I think the only NIN album I've listened to since the 90s is Pretty Hate Machine (which holds up rather well!). Comment...

Question: Ah! I am still curious, after REAPER v5.99, what will you do. Because you are updating REAPER too fast. Maybe, after v5.99, there will be v5.99.1 or v5.991 XD

Plain win32 is one way... The learning curve is rough, though. A minimal example of this that we've open sourced is "SnapEase" (on cockos.com). 1 Comment...

There are some, but in general and IMO touch screens for editing suck. Comment...

Maybe it was filtering some HTML thing or something? anyway Comment...

Question: is in EEL2 something similar to string.gsub? and i was disappointed, that there's no simple concatenation in 1 line like (..) in Lua, for example single line in Lua: local box = "n" will be much cluttered in EEL2, isn't it? But i wanted only to ask, if you have

Question: I'm starting with C++ and am wondering about the best way to easily make useful, optimised, compatible (with different versions) GUIs in Windows?

Reply on June 19 2018, 12:20pm:

Hmm I dunno, I'd say: compatible, efficient, easy-to-write: choose at most 2... the way we do it is a bit of a pain... :/ Comment...

Question: Do you plan someday in future to improve work with strings in EEL2? it's a pain in comparison with Lua

Question: I use Linux Mint, but i wonder, what Linux distributive is the best/most efficient for REAPER and audio recording in general for you?

Reply on June 19 2018, 12:19pm:

I'd imagine they're all pretty similar? Just use a realtime kernel... Comment...

Question: Which programming language you love the best? And how many and which programming languages you use currently?
Asked by Programmer (59.92.95.x) on June 18 2018, 10:54am
Reply on June 18 2018, 4:30pm:

As far as languages I use regularly, C/C++, EEL2, and PHP are the most often used. Also Lua a bit, and occasional assembly. Writing JSFX and video processors in EEL2 is probably the most fun. ;) Comment...

Question: What do you think about recording at higher sample rates like 96 kHz vs. 44,1 kHz and could you please explain any advantages of higher sample rates?
Asked by Tobi (77.22.254.x) on June 14 2018, 10:42pm
Reply on June 15 2018, 2:20am:

I look at digitization of audio as if it were representing the analog signal exactly, as long as the frequencies are within the range of the nyquist frequency of the sample rate, not clipping, and high enough to not run into the noise floor... As such, I don’t think the sample rate matters much as long as it’s high enough to catch the frequencies of the thing being recorded. Comment...

Question: Have you been travelling again lately? If so, where?
