Question: which would you say is the best and fastest way to learn DSP? Asked by maximilian (89.0.188.x) on September 27 2017, 1:57pm Reply on September 28 2017, 1:38am: Dunno, I've only ever done it with incredible slowness. Comment... Question: re video pan/crop with joystick. ideally would be good to playback a video on timeline and move joystick with realtime view of the movements while recording changes as automation to render as new file. that would create the feel of operating pan/tilt head live when editing. useful for running multiple cameras without needing as many operators. would grow whe Asked by EcBaPr (124.170.224.x) on September 26 2017, 12:17pm Reply on September 28 2017, 1:38am: Hmm yeah. Perhaps at some point I need to make video processors on the master track realtime automated. Mmmm. Comment... Question: Do you prefer Rubber Band timestretch over Elastique? A commercial Rubber Band licence seems to be cheaper and more flexible. Right? Asked by Mommy (199.36.220.x) on September 26 2017, 6:00am Reply on September 26 2017, 12:01pm: It is interesting for some uses but I prefer elastique, personally. Comment... Question: (Wanted to just thank you for taking the time to answer so courteously over the years but since this is called Ask Justin...) How do you test REAPER and has your approach to testing changed since the Winamp days? Asked by Anon (37.152.218.x) on September 24 2017, 8:09pm Reply on September 25 2017, 12:55pm: I use version control a lot more than I did with Winamp originally, so there's a lot of diffing and thought given to those changes. I try to test everything I change, and make tests for things that I think could be affected, but I don't usually keep those long term. The biggest things we do is encourage pre-release testing by as many users who wish to test, the whole "closed" or "invite-only" pre-release cycle thing is a huge waste IMO. I'm pretty happy having a site with bleeding edge versions and a forum to discuss them, and ending up (eventually) with stable builds that go to the main web site... REAPER is probably one or two orders of magnitude more complex than Winamp was, heh. Comment... Question: hi.. would you have any interest in writing a plugin or small application that does whats described in this post.. goo.gl/HzKzSf It would be very useful and there is nothing (i could find) currently available to achieve this.. Asked by EcBaPr (124.170.224.x) on September 24 2017, 10:58am Reply on September 25 2017, 12:52pm: You could do this using REAPER w/ joystick-MIDI support and a custom video processor... would take a bit of scripting though, yeah. Maybe at some point I could do it... would you be looking for interactive realtime use, or for automated use to render later, or both? The way video is handled, realtime preview while recording automation is perhaps a touch tricky. Comment... Question: Have you ever used any of the sanitizers (github.com/google/sanitizers) and if so did they help you find genuine issue Asked by Anon (37.152.218.x) on September 22 2017, 9:14pm Reply on September 22 2017, 11:12pm (edited at September 25 2017, 12:50pm): Not those, but some gcc/clang/PVS Studio warnings have been helpful. I'll check out those though... Edit: ah, they're now available in xcode too, sweet! Comment... Question: Which projects did you look at back in the day to learn C as well as you did? Asked by Dave (50.84.190.x) on September 22 2017, 2:09pm Reply on September 22 2017, 11:13pm: I dunno, access to code and documentation was pretty difficult back then. Comment... Question: Do you often experience a mental state of excitement while coding, where you hardly can stop and really want so see that feature running… sometimes loosing the ability to question what you are doing? If yes, do you rather stop or continue the whole night? Asked by David (93.221.70.x) on September 21 2017, 6:41pm Reply on September 21 2017, 6:46pm: I get obsessive about coding related things at times, but I've gotten better at getting them to an intermediate state that is non-complete but what that I can resume more easily, so I don't have to stay up all night. I do continue to question what I'm doing as I'm doing it, too, and often do a lot of work only to throw it away (or let it live only in my git reflog until it gets gc'd away someday). Comment... Question: Do you think real-time remote music collaboration is possible in the short term? Asked by Thomas (107.77.237.x) on September 18 2017, 5:12pm Reply on September 19 2017, 12:39pm: Multiple people editing the same project remotely? Sure. In REAPER? Not in the short term Comment... Question: Yeah, I have a working Windows version. I sent the wrong link earlier. I'll send the right one to your email tomorrow. Thanks,Wyatt Asked by Wyatt Rice (76.77.160.x) on September 18 2017, 5:25am Reply on September 18 2017, 12:39pm: Check out github.com! If you're not using git (or some other version control), you