Question: What if Gibson (or any other) company give you $50 million for acquiring REAPER. Will you sell them your DAW and enjoy the money for rest of your life without doing anything? Asked by Abhijeet Singh (59.97.205.x) on January 31 2018, 9:14am Reply on February 1 2018, 2:08am: Haha definitely not. Which isn't to say there isn't a price -- but I doubt there is a price that anybody would be willing to pay that I would accept. Comment... Question: Who is your idol? Asked by Revizneid (27.74.185.x) on January 31 2018, 1:48am Reply on February 1 2018, 2:09am: Hmmm there are number of people whom I respect, but I'm not sure I have any idols... Comment... Question: Did you know people are still hacking on WinAMP to make it better? getwacup.com/ Asked by Will (50.84.190.x) on January 29 2018, 10:58pm Reply on January 30 2018, 5:00pm: Yeah, it’s too bad that the core of it isn’t open source, though... Comment... Question: I really want to get into programming/scripting in Reaper. I have some experience with max/msp but not much other programming experience (eager to learn though!). I was wondering how much of those concepts from MAX will apply to JSFX and what are some important differences to be aware of going in. Any resources you would recommend? Asked by cairca (69.120.228.x) on January 29 2018, 9:59pm Reply on January 30 2018, 5:02pm: I don’t know much about Max so hard to say. In Reaper there are two main separate sections for scripting — jsfx, which is essentially like writing a VST in script (often used for real-time audio and/or MIDI processing), or ReaScript which is primarily used for writing things that run in the UI thread, which works out to a higher level function. Comment... Question: I understand you develope your software on a PC. Do you think windows 10 is ok? Or is windows 7 or xp preferrable? Asked by Ulf Enhörning (192.176.237.x) on January 29 2018, 3:26pm Reply on January 30 2018, 5:03pm: These days I mostly use macOS and Linux, but I do also work on Win7 and Win10. I prefer Win7 to Win10 in almost every way, aside from it being out of date... Comment... Question: I want to write my own DAW with quite a different aproach to conventional DAWs. I have looked into juce but feel unsure whether it is the best approach. Did you use any basic inrastructure to handle audio and MIDI or did you write it all from scratch? Can you point me in a good direction of where to start? I have a background as a painter, musician and a bit Asked by Ulf Enhörning (94.234.36.x) on January 28 2018, 4:43pm Reply on January 29 2018, 4:50am: Hard to say, JUCE is a bit too designed for my tastes, but I guess if you want a lot of stuff done for you it would make sense. Comment... Question: If you were me, would you make career in astronomy or in astronaut? Asked by Abhijeet Singh (59.89.123.x) on January 27 2018, 2:16pm Reply on January 29 2018, 4:49am: From where I sit today, astrology seems to be the most relevant (kidding!). Comment... Question: Just found this moments ago, down the rabbit hole great to find you after all these years. Reviewing again Resonance Audio/Unity (for Repear its fine of Youtube etc..) but for VR live music comparing Wwise and Fmod and just wondering if I could keep the workflows for soundesign "base" out of Reaper integrated with Unity or if the wwise and fmod integrations Asked by Simsimphony (76.182.0.x) on January 27 2018, 2:16am Reply on January 29 2018, 4:48am: I have no idea Comment... Question: What booth number is Cockos at NAMM? ;) Asked by Michael (47.184.73.x) on January 27 2018, 1:25am Reply on January 29 2018, 4:46am: We don't bother with such wastes of time ;) Comment... Question: lice svg - should it work at all? can't get anything to render with lice test on mac Asked by oli larkin (92.30.222.x) on January 26 2018, 7:38pm Reply on January 29 2018, 4:46am: Nah it was never really implemented, ignore! Comment... Question: Microsoft is trying so hard to abandon Win32 since W8, this time comes around as Polaris ( windowscentral.com/windows-core-polaris). What's your thoughts and the potential future of REAPER? Obviously I am more concerned about the technological aspects rather than REAPER's future. Asked by Gio (79.130.189.x) on January 26 2018, 8:55am Reply on January 29 2018, 4:46am: I would be very surprised if MS succeeded in ditching Win32, but if it came to it, it would be very easy to make SWELL (and thus REAPER) target Polaris (in addition to Cocoa and X11)... but then you'd have to deal with all of your VST plug-ins, and suddenly Linux desktop w/ WINE would be looking pretty good to pretty much all serious Windows users now. And thus you see how big of a hill MS has to climb. Comment... Question: Have you ever heard of or had contact with Paul Lutus? He is an early programmer who still regularly pushes updates to his website ( arachnoid.com/) and software ( bit.ly/2E4MeWs ) at the age of 72. I see similarities between the two of you, aside from both inspiring me. Asked by GraphenHippo (64.195.215.x) on January 24 2018, 4:57pm Reply on January 29 2018, 4:44am: I haven't, but right on! Comment... Question: I miss WASTE. Are there any spiritual successors you recommend? Asked by Omar (65.242.40.x) on January 22 2018, 8:14pm Reply on January 23 2018, 4:44am: I don't know of any... I should update it and port to macOS/Linux... Comment... Question: Artificial intelligence :) Asked by Revizneid (27.74.185.x) on January 22 2018, 12:08pm Reply on January 23 2018, 4:45am: Ah. I know nothing of it. Comment... Question: Hi Justin, Apologies for maybe being a PITA asking here but is there something ready in WDL/SWELL which makes drawing a transparent region of a window possible (or something like CombineRgn(...,RGN_DIFF)) on linux? I'm trying to modify the GDKwindow via cairo in WM_PAINT of my wnd proc but failing miserably. ANY pointers would be very welcome. Asked by proxy (51.255.33.x) on January 21 2018, 8:57pm Reply on January 23 2018, 4:45am: Hmm not that I can think of... I'll research this at some point, send me an email if you want. Comment... Question: I'm a total fan, both as a user (Reaper, Winamp etc) and a developer (profesional dev, also musician). You seem to have a super productive career, I'd love to emulate it (principles, work midset, guidelines etc). Where can I learn more about Justin Frankel's work life ? BIG THANKS, you inspire me, and Reaper is awesome! Asked by BrunoD (66.131.203.x) on January 21 2018, 4:30pm Reply on January 23 2018, 4:45am: Thanks! I dunno, use what you make is usually my main advice :) Comment... Question: If money wasn’t an issue, what soundsystem would you own? Asked by ZEW77 (73.50.18.x) on January 20 2018, 6:28am Reply on January 20 2018, 11:07pm: A pair of low end Grados and decent studio monitors would be fine... Comment... Question: woooow, i'm having a blast using the 1.x theme. there's something beautiful about old UI... :) Asked by mrfr (82.57.54.x) on January 19 2018, 5:03pm Reply on January 20 2018, 11:08pm: Haha Comment... Question: Could you please tell me what is A.I? How it works? About it's appliable? Asked by Revizneid (27.74.249.x) on January 19 2018, 1:57am Reply on January 20 2018, 11:08pm: What is AI? Comment... Question: What does the word "LANDOLEET" means? :O Asked by Abhijeet Singh (117.222.220.x) on January 15 2018, 9:43am Reply on January 15 2018, 5:32pm: It's short for "land of elite" Comment...
