Question: Whenever reinstalling Windows (or a new system) I always default to Winamp 2.81. The last one without full web and any integration. I still use it for all music playback and will continue to do so as long as it works. Any plans on updating/creating/remaking a version of a PLAYER of sorts that does the same thing? No resource hog, same controls, etc.? One day Cont'd: it will stop working. And I can't code so I can't do it myself. P.S. The spectrum voiceprint analyzer doesn't work at all. No matter what I try. It does work under Win XP in VirtualBox (I tried) but not in Windows 10. Any tips on making it work (with Winamp 2.81)? Thanks.

Re: voiceprint analyzer, I'd guess that there's some DirectDraw issue with Win10, maybe... Try running Winamp in Windows XP compatibility mode? Comment... Question: Sorry to ask Reaper question... in the arrange area, clicking with a Wacom pen to move cursor doesn’t always register single (left) clicks. Do you have any idea why? It always registers when clicking on the time / ruler area above without fail. I find this odd. Ive tried all different Pen settings, no luck. Thanks Asked by NGF (213.205.252.x) on November 11 2017, 9:45pm Reply on November 11 2017, 11:44pm: If I had to guess it would be because the arrange area has scrollbars, the Wacom driver probably looks at it and decides to handle things differently.

Question: Did you ever go through a phase where you tried to gain muscle? How often do you lift weights these days? Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on November 10 2017, 6:37pm Reply on November 10 2017, 9:48pm (edited at November 10 2017, 9:51pm): Nah I do calisthenics and stuff but never really lift weights.

Comment... Question: Re: That's exactly my worry. It seems to me that the motto ``write once, compile anywhere'' loses ground with that approach, plus modern C++ standards aren't helping at all with added complexity, etc. But, does it really matter these days?

Question: It looks like Google Chrome M62 tackled portability issues by using clang across Win/Mac/Linux. What do you think of their approach? I know you follow the same approach more or less with ICC, could you give some insights from your experience with REAPER? Asked by Gio (94.70.0.x) on November 7 2017, 6:51am Reply on November 7 2017, 2:44pm: Hmm, seems to me like if you have to use a specific compiler then you're code isn't as portable as it should be?

Asked by Ryan (23.16.24.x) on November 6 2017, 1:59am Reply on November 6 2017, 2:57pm: Not really, exercise isn't about results for me, it's about the process and experience.
