Do you have some strategies for how you develop to prevent yourself from "painting yourself into the corner" codewise? Or is it something you do intuitively nowadays with so much experience?

Yeah, that's great. I can only imagine how complex it can get sometimes. I bet putting out the releases is at least a little nerve wracking when handling for difficult problems is added. I am really impressed just how much backward compatibility you guys must have been carrying around. And how everything is still so snappy despite all that!

heh that makes me less likely to want to port it by hand, reading llm-generated code is often tedious, so often the intent of code is not obvious...

hah ok - well I don't use Docker either, but it seems to be essentially a more robust "chroot"-type system, where you can isolate a bunch of processes and filesystems into the docker, to avoid having to change things system-wide. so it's sort of half way between running everything on the server, and running virtual machines on the server.

- Posted by Andrey (185.220.x.y) on August 22 2026, 10:32pm in 8243:
I agree. Thanks for the info, it was interesting.
- Posted by Justin on August 22 2026, 2:21pm in 8243:
The biggest advantage of 24-bit of 16-bit is that you don't have to worry about getting the gain levels as right... if you record 16-bit and carefully get the levels right, you'd probably never run into issues as your room's noise floor is probably way above -90dB anyway?
- Posted by Mespotine (37.4.x.y) on August 22 2026, 2:01pm in 8243:
It should be lossless, but you'll loose possibilities in the postproduction/mixing process when working with fx like compressor. So best is to stay with 24bit or higher for vocals, unless it's just for quick demo purposes. But even then, you might like the demo and would like to use it further and regret, you recorded it only in 16 bit.
- Posted by Mespotine (37.4.x.y) on August 22 2026, 1:54pm in 8241:
Got it. Will add it to my docs. Thnx :)

@Andrey If the interface is 24(+) bit capable why would you record in 16 bit?
- Posted by Andrey (192.42.x.y) on August 21 2026, 7:20pm in 8243:
Hmm, and if the interface is 24-bit or even 32-bit float, but we record vocals in 16-bit, will there be losses when converting 16->64->16?
- Posted by Justin on August 21 2026, 11:42am in 8243:
either built-in audio hardware or USB etc, yeah. It could be 24-bit or 16-bit, or sometimes 32-bit float if very modern.
- Posted by Andrey (194.32.x.y) on August 21 2026, 7:17am in 8243:
Is the 24‑bit interface essentially any sound card or the audio controller built into the system board that supports 24‑bit recording?
- Posted by Justin on August 21 2026, 3:05am in 8243:
It comes in from the interface at 16-24 bit or (32bit float), then is converted to 64 bit float, then converted down to 24-bit integer. Note that if the interface is 24-bit, then the conversion from 24->64->24 is lossless.
- Posted by Andrey (192.42.x.y) on August 21 2026, 12:41am in 8243:
One more question. When we record, for example, vocals with a microphone and the recording option is set to 24‑bit, does the file immediately become 24‑bit, or does it first have the internal processing value of 32‑bit float, and then it’s downsampled to 24‑bit?
- Posted by Justin on August 20 2026, 11:15am in 8243:
decoded into PCM (64-bit floating point samples), yes. Not to .WAV (which is a file format) specifically.
- Posted by Andrey (192.76.x.y) on August 20 2026, 4:48am in 8243:
It’s decoded into WAV on the fly, and when rendering the project, it’s encoded from WAV into MP3, right?
- Posted by Justin on August 16 2026, 12:55pm in 8241:
yep, assuming its the same name

Also, I was able to make the resampling change on the fly, but with a little pop/short drop-out (as it clears and recalculates) which I am okay with.
- Posted by Oversampling (102.176.x.y) on August 11 2026, 6:29pm in 8236:
Thank you so much. I'm done now. I now understand why people who don't use JUCE avoid adding oversampling control to their plugins, it is no joke implementing it. You've been very helpful. ;)

they wouldn't as I know, they're using the domain internally for slop-driven development.
- Posted by Justin on July 22 2026, 5:32pm in 8213:
You still need to use global hooks because there are dozens windows we don't control (e.g., file browsing windows), and on top of that there are hundreds of REAPER-native windows that would need to get hooked. Then there's dealing with drawing menus and menubars etc. But yeah maybe we should do that.
- Posted by Justin on July 22 2026, 5:29pm in 8220:
it would be fine to do it, not that hard, just not worth the trouble imo. you can use r8brain-free if you want to do it yourself, or the WDL_Resampler which has lower latency and different tradeoffs/modes.
- Posted by Oversampling (102.176.x.y) on July 22 2026, 2:28pm in 8220:
For instance, since you have done it at the DAW level, if you were to implement it in ReaComp from scratch, per your assessment, that's insane without some dependency??
- Posted by Oversampling (102.176.x.y) on July 22 2026, 2:25pm in 8220:
So in a nutshell, it is too much/difficult to do at the plugin level from scratch and own code, right? you once talked about using your built-in SRC algorithms to do it?
- Posted by Rob Kor (46.122.x.y) on July 21 2026, 9:52am in 8213:
Modifying REAPER externally is "messy" only because it requires global hooks and subclassing. If implemented natively, devs already control the WndProc, so no subclassing is needed—making it vastly cleaner. Since MS won't fix Win32, why not add a native dark mode as an "Experimental/Not recommended" UI tweak? Let users choose between strict architectural purity and eye strain.

hooking/subclassing all windows, etc. I remember there were some REAPER bugs users reported which only manifested when the plug-in was installed... things we could work around, for sure, but it's all just a mess. Not implementing it is a bit of a protest against MS's handling of this...

