    No idea, these days... I'd use OGG Opus though, that codec is brilliant.

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.

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.

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.

Reply on February 22 2016, 2:24pm:
    I'd like to see software patents ended completely.

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.

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?

    Hmm do you mean offensive threads? I try to avoid them.

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 :)

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)...

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.

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.

Question: Do you think you would have been able to start developing Reaper with the same business model if you were not already in such a comfortable financial situation?
Asked by Bernard (76.19.131.x) on February 5 2016, 5:21am
Reply on February 5 2016, 1:26pm (edited at February 5 2016, 1:28pm):
    I think I would've needed (in addition to the will) about 18 months of room and board to do it. So yes, some level of independence would be required, but no -- "such a comfortable situation" not required.

Question: Do you ever have programming dreams? I've had a couple and had to laugh at myself the next day.
Asked by IXix (165.120.70.x) on February 2 2016, 9:25pm
Reply on February 5 2016, 4:16am:
    Not really, though I sometimes have music dreams where I come up with some progression that's so awesome it doesn't translate to reality.
