Question: what do you think of Ableton Link? have you ever tried or curious about it?
Asked by deee (79.168.107.x) on March 30 2018, 4:07pm

    I'm familiar with it and it definitely looks interesting/fun, we've looked at adding support but never gotten around to it.

Question: Do aliens (living beings other than in Earth) exists? Just forget those scary Hollywood movies for now. And think, that Earth can't be just a single habitable planet in this (observable) universe (which is even much bigger than 91 billion light years).

Reply on March 30 2018, 9:47pm:
    Sure, they probably exist or have existed, but they're unfortunately probably really, really, REALLY, REALLY far away (and as a result, maybe their transmissions won't get here for millions of years too?)...

Reply on March 28 2018, 3:19pm:
    We don't have specific version plans, we might go to 6.0 before 5.99, or we might get to 5.99 and 5.991, anything could happen!

Reply on March 26 2018, 4:31pm (edited at March 26 2018, 5:20pm):
    7 billion people is plenty, and I have no desire -- that's two but what more do you need?

    (Edit: I also originally said "Oh sure, the burden is on me to list reasons why I don't want them, why don't you ask people who do want them to list the reasons they do?" but my wife thought I was being too irritable, sorry).

Question: Have you heard about Brave browser? What do you think about idea of micropayments for the content instead of ads?

    Nope... Micropayments, hmm I dunno. I'd like to be able to decide whether to pay after I've read something rather than before? :)

Question: what do you think of bitcoin?
Asked by btcguy (24.5.71.x) on March 23 2018, 2:41pm
Reply on March 23 2018, 9:23pm:
    Interesting concept, but in practice it is a ridiculous waste of energy and of people's time. I have a bet with a friend that it'll be less than $2,000 for a BTC by June. I might not win, but it's closer to that now than it was when I made the bet ;)

Question: Will reaper ever be a web app, rewritten in Javascript/WebAssembly?
Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on March 22 2018, 3:24am
Reply on March 22 2018, 12:47pm (edited at March 22 2018, 12:48pm):
    It am pretty sure that it will never be rewritten, but it is definitely possible that it could get cross-compiled to that as an additional target at some point.

    ALSA MIDI is not yet implemented, if you want to use MIDI hardware you should use JACK for now.

Question: Do you think a full-duplex audio device init/config and playback/rec engine would be a good fit for an FPGA? It's basically a state machine, right? the codec says "here's a buffer" or "gimme a buffer" and the DMA controller does it's job. Why has nobody done low-latency computer audio as a driver presented in hardware?
Asked by Aaron Peacock (83.223.233.x) on March 15 2018, 2:31am
Reply on March 15 2018, 11:56am:
    Limited utility? Some vendors use FPGA for live mixing/routing/etc (e.g. RME), but when it comes to higher latency stuff like dealing with disk, might as well let a general purpose CPU do that?

Question: if you weren't dev of reaper, would you spend your time making and justifying feature requests? why?
Asked by deee (79.168.107.x) on March 13 2018, 4:32pm
Reply on March 13 2018, 8:05pm:
    That's hard to say, but I can't remember the last feature request I submitted for any bit of software... Maybe that Winamp-in-javascript thing, asking for http playlist support :)
