Question: What are your thoughts about Logic's huge 10.5 update? Do you and Schwa ever talk about keeping up with the competition? You seem to be a competive guy, based on your running/biking activities, so do you ever feel pressure to add similar features to keep REAPER competitive in the marketplace? Don't you dare give me a "meh" answer!

    Running and bicycling is not a competitive thing for me, they are things I enjoy. Same for REAPER.

Reply on May 14 2020, 1:16pm:
    It wasn't, the underlying frameworks were somewhat but not most of it. I didn't have enough to do with it to be proud of it (I was off fucking around with other things mostly).

Question: Whistle blowers such as julian assange or edward snowden>are they heroes or villains?
Asked by 2020 (2.26.240.x) on May 7 2020, 10:40am
Reply on May 7 2020, 4:17pm (edited at May 7 2020, 4:18pm):
    Assange is totally a villain, but at the same time he almost certainly deserve protection as it's very hard to argue that wikileaks was not in effect a press organization.

    As far Snowden goes, hero. In an ideal world he would be able to face the consequences of his actions (technically breaking of laws) and be able to defend himself in a fair trial... but lord knows that wouldn't happen in this country in the last 20 years.

Reply on May 6 2020, 7:15pm:
    The terrible MIDI-ticks-to-audio-sample rounding code from 2008 that has the stupid +0.5+0.000001 constant in there. Oh you said *most* proud of? Ah that's harder to answer... I dunno, there are a thousand things in there that I'm slightly proud of, but nothing jumps out.

Question: Why don't you make electronic music? Just buy Komplete Ultimate and imo, you don't need anything else. Also you can experiment mixing your rock/pop music genre with electronic instruments as I do (though all my instruments, even the rock/pop one, are electronic, and it actually sounds out of the world. Have you ever heard guitar in a edm/trance music? That's what I do, lol. Experimenting different different stuffs until it sounds good.

Question: Did you get a chance to watch the latest Mr. Robot series? I liked it - as it was more like season 1. But, who the f@ck is the real Elliot??? Do you know? I am lost HaHa - I Probably need to watch it all again, unless you know and can save me the time ;).. But, new Killing Eve is on! Love British dark comedy ;). Do you have a favourite British show? Like say-Red Dwarf, Black Mirror or Fawlty Towers etc...

    I did enjoy Mr Robot, though the first and second seasons I thought were my favorite. Favorite British shows include W1A and The Thick of It. Black Mirror is great too. Detectorists was also really nice.

Question: Do you enjoy making your own JSFX?.Even in secret like - for personal/close family use only, not for Rea community? I am really enjoying General Dynamics and that Spectral Hold FX you did - Blooming great, best yet ;).- Or do you just, say, meh!..''they are alright, want to add a FR or something more important instead like'' Also, are you mates, acquaintances or affiliated with the guy from MeldaProductions? You guys are both great at what you do and in the same generation gap hey? Their new Superlooper seems great and x3 prettier ;)
Asked by Stargirl (107.181.189.x) on May 2 2020, 1:18pm
Reply on May 3 2020, 2:05am (edited at May 3 2020, 2:07am):
    I do enjoy using the JSFX I make, but if I make it and it's useful then I try to include it w/ REAPER. I email routinely with Melda (compatibility etc), I know they use REAPER so maybe super8 had some influence on MSuperlooper, but you'd have to ask them. It's been fun adapting super8 for grid-based use (project BPM adapting, project sync, etc) vs the freeform original use for live improv...
