    @Gio When I'm not lazy and want to make sure about typing mistakes I type my question in a text editor and paste it here. :P But agreed, would appreciate multi-line text input too. @Justin: do *you* have multi-line input? same means for all I'd say. :P

    Explaining to a DAW, how my drumline shall sound(aka prompt engineering) will always be longer than playing and recording it via a DAW. AI can generate some music but not exactly what ai have in my head. The more precise it shall generate my music the worse AI gets. This will never be solved by AI-companies.

    @JH Music : From wherever you learn, just do lots of revision. Speaking from my experience. Revision is must for learning. Without it, you can't learn anything properly no matter from where you learn.

    I see your point, thanks. It would be nice if you allowed multi-line text input for Qs/Comments, probably would help a little bit tracking spelling mistakes before submission... Always, surprised :(

    Appreciate the answer Justin, I understand I was quite broad, but I'll check out those VST3 examples. The thing about growing up "after the internet was made" is that we all see the end results of years of development and creation, but we didn't really get to participate in the process of it coming together so it feels a lot like reverse engineering. Huge fan of yours, thank you always!

    Certainly there are benefits for app stores, not sure if those outweight the drawbacks. It's amazing how Cockos manages to provide a first-class experience (for user/developers/etc) in this day and age.

    perhaps- but in that video the point they actually raise is logic & language descriptions appears flawed..? (its a bit like unipolar v bipolar waveforms...1 makes sense,the other does not?) ((how can we have half of a whole!))

    app stores in principle could be good, but in practice they are ruined by those running them. IMO obvs.

    I get it Justin but for me this is a huge problem: every single executable I produce is marked as a virus by microsoft defender. I will run a small experiment with an app written with STL instead of efficient WDL and if I get the same outcome I will give up the microsoft ecosystem completely. At that point it would be pointless... a waste of valuable time... It looks to me that microsoft defender tries to disappoint at every opportunity so you eventually go to their app-store. It's not going to happen.

    No, that's multiplication. Multiplication by a value more than 1 will increase the magnitude, and multiplying by a value less than 1 will decrease the magntiude...

  • Posted by 2024 (86.185.121.x) on March 9 2024, 12:52am in 7103:
    that would be subtraction though right? isnt multiplying an additive thing? and would you also consider 0 a non number? ta

    Some of my websites use more javascript, e.g. my main blog uses it for loading more posts, and for doing more mp3 playback stuff. reaper.fm is mostly static and has only the occasional javascript use.

    So you mean, most of the elements in your website is made only with HTML & CSS and only rare javascript usage? All your other websites are made with only HTML & CSS? What about reaper.fm? I like it very much, it feels so simplistic and to-the-point. Is it possible to make reaper.fm like website just with HTML & CSS?

    Which feature did surprise you the most as being much more helpful to you than you initially thought?

  • Posted by Justin on February 20 2024, 4:19pm in 7084:
    and I think the answer depends a lot on the context, mobile vs desktop is a big one. I'd say they do, for desktop, which is where my experience is. but I have no idea on mobile. the design principles as you describe them may be a bit minimal, there was also "let people do lots of useful things" and a bunch of others, too...

  • Posted by Eye of the Kaiser Bun (99.231.72.x) on February 20 2024, 2:18am in 7080:
    @2024, it is better to have a well thought out disposal system than just leaving things out to decompose. This is a company putting out a product with their brand, whether it is gratis is incidental. Reaplugs are also onboard Reaper as stock. If they are a hassle to maintain, then do away with them. Reaplugs are not bad, but 8 years is a tad ripe and it is not an insult if some of us care enough to say something. The main dev does as he likes, but not all decisions are a good look.

    It will be published for both iOS and Android simultaneously. It's not so much a question about the mobile space, but rather a question about "do you think people still value qualities nowadays hat people valued back then" :)

    @2024, You take this so personal and have a complex. If someone runs a business, customers can have their say too. Maybe he can't do things now, but doesn't mean things can't be part of a roadmap. A bad idea today can be a good one tomorrow. But whatever.

    this IS justins space- justins ideas,inventions & creations- if they dont feel like doing stuff- they are not bound by any agreements to do so..they said no & we guess no means no. ;) might be a shitty attitude if we look at it like shit..but he probably does not? he seems to have moved on. lol =great idea! the digital sea is vast- much to explore!

    I guess you never attended Woodstock '99 when overflowing portapotties and rivers of sewage covered the whole venue. Some called themselves 'Mud People' and slid through the river, but that was no mud. There was a nice outbreak of trenchmouth. Not so good for nature either. I get it, some still use Digital Fish Phones, which came out in '03. Or Sonic Foundry is still their main DAW. You want to keep it vintage.

    lol-we stand under no man,woman or child as they are our equals..... in nature there is no flushing system..it just organically decomposes over time... noone is stopping you making an emulation are they?- what do you feel actually needs "updating" with reaplugs anyway? ui? or?

    I don't think 'Cholo is forcing anyone, rather just saying to take pride. Not a bad thing message. There are so many people making cool plugins for Reaper on forums, it just needs JF's smiling image on one and the label, "Justin's Own". Could Justin not outsource the stuff he does not like and do what he likes, or is that wishful thinking?

    @The True Cholo - we cannot force others to bend to "our will" - isnt it better if justin does what comes from the heart center? ( we would also have liked updates but the reality is - if it works it works..if not,move on,or make something that does work for you?)

