Question: RE: UWP MIDI wrapper missing get device ID. I'm sure mr. Stammen will include it if an issue is opened on github. Ehehe. :)

Question: Should people worry when you move to STL? Engineering wise, what's left to be done in your software ecosystem?

Question: Are we gonna see build-in animations in LICE/skinning engine someday? Why (technically speaking) you avoid vector graphics in REAPER? CPU usage can be one thing, other... Thanks! Have so much fun with WDL. :)

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?
Asked by Gio (79.130.175.x) on April 11 2017, 3:31pm
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.

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?
Asked by Gio (94.70.2.x) on April 11 2017, 3:18pm
Reply on April 12 2017, 1:38am:
    There's all kind of stuff in there.

Question: Here's a nice read, hopefully. How to utilize UWP MIDI improvements in W10 with a win32 wrapper API: tinyurl.com/mmfxcqe. Actual wrapper on github: tinyurl.com/he8k89b
Asked by EvilDragon (141.136.235.x) on April 10 2017, 3:54pm
Reply on April 12 2017, 1:38am:
    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...

Question: Is Reaper also the "backend" for another software? A subscriber of Reaper and a fan of yours, I want that software too if so. I hope you let me know, and Thank you sir

Asked by Tinny (213.191.138.x) on April 9 2017, 8:22pm
Reply on April 9 2017, 8:46pm:
    Probably. Or maybe we'll make a better language for it that compiles to the same data structure...

Question: Have you ever suffered from prolonged burn out (weeks or more)? If so, how did you cope? What helped?

Reply on April 9 2017, 8:07pm:
    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.

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.

    Anywhere from 10:30pm to 12:30am, generally.
