Oh yes, there will be so much caffeine it will be amazing. Comment...

Question: Is it a coincidence that ARA2 was recently developed or did you/Schwa prompt Celemony to do so? What's your opinion on ARA1 vs ARA2?

As far as I know ARA2 has been in development a long time. I'm out of the loop on ARA so I am not qualified to answer, but I imagine ARA2 would be extending ARA1... Comment...

Such a wasted opportunity... but I never use it anymore so what can I say? Comment...

Question: I know this is crazy... but is it possible that in Reaper 6 we will see video recording capability? (recording video using your laptop build-in camera or the one that is connected to your computer) It would've been really handy for bloggers and tutorial type of guys. Though I understand that it might be to complex to implement.

Nope, though I'm eying some live capture capability so we can do live video processors.. at least as a hack. Comment...

Question: Q1) Will you make a new theme for REAPER 6 or continue the v5 theme? Q2) What if you get tired & stop developing REAPER? Will you open-source it? Will REAPER continue to develop after becoming open-source?

Reply on December 14 2017, 3:03pm:

I can't say theme plans have been made, but every other major version of REAPER so far has had a new theme. Re: getting tired of REAPER, I wouldn't worry about that any time soon, and maybe by the time you would worry about it we'll have AI writing code for us? :) Comment...

Question: Please, discontinue the unlimited trial period, JF :/ many people actually won't buy REAPER just because of this.
Asked by Abhijeet Singh (117.207.142.x) on December 13 2017, 9:08am
Reply on December 13 2017, 3:36pm (edited at December 13 2017, 3:37pm):

There is no unlimited trial period! The trial period is 60 days, but we choose not to enforce it via copy protection because doing so would: not be a good use of development resources, not make the best product, result in additional support burden, prevent licensed users from using it in certain instances, encourage illegitimate users to use cracked versions (and thus making them less likely to buy a license eventually), and so on. Also, what's it to you? Comment...

Question: When swapping FX order via chunk, FXGUID's are not reordered, see goo.gl/aouFHN.Background: Trying to fix goo.gl/pUoG6i.Wondering, is this intended behaviour and SWS should work around it (manually swapping FXGUID's afterwards?) or a bug which could be fixed in R. ?

email me or PM me on the forum, better place to discuss than here. Just took a look -- it's because SnM/SnM_ChunkParserPatcher.h RemoveAllIds() removes the FXID lines, duh. Comment...