    That is stinkin' thinkin' homes. It came from you, so you need to have pride in everything you make. You got to find out what makes it "meh" and turn it into, "Yaay!!!" Video tutorials and books show and demo these plugins, so people are watching and listening. Charge money, homes. People will pay. I buy your DAW and I buy plugins. But you need to take pride in everything you make. Leave no child neglected, bro.

    In school we read "Night" by Elie Wiesel, "Chernowitz!" by Fran Arrick, The Diary of Anne Frank, and I have "Man's Search for Meaning" by Victor Frankl.

    Yeah pretty much. For the overall installation package of each BSD derivative, it's pretty much the same for all. Userspace binaries and kernel features will vary depending on which derivative you may go with. And Linux is very cool. It's my goto kernel for building out a system.

    having both senses we use them both being able to...its quite difficult to go with modern "loudness" scales without calibrated loud speakers & introducing some kind of distortions we find..(pleasing or not) -12lufs can sound a bit crunchy with acoustic guitars & some stringed instruments & gauging loudness can be more to the eyes than ears sometimes, but not all...its a tricky balancing act between loudness over 'acceptable' distortions ioo...ta.

    So audioMasterAutomate event call only comes from UI thread right?

  • Posted by Justin on January 31 2024, 3:12am in 7064:
    No, audioMasterAutomate is how the plug-in notifies you that the parameter is being changed by its UI. The plug-in (in VST2 at least) is responsible for updating its internal state.

    Hey sorry. Took some time for me to find it, here is the link. He called it meta music

    Thank you so much for the quick clarification Justin, I really appreciate it. I finally understood your perspective and it gives me peace of mind to know that it was your hardwork that led to sucess of WINAMP. Ultimately it is execution that matters the most coz as they say, Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless! Like you Justin, Thanks again!

    ahh yes got it...maybe will see how they handle bit depths/ db & find the lowest volumes 1 can upload just out of curiousities... cheers!

    No idea! Vandals, probably.

    What's your theory on why someone would have made that edit? Does the story seem more appealing when the hacker kid was a flunkie in school?

    Writing the registry is more of a hassle than anything heh. There's really no reason for us to.

    What "sacrifices" did you have to make to avoid writing in the registry? Does it make Reaper more annoying to program for Windows but you still prefer the flexibility?

    Thank you

    It's not worth a poll. People use old versions of software that support it. People also use the 32-bit Windows version of REAPER, even though the perception is that we all use 64-bit.

  • Posted by 2024 (31.54.122.x) on January 12 2024, 12:49pm in 7040:
    we used to use quite regula...but not even sure what other programs actually support it these days....is worth a forum poll to find out?

    Interesting, I didn't know that. Works like a charm :-)

    according to "qauntum theorists" every electron can be everywhere & nowhere @ the same "time"..as time is a human construct..1 soon realizes that each cell of their body is quantum/energy...which appears to be "everywhere & nowhere" all at any measurable/observable moment..IF! each cell is this (we have trillions per body) 1 can then assume infinite states of mind? yes?

  • Posted by User (185.239.173.x) on January 8 2024, 3:10pm in 7032:
    That's provided the mind is infinite, but is it? I'm not sure. And is infinity of expression tantamount to infinity of memory?

  • Posted by 2024 (109.158.137.x) on January 7 2024, 10:45pm in 7032:
    hmmm.. an infinite mind is not bound to limited concepts ! human expression CAN be infinite IF allowed to be so? no? 🧪

  • Posted by User (107.181.177.x) on January 7 2024, 12:51pm in 7032:
    There must be reason why people tend to ascribe different meanings to the same lexeme, because the phenomenon isn't unique to any particular language. For example because there's a finite number of lexemes that a human being is able to keep in their memory

  • Posted by 2024 (109.158.137.x) on January 6 2024, 4:41pm in 7032:
    @user - 1 meaning or definition is enough..is it not? " context" is not a substitute for defining multiple meanings... a tree is a tree.. a spade a spade...if there are to be more than 1 meaning for any word, then FIND a new description to keep describing simple... simples? LOL we are still able to invent new words,new descriptions and NOT be bound or limited to what is already in place?

  • Posted by User (92.38.148.x) on January 5 2024, 8:59pm in 7030:
    Exactly

  • Posted by User (92.38.148.x) on January 5 2024, 8:56pm in 7032:
    it's not confusing because there's usually context, and if the familiar meaning doesn't fit it chances are the word means something else

  • Posted by 2024 (109.158.137.x) on January 5 2024, 7:38pm in 7032:
    lol= confused ✔ case considered closed.....thanx! = (we write our own language/words and definitions these days!)

    I'm sure FL Studio has as much functionality if not more, just different. e.g. more instruments

  • Posted by Justin on January 5 2024, 12:06pm in 7032:
    (though in the last case, the first version is pronounced differently so...)

  • Posted by Justin on January 5 2024, 12:05pm in 7032:
    Or "bow" and "bow" and "bow" which can be a tied piece of ribbon, the front of a ship, or an motion done by a human.

  • Posted by Justin on January 5 2024, 12:04pm in 7032:
    that example is more or less the same meaning "a place of relative safety" or whatnot. How about "literally" which now means both "not figuratively" and "figuratively"? hah
