Question: Reaper being so customizable, I always wondered how do you handle this ever growing complexity in your code?? I rarely see any serious regression bugs in Reaper development, which is IMO incredible. Asked by Zabukowski (109.182.148.x) on April 13 2018, 5:55pm Reply on April 13 2018, 8:38pm: They definitely happen, though hopefully most of the time they are not catastrophic, and don’t survive prerelease testing. But even so, they do. Just fixed one this morning that broke in 5.50. Bit of a corner case, but still... Comment... Question: Are the tracks you create that mean the most to you also the ones that resonate with your fans? Or is it a "hit or miss" thing, more random than formulaic? just curious to hear a fellow renaissance man's perspective ;) Asked by heuristik (98.165.96.x) on April 13 2018, 8:58am Reply on April 13 2018, 8:40pm: Hah I think the tastes of my 5 fans and mine are probably aligned due to self selection, but not sure what the most popular things i’ve made (software aside) are... Comment... Question: How many hours do you sleep per day? And timings? Asked by Sleepy Tortoise (117.197.2.x) on April 12 2018, 3:02am Reply on April 12 2018, 3:41am: These days around 8.5-9, I prefer it to be 10pm to 7am but it inevitably ends up closer to midnight to 8:30am. Comment... Question: Did you watch Zuckerberg's congressional hearing? Any thoughts on him? Asked by Will (50.84.190.x) on April 10 2018, 8:55pm Reply on April 10 2018, 11:25pm: Nope, though apparently the stock market liked it. Comment... Question: What is your favourite Mexican food? Asked by Albi (200.68.142.x) on April 10 2018, 7:58pm Reply on April 10 2018, 11:26pm: Hmm I really like all Mexican food, but I guess I'm loyal towards the stuff from Sonora and Baja. Some Mexico City style places are good too. As far as dishes go, hmm, so many choices. Chilaquiles are good, and I love tacos. But really anything with some rice and beans is great. Comment... Question: Here is the video captured by professional cameras: youtube.com/watch?v=za0qXbofvc0 Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on April 7 2018, 9:15am Reply on April 7 2018, 10:03pm: Drugs? Comment... Question: Did you see what your boy, Conor McGregor, did yesterday? Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on April 6 2018, 2:45pm Reply on April 6 2018, 7:16pm: Of course not, but I just googled it. Comment... Question: FM pirate radio using Winamp since 1997. Where can I find solid help - programers - to re-open old open source plugins to make Winamp interact with a modern website ? See our tool wich is in progress at the moment, a mix of two plugins. Thank you so much. fieldmice.free.fr/mulot.htm Asked by Radio Mulot (88.190.3.x) on April 6 2018, 5:12am Reply on April 6 2018, 7:16pm: I dunno Comment... Question: Is there anything out there you're aware of that is similar to WASTE but more actively maintained? (Do you use WASTE with your friends still?) Asked by Will (50.84.190.x) on April 5 2018, 2:56pm Reply on April 5 2018, 4:08pm: Not that I'm aware of, and I don't use WASTE anymore sadly, no friends. Comment... Question: Hi. I'm Italian romantic songwriter, Reaper users and Musicoin ambassador. Do you like to be interviewed about music and blockchain? tks a lot Lorenzo Asked by Lorenzo (78.241.24.x) on April 5 2018, 11:00am Reply on April 5 2018, 1:31pm: No thank you! Comment... Question: What are you thoughts on Ross Ulbricht and his whole situation (assuming you're familiar with it)? Asked by brainpeach (69.120.228.x) on April 5 2018, 3:36am Reply on April 5 2018, 1:32pm: I don't know much about it, other than having read that 3-part Wired piece a few years ago (yow, 3 years), and the recent headlines. Comment... Question: Do you use MIDI ? If so, what for specifically ? Asked by wasereb4 (87.123.192.x) on April 4 2018, 2:03am Reply on April 4 2018, 2:30am: I don't use the MIDI wire protocol (e.g. 5 pin DIN cables) except when testing various things. USB MIDI I use for controllers for my live performance super8 setup. I rarely use virtual instruments in my compositions these days, though sometimes. Comment... Question: Have you ever had a disagreement with a coworker on a project that escalated to a personal level and/or got loud? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on April 4 2018, 1:23am Reply on April 4 2018, 1:28am (edited at April 4 2018, 1:29am): I don't think so. I've definitely found some (most?) people difficult to work with in general, but I don't think it was ever about a particular instance (which is usually pretty recoverable if both parties are reasonable and/or don't take things too seriously). In any case it hasn't gotten loud that I can recall... Comment... Question: Do you currently have a coding 'side project' ? Asked by wasereb4 (87.123.192.x) on April 3 2018, 9:36pm Reply on April 4 2018, 1:17am: Lots of little ones, one would probably be the thing that makes reaper on linux work. Comment... Question: Rubber Band Audio: So that means that STL is allowed in REAPER now? How's the Intel implementation? Asked by Gio (79.130.176.x) on April 3 2018, 1:05pm Reply on April 3 2018, 3:10pm: Only for rubberband.dll/dylib/.so. No idea. Comment... Question: Did working on Linux port helped you make Win or Mac version of Reaper better? Asked by Dali (207.253.54.x) on April 3 2018, 12:22pm Reply on April 3 2018, 3:10pm: Yes definitely. Comment... Question: Is it true that you licensed Rubber Band Audio for ReaSamplomatic but decided not to use it because of the added CPU cost? Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on April 3 2018, 9:13am Reply on April 3 2018, 12:18pm: We licensed it and use it as a pitch shift/timestretch engine, however RS5k only does resampling, not pitch shifting. Comment... Question: You said you used Vegas & probably Ardour. Since, you are a developer of REAPER. Don't you use other DAWs, just to take ideas, features & tools from them? So that REAPER can give more or as much as other DAWs give? I guess, every software development companies do this, with their rival softwares. Asked by Curiosity (117.222.220.x) on April 1 2018, 2:08pm Reply on April 1 2018, 2:16pm: Nah, but there's no shortage of other people asking for features that they've used elsewhere. Most of my process is just making things I want to use, and using them. Using other DAWs would be tedious work. Comment... Question: If you weren't a developer of REAPER. And if REAPER was never invented. Then which DAW you were using now? (Just being curious :P) Asked by Curiosity (117.222.220.x) on March 31 2018, 2:44pm Reply on March 31 2018, 9:06pm (edited at March 31 2018, 9:07pm): Before I used REAPER the last thing I used was Vegas.. so maybe Acid Pro 7 or something? But that's been 12+ years so really I have no idea. Ardour? Comment... Question: How old was you when you learned programming the first time? Asked by Milss (77.20.159.x) on March 30 2018, 11:02pm Reply on March 30 2018, 11:04pm: BASIC on my older brothers' Atari 800XL when I was maybe 8 or so? Comment...
