    I'd probably start by writing some JSFX in REAPER :) It's a lot of fun and not much fuss.

Question: Why did Winamp have both a directsound and waveout output system even in the last year or two? That seems silly.

Reply on January 14 2017, 1:42pm:
    Why did it have both in the beginning? Some systems did better with one vs the other... Why did it have both in the end? Feature latch.

    That's pretty fancy, a level of flare I wouldn't expect.. I dig it! but doing that in JSFX is actually a lot easier than doing it elsewhere... e.g. my bigger graphical JSFX projects like super8 and General Dynamics, to write in C++ would be a huge pain, whereas in JSFX they are nice 1100 and 500 line (respectively) scripts... without flare. I guess super8 has a slight bit...

    Looking at the code now, heh those plug-ins are huge, 8000+ lines each... Pretty pretty though :)

Question: Hello! I have a simple question. I asked in a "request" - but no one answered. If we get more than 8M+ memory slots in ReaScripts(in JS we have options:maxmem=xyz(and 33M+ slots)

    *cough* REAPER requests like this aren't really appropriate here as they'd quickly overrun the place... but: 8M slots should be enough for anybody! (kidding) I think the default for ReaScripts should be something much larger, will look at making that the default.
