Question: You should place somewhere (probably on the box)... REAPER the epitome of Win32 programming. Does it bother you that some people do not understand the superiority of REAPER?

Reply on April 12 2017, 1:37am:

Hah, I'm not sure if win32 is something to aspire be the epitome of... I have no qualms about superiority/perceived superiority of REAPER, I just like to use it myself, it's treated me well. Comment...

Question: Why REAPER has reached 12MB!? Actual code or C++ bloat? Hey, static linking is not an excuse. I hear DOOM4 is ~100MB executable, Chrome is a mammoth, what's wrong with C++, is it concerning?

Ah yeah, hopefully we can include that wrapper at some point. The wrapper is missing a few things though, like the ability to get device IDs... Comment...

Hmm nothing too long, but sometimes I'll take a step back and do boring housekeeping work for a while. Or mix it up otherwise. +++ath. Comment...

Question: Is there any cost to having a load of dummy tracks in a Reaper project? If tracks are deeply nested in folders, is it worth routing the child tracks directly to the parent buss instead of allowing them to trickle down through the folder structure?
Asked by fmap (99.232.115.x) on April 8 2017, 1:04am
Reply on April 8 2017, 2:21am:

A small cost but not huge. Though if the project is very minimal, the cost might be comparatively large, but once you have a real world project the cost is pretty reasonable. As far as track organization, I'd figure out what works best for you. Comment...

Question: I also really like "03 dont tell me." Your off-pitched vocals hurt your songs though. Are you against slightly tuning the vocals? I just listened to the album and tracks 3 and 4 are really good. Track 5 is not bad. I could listen to these melo songs for hours while surfing the Internet. You should either take your vocals seriously or just upload your projec
