Question: Do you think Audacity crossed the line with their new privacy policy or is the public overreacting? its here if you haven't seen it archive.fo/d3LBR

Reply on July 4 2021, 11:54pm (edited at July 5 2021, 9:52pm):
    What's the line, anyway? I dunno. Sharing minidumps is the part that would bother me, you never know what personal information could end up in those? Edit: if it's just stack traces, fine... if it's a partial memory dump that's a line crossed, for me. That Audacity backlash feels like an overreaction to me.

Question: Have you ever thought of getting an ecolabel for Reaper? Not as bragging, but to remind the competition that low cpu usage and generally good software with tight code can be a factor in terms of CO2 Emissions.

Question: Have you ever considered writing an operating system? It would be a massive project, expensive in both time and money. And history suggests that you’d ultimately fail. But I fall asleep every night fantasying about an OS that behaves just like Reaper.

Question: Hey Justin! I wanted to say/ask 3 things. 1 thanks so much for making the greatest DAW of all time. 2 what are your thoughts and opinions on cryptocurrency? Do you personally own any? 3 Could you go on "The Lex Fridman Podcast", I think it be a great episode with you on it!

    1) thanks for the kind words! 2) I do not own any cryptocurrencies and I think in general they are a solution in search of a problem (other than being perfect for ransomware etc) and are an environmental disaster. and 3) maybe?

Question: Hope your day is great. So, I made an app to play all the songs in our live set list using your web interface. ( in javascript ) It works a treat. That said , reaper sends out the relevant midi info to another PC using software called Gig Performer ? Have you ever heard of this program ? It is equally brilliant just like reaper !

    Nice... I haven't heard of Gig Performer, no, will google it

Question: Okay, as you know that Windows 11 is going to release with a new MS Store. And they are done with UWP metro apps and just keep the normal .exe softwares. Will you add REAPER into their store? It will make REAPER even more popular than before because then lots of people will search for DAWs in their store. Right now, only FL Studio is there but their mobile version, not desktop. So yup, if you do this, REAPER would be the first major DAW to come there.

Reply on June 19 2021, 8:21pm:
    We're not really interested in putting REAPER on stores, it's better for us and our users to just be a separate download.
