Question:
Do you normally get stressed changing code that is working but needs to adapt for another feature or performance? Like with fear of breaking another thing

Reply on February 7 2025, 12:49am:
If the complexity is high I try to do a thorough analysis, with tests, and then have those changes tested for a long period of time before release release. Of course, the complexity sometimes ends up being higher than I anticipated lol.

I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but I liked David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries and Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith.

Question:
This question has been on my mind for a long time. I’ve asked everyone, but no one has given me an answer: Why doesn’t ReaEQ have 24 dB/octave high-pass and low-pass filters?
Asked by Igor (138.186.221.x) on February 6 2025, 7:05am
Reply on February 6 2025, 2:40pm:
Probably would require more complex filters than reaeq has.

When do you go to bed and do you have a time when you cut off all caffeine ?

Question:
Hi. How about to make a modern issue tracker (not the forum one) instead of randomly looking at bug reports and feature requests forum posts? so people would dive into major sections,then deeper and deeper, look for issue and post new if not found. So you can also overview specific section/category when developing something. That would make cockos forum much cleaner. Maybe we can script UI to make this possible directly from reaper (like, select category, send issue and all the stuff using only reascript)?

tbh not sure it would be any better; the real request is here is to have someone spend a lot of time tracking and triaging issues, but whether they did that via the forum or a modern issue tracker wouldn't really make that big of a diff.

Question:
Just curious and maybe you've been asked this before, why Reaper/Cockos doesn't have an official YT channel/social media accounts? IK that technically Reaper mania is part of Cockos (but because of the name, most people don't realize it) but there you only get tutorials (which is awesome) but there are no official coverage of new features (other than release notes), artists features, community showcase, bts etc. on YT/social media.

How do LV2 Atoms work? I am trying to send a filename from the host to an LV2 plugin, but I can make neither head not tail of it. ELI5?

Reply on January 28 2025, 7:43am:
Over an atom port? there's a lot that can go wrong, if you're writing the host you probably want to compile the plug-in in question and step into it to see where it fails...

Question:
Hello, I'm having fun with a sample of some very loud/compressed electronic music. When I play it in Reaper, the master level is almost all the time at -0.1, as it should be. But if I pitch the sample down 2 semitones (and do nothing else), then it's clipping at +5.8dB. What's going on exactly?
Asked by Flupsion (31.37.8.x) on January 27 2025, 8:47am
Reply on January 28 2025, 7:41am:
Does the LUFS or RMS power change substantially? Anyway, timestretch/pitchshift is very much nonlinear so this isn't entirely unexpected.

Question:
What are your opinions about Smart Rings? They look more comfortable than smart bands and much more comfortable than smartwatches. You can literally sleep comfortably with wearing smart rings on your fingers and it tracks all your health stuffs including sleep quality. Seems like interesting thing which may replace at least smart bands (if not smartwatches) in future?

haven't tried them, but I don't mind sleeping in my old fenix 5 watch. having a nylon band helps.
