    it's compressed, so usually smaller than regular wav, but since you have 20 or 21 significant bits, you get more dynamic range

    Yeah, that's workaround I did for one smaller plugin, but for a plugin with huge size, it will mean making overly huge. I would have to result to reopening the plugin to get the correct size. Thanks.

    Yeah, that seems to be the workaround I did for one plugin, but for a plugin with huge size, it will mean making overly huge. I will let it be that way and reopen it to get the correct size

    that size is a bit of a hint anyway, tweak it until it behaves the way you want?

    the only thing the newer phones have that I covet is the satellite text message support, when out of range... but I would use it so rarely anyway. I also have a Garmin Fenix 5 from 2018 or 2019 which is on its second battery and I have a nice nylon band for it, and it's amazing having it still kicking it.

  • Posted by Asking (141.94.110.x) on August 29 2025, 1:04pm in 7806:
    Hardly a coincidence because it's only the example which is based on the latest release while the observation was made a while ago. Well, maybe the phenomenon (if it does have basis in reality) is limited to explicit bug reports posted in the BR sub-forum, at least this is what may be tracked and where it may be noticed.

  • Posted by Mespotine (185.142.181.x) on August 29 2025, 8:42am in 7806:
    In addition to that, making stats from one release's changelog is a too small samplesize. It could be a just a coincidence for this release.

  • Posted by Justin on August 29 2025, 12:55am in 7806:
    anyway the point was that the stats you gave need a lot more context. also a lot of feedback into updates comes from the high message count users contributing feedback to the pre-release cycle, often which doesn't end up referenced in the changelog because the update is a higher level one

  • Posted by Asking (37.59.18.x) on August 28 2025, 9:14pm in 7806:
    As far as the number of unaddressed BRs from such users is concerned my assumption is it would be low or 0, because the lower the message count the lower the probability of multiple bug reports from a user, unless all s/he does on the forum is report bugs

  • Posted by aombk (109.178.168.x) on August 28 2025, 6:26pm in 7803:
    ok! thanks for the feedback! here you go, a special version just for you :) onenightband.net/fortheimmediately...and i will admit, its not bad.

  • Posted by Justin on August 28 2025, 3:57pm in 7806:
    how many users are there on the forum with single/double digit message count? how many reports by each were unaddressed? lots of factors lol

  • Posted by Asking (141.94.171.x) on August 28 2025, 1:52pm in 7806:
    Some stats from the latest release: total addressed bug reports as per the change log - 26, BRs from users with single/double digit message count - 10, from users with a few hundred posts, mostly below 200 but all under 500 - 8, the share in the BRs total is 69%

  • Posted by Asking (141.94.171.x) on August 28 2025, 1:29pm in 7805:
    Thanks, great to know

    I might have a crack at writing a plugin to do it (I've written a few with JUCE). If it seems OK, I'll open source it, and publish something on the Reaper forum

  • Posted by Vincent Fliniaux (37.168.29.x) on August 8 2025, 3:21pm in 7773:
    Super interesting, I always thought the same about pure amplitude fade outs. It would be very innovative to be able to toggle between amplitude and frequency fades in Reaper 😁

    No offence, but pls why remove only the link, perhaps the question too? Others who read your answers to the questions here might find it confusing. But then others too would have appreciated it if the link was left alone as indicated by another user's comment above. But I also find it strange that you would name a software after Jesus but you wouldn't want to hear your president talk about Jesus. wow.

    yeah, sorry I get that. I thought I'd mention it here as it it's such a strange / peculiar thing and it's been posted by someone else in the wrong forum - so I thought it might be worth mentioning. Besides, it's a bug, and I'm sure it will become more prevalent as more webview plugins will get released, as seems to be trending lately.

    I'd say ditto Windows, I wouldn't say there's really any point in installing a 3rd party anti-virus these days because Windows defender is great.

    lol thanks for the vote of confidence. but if you think the original gnutella protocol is complex then I have some bad news for you.

    Gnutella protocol was not written by you Justin. This is far too complex to be written by a college undergraduate

    Can we call Windows interfaces for localized implementation? Because the current way of browsing files and folders is really (terrible). Or please provide an option.

    You she help Raphael Manfredi to develop GTK Gnutella. It's a pity I cannot code on such a level, but Gnutella nor P2P mustn't die.

    I think the Pepper assumption is based on a photo you posted right around the time of the initial gnutella release of you and Tom sitting in the floor with a hoodless desktop :)

    I think the knobs could be a bit more separated, it opens up with 7 unlabeled knobs in who knows what order and everytime I have to read the 7 tooltips again and again to remember what each does... a bit more friendlier design on that side would be nice, that's the only thing really, even the fade knobs to the sides and the gain on the top left like media items would clear a lot imo

    Oh, ok. Both are bands fronted by Michael Gira. Both are very cool but have different styles. I just thought you may have listened to them.

    I appreciate your honesty — and truly, I hope you recover quickly and fully. All the best.

  • Posted by Justin on May 27 2025, 8:54pm in 7694:
    cool, my pleasure. sorry if I'm a bit cranky in my replies, been dealing with an injury that's driving me a bit bonkers. :/

    I have to say — despite the tone, that video is excellent and genuinely helpful. Thanks for sharing it.

  • Posted by Justin on May 27 2025, 2:50pm in 7694:
    I'm sure you will be dismissive and say "yes I knew all of that" but in case it is helpful for anybody else: youtube.com/watch?v=vSBO_VC9q3E

  • Posted by Amadeu (148.63.140.x) on May 27 2025, 2:35pm in 7694:
    I understand. We clearly have different standards for what qualifies as usable. Thanks again for your time.

  • Posted by Justin on May 27 2025, 2:22pm in 7694:
    "metaphors are used to illustrate ideas" "retouch a photo using Excel" umm, I have to call bullshit on this. there is nothing constructive there. and honestly, the spectral edit functionality is actually pretty decent, but either you are being too snarky or you just didn't spend enough time with it.

  • Posted by argus (31.37.8.x) on May 27 2025, 1:55pm in 7694:
    thank you Amadeu for enabling others to improve their patience

  • Posted by Amadeu (148.63.140.x) on May 27 2025, 12:24pm in 7694:
    The difference is simple: metaphors are used to illustrate ideas, sarcasm is used to dismiss them. One contributes to the discussion, the other derails it. But I’m glad we agree on one thing: it’s definitely time for a feature bounty.

    Can't help myself ... complaining about someone being sarcastic when the response was "like trying to retouch a photo using Excel". People in glass houses. Time for that feature bounty.

  • Posted by Amadeu (148.63.140.x) on May 26 2025, 10:11pm in 7694:
    That would be a fantastic start. Thanks for the conversation — sarcastic or not, feedback is still free insight.

  • Posted by Justin on May 26 2025, 5:59pm in 7694:
    interesting idea, maybe we should start listening to user feedback /s ;)

  • Posted by Amadeu (148.63.140.x) on May 26 2025, 3:58pm in 7694:
    Understood. I’ll dig deeper — but just as a suggestion, if more users keep 'whining' about the UI, maybe it’s not whining, maybe it’s feedback. Reaper’s flexibility is great, but usability shouldn’t be a punishment.

  • Posted by Justin on May 26 2025, 1:31pm in 7694:
    it does have some realtime preview and the functionality is more there than you think (you can draw the edges etc), so I'd say spend some more time with it before you whine here. also don't whine here, see the note above.
