Question: Many users asked you about ARA support for melodyne and I know your answers to them and I understand. What about if a user asks you about to make "reatune" more poweful?

Question: More weirdness. After a clean system shutdown I did the inconceivable, removed the second HDD from the system. Then windows didn't boot, it didn't like the change so started error checking then "fixing". It took some time... Eventually fed up, now everything runs a variation of Linux... Any progress of SWELL for Linux?

Question: I'm FSFICcc$ie9╞☼43(closest approximation) from Alpha Centauri. I'm interested to know if your originally from around my area. My ship broke down and I'm nearly about about ready to get off this god forsaken planet and was wondering if you wanted a ride! Also, seems I have to be a human to reply, but I do share 67% of the same DNA. Hopefully that's good

    I think that's a relative term... I like to read the digital versions of the new york times, washington post, atlantic, economist, new york magazine, and others... I get a lot of stuff via twitter too.

Question: Apparently there is a version of windows with no bullshit attached. Look for Enterprise LTSB but it's rather expensive. At the moment I use Debian with FreeRDP to connect to win workstations so I don't have to deal with unpredictability. It looks to me that MS is desperate, don't you think?

Question: Woke up 5:00am to get things done. Had a Win update waiting for me, ended a 90m update. Desktop icons was misplaced, win+pause shortcut now it's XBOX, windows dialogs forgot the position/size and I had to accent a license with plenty of ads. What's wrong with MS?

    meh, while i'm sure it's a fine plugin, i doubt it does anything you couldn't do with a plain EQ, compressor, etc. Just takes time and effort (which is also required when using fancy plugins like that, though perhaps less). I'm gonna go with mostly marketing for most plugins.

Question: re: thanks, that was helpful. byteadvance might be useful for other bps too, e.g. i think flac uses a 32bit integer for all bitdepths in the write callback, etc.

    Use 0 if you want your 24 bit samples packed, otherwise if you want them padded to 32 bits, use 1 (or 1*nch if interleaved)...

Question: How do I properly use doublesToPcm for 24 bit data?
Asked by fkbash (79.130.172.x) on July 19 2017, 8:17am
Reply on July 19 2017, 1:32pm:
    Assuming input and output are planar (not interleaved):
    for (x=0;x<nch;x++)
      doublesToPcm(double_ptr[x], 1, num_samples, char_ptr[x], 24, 1,0);
    
    If interleaved, then:
    for (x=0;x<nch;x++)
      doublesToPcm(double_ptr+x, nch, num_samples, char_ptr + 3*x, 24, nch,0);

Question: Ever considered switching to Clang for all platforms? It's pretty easily integrated into MSVS. Lotsa nice static analysis tools, better error messages, standards compliant (soon to be c++17 complete) For Reaper 6.0 perhaps?

Question: Can you recommend Grandaddy / Lytle songs for someone who only knows "He's Simple..."?
Asked by Andy (173.239.215.x) on July 17 2017, 11:11pm
Reply on July 18 2017, 3:49am:
    I like albums -- "He's simple..." is followed by a fantastic album (The Sophtware Slump). I can't pick individual songs as favorites, it works so well as an album, but "Jed's Other Poem" and "The Crystal Lake" are so good.

    The Jason Lytle album "Yours Truly, The Commuter", is also very good in a different way. "Ghost of My Old Dog" is so simple and beautiful, and flows in to "I am lost...".

    Having said all of that, the rawness of the old stuff, "Under the Western Freeway", especially "Everything Beautiful is Far Away" is very appealing to me. There's also an album "A pretty mess by this one band" or something which is great.

    Just to be clear: I'm not recommending songs there, but the entire albums. Just noting songs that since you asked for songs... ;)

Question: Have you considered making WDL available via vcpkg?

    Nope, I figure most people who will use WDL will want to merge it into their git repositories, or something (or install it next to them)

Question: Does software that has music notation tend to use images to draw the notes or actually draw them using the programing language draw functions. (badly worded but hopefully you can figure out what I'm trying to say and learn)