should be! Comment... Question: Hi Justin. Wow. Thanks so much. This will be great! I'm not sure how to put it on github, as I've never used it. I'll study it and see if I can, be it might be best if you did it. Again, Many Thanks, Wyatt Asked by Wyatt Rice (76.77.160.x) on September 18 2017, 1:18am Reply on September 18 2017, 3:04am: Hmm is it pretty much done on Windows or is there much work to be done? Are there buttons on the main window that need to be there? It's unclear to me... Anyway email me (justin at cockos) about this. Comment... Question: For the record, "Linux stuff" does count! If for no other reason than being able to develop VSTs on my laptop and test in Reaper! Re: development on Linux, are you a whiz with GDB or do you use MSVS for any non-platform specific debugging? Asked by fmap (47.54.22.x) on September 17 2017, 8:39pm Reply on September 18 2017, 12:38am: I use GDB but end up googling how to do things a ton. Comment... Question: Hi Justin. I was wondering if you could help me port an extension for Mac? www.wyattrice.com/reaper_ddp_marker/ddp_marker_list_editor.zip... Asked by Wyatt Rice (76.77.160.x) on September 17 2017, 6:50pm Reply on September 18 2017, 12:38am (edited at September 18 2017, 12:41am): I would be happy to (at some point in the next couple of weeks anyway)! If you want to post it on github you can (and give me write perms), otherwise I'll make a repository there. Might be good to merge the latest WDL too, since it'll have swell updates. Comment... Question: Simplest way to make a custom control with WDL? a REAPER-like slider or tab control. Asked by Gio (79.130.161.x) on September 16 2017, 4:36pm Reply on September 16 2017, 5:29pm: That's too vague, maybe post on the forums with more details as to what you're looking for (you want to make a new HWND, or a WDL_VWnd based control? It's unclear...) Comment... Question: While on subject of ARA: it's not just for Melodyne. There are other plugins like VocALign that use it, so asking every plugin to support Reaper API is probably also not gonna happen... Sadly as much as people love Reaper, you guys don't have the industry pull for other devs to implement your API into their plugins, except Voxengo, heh. Asked by Parrot (85.17.24.x) on September 16 2017, 7:33am Reply on September 16 2017, 3:15pm (edited at September 16 2017, 4:00pm): OK fine a handful of plugins. It would probably take them an hour or two to add support for the REAPER API (which is flexible and incredibly simple), and the end result would be a lot more efficient and flexible IMO. Comment... Question: Spy++... I don't have/use Visual Studio, and that seems to be the only way to get it?... Asked by EvilDragon (213.202.108.x) on September 16 2017, 7:16am Reply on September 16 2017, 3:16pm: Yep, I think so here. Comment... Question: Since Schwa successfully completed Automation Items while you took a breather (Linux stuff doesn't count), does that mean that you're up next for the ARA integration? Are you looking forward to getting back in the game? Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on September 15 2017, 4:47pm Reply on September 15 2017, 10:48pm (edited at September 15 2017, 10:51pm): This is inappropriate subject matter, again. But while I have you here, ARA is the wrong solution to the problem, a good solution would be for Melodyne to support the REAPER API to access samples. Making ARA fit into REAPER for one plug-in is too ugly. Comment... Question: Re: mouse. More Justin humor? :)... I would but it's the only one I have. And it was kinda pricey for a mouse, so I really want it to work everywhere :( Asked by EvilDragon (213.202.109.x) on September 15 2017, 4:19pm Reply on September 15 2017, 10:48pm: Can you run spy++ and see what messages it is sending? Comment... Question: I am having horrible issues with horizontal mousewheel not working in Reaper as supposed to... Thread exists since May this year (t=192376)... Please check post #16 because I think I have the issue nailed, it's not just Logitech drivers, it's Reaper messing something up as well... Sorry for posting here but I really want this to work with Reaper! Asked by EvilDragon (213.202.109.x) on September 15 2017, 9:18am Reply on September 15 2017, 1:49pm: Send me the mouse I guess? :) Comment... Question: I have started building my own personal (non public) daw, but every couple of days I randomly hear about some new feature in reaper that makes me doubt I should continue. Spectral editing? Automation items? Seriously? You are going to "steal" users from both the edm kids market and the post guys! Are you trying to annihilate competition in the daw market by Asked by damn (79.23.36.x) on September 14 2017, 5:44pm Reply on September 14 2017, 11:38pm: You need surprisingly few features to do interesting things, IMO. Some of the stuff I made with REAPER early on was really fun... Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