Hi, it's @Signalsmith - actually the open-source Stretch doesn't have an edge over the Elastique that's already in there. The low-latency one (10ms for quality, 5ms for most things) is a separate closed-source project which we're licensing out. Just wanted to avoid any crossed wires!

Looked a bit deeper into it. The size I get by get_config_var is 16. size of uint64_t is 8. Tried to see if there are types with a size of 16, but no success. when not checking the type size I do get the proper valkue as it is in the ini file. Am I missing something here?

This is a cool one to check out: github.com/Signalsmith-Audio/signa...- you probably are already aware of Geraint Luff, but recently he has implemented his algorithms in some excellent plugins, such as HyperTune by PolychomeDSP, that are excellent for both quality and low latency polyphonic pitch shifting/transposing. It's faster and higher quality than all other options currently available I've tried lately. Definitely would be great to see in Reaper!

Possibly that you need to download and install the correct C++ Redists for the plugin to run. It's often the case that the plugin you installed needs an older version, or a newer version, than you already have installed on your computer. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/wind...

Yes, it's the Windows system. The core issue here is that most users never encounter this problem, but some people do run into it. In one case, the process gets stuck at Scanning MIDI output devices..., while other users see a different on-screen prompt. Do you think this is a problem with Windows itself, or an issue caused by third-party software — such as antivirus programs installed on the computer, or other installed applications?

Oh wow, eye-opener, I think I found it. The sample rate change retriggered the @slider. Stopping playback and using the plugin oversampling feature caused the @slider to retrigger and gave the correct values, that's why they null. Thanks so much. Will keep it in my notes.

I have a feeling it may have to do with it be being a very optimized piece of software. While I am not a developer myself of Reaper. Coming from a developer perspective and software engineering in general. I am very confident that Reaper is heavily tested and refactored in order to meet efficiency margins. But again, that's my speculation. But regardless, Reaper is a very solid piece of software.

your story about debugging the chromebook made me wonder - how is your google-fu these days now that everything is ai generated blogspam? what's the best way to find real, useful material on the internet still? I saw Jon Gruber from daringfireball (creator of markdown) giving a strong endorsement for Kagi, which is a paid search engine. not been desperate enough to try it yet.

These guys just want to make money. They'll be more interested in selling what they've discovered than keeping it for themselves.

According to The Banality of Evil, them being human is far worse than monsters. You shouldn't see everything in such an overly positive light.

Yeah, I agree. Lol

You shouldn't see everything in such a negative light. The leaders of Silicon Valley aren't monsters.

Those are 100% ethics-driven, trustworthy people. And, should such a claim ever become real, they would gladly share this longevity pill with all of Humanity for free, with no slavery involved. Oh, and did you hear that, thanks to AI, we won't have to work anymore because we'll all have Universal Basic Income? Oh, my sweet Summer child.

Every Silicon Valley tech leader claims that we will be able to live to at least 150 years old before 2035.

"Once superintelligence is here and allows us to live to be 150", that's a good one :) If AGI ever happens (and I doubt it ever will), you can be sure than it won't be used to improve humankind in any way, shape, or form. As to living to be 150, first, won't happen; second, who would want that?; and third, none of us will be rich enough to pay for longer life.

Thanks so much. I now understand.

ah sorry yes, I was mistaken. you can use 0 (the default, the same as not setting it) which means "can produce output at any time", or -1 which will auto-detect silence.

The difference between 0 -1 -2 and not writing it all is confusing me. If you could explain on the context of high Q and delays vs plugins that simple like only a gain knob. I want to know when to ignore writing ext-tail-size and when to use -1 0 or -2
- Posted by ext-tail-size-1Â (154.161.x.y) on June 1 2026, 6:37pm in 8165:
Also, what happens when ext-tail-size-1Â is not written in the code at all? Is that the same as setting it to 0.
- Posted by ext-tail-size-1Â (154.161.x.y) on June 1 2026, 6:27pm in 8165:
I saw the ff in the manual and I thought -1 means it will detect the tail by itself, but u just said -1 means no tail. "If set to -1, REAPER will use automatic output silence detection and let plug-in state settle. If set to -2, then REAPER will assume the plug-in has no tail and no inter-sample state." So I guess I shouldn't use it all even in plugin with high Q Factor and even in delay plugins ???

Not sure if robert is trolling, but I think once the AI bubble is popped and the freemium models aren't subsidised anymore, people weigh actually learning something themselves against the cost of tokens per prompt. Sad that the motivation doesn't seem to come intrinsically, but I bet the madness doesn't hold on for too long anymore.

i guess the ai also can't know exactly how to implement this or that because choices have to be made. part of why i like repaer so much is because of the millions of choices (because devs are users) that make the program nice to use. jokingly id say that justin is not a developper for reaper but a "maintainer" of a tool and the "context" is huge (is it annoying to use, etc). i'm being vague sorry
