Question: I was wondering if by any chance you would share the source from the reaper_cd.dll plugin extension? I could learn from it to use in the DDP marker editor to add a burning feature for DDP. Thanks, Wyatt

Question: Maybe a weird suggestion? In reaper.fm/videos.php, the video list is so long, especially the 3rd column (extreme right side). Is it possible to arrange them like we have in YouTube?

Question: Do you know the drum machine plugin - Sitala? It's awesome and works perfect in REAPER :D well, you can bundle this in your next v6 release, if you want. They are allowing developers to bundle it.

Question: Have you thought of uploading your REAPER projects so they could be sampled. Your stuff is a gold mine. You have a good clean organic sound but you refuse to add structure to your songs!
