    Maybe when someone improves the Windows/OSX kernels to avoid DPC issues? Fully re-entrant kernels? Dunno...

Question: Why did Peter Pawloski start writing so many audio plugins for WinAMP? Wasn't that your specialty?

Reply on January 23 2013, 1:32pm:
    At a certain point I checked out of Winamp dev and did not a whole lot + took pictures + fucked off + maybe gnutella/waste and lasers too.

    I wouldn't mind having REAPER .999 in there, but 1.0+ aren't free...

Reply on January 23 2013, 1:31pm:
    Ummm.. I may come back to edit this if something funny happens... One time we tried to climb some rocks in Schwa's backyard, but it was too hot so instead we had some gin and tonics.

Question: I just want to thank the previous questioner for caring! Wait, that's not a question. Or is it?

Question: Do you think you'd do well in a google technical interview?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on January 21 2013, 7:12am
Reply on January 21 2013, 7:19pm:
    I don't know -- I have a friend whose skills I respect greatly, and apparently he didn't feel as though he did well in the interview. He works at Google now, though, so I really have no idea. I would think that I would feel like I did poorly, I guess?

Question: Have you ever written a full tutorial on AVS for Winamp?
Asked by Justin Gargano (98.250.83.x) on January 20 2013, 12:54am
Reply on January 20 2013, 2:18pm:
    I haven't, someone probably has though.. but a lot of it ends up being self explanatory, aside from the EEL programming anyway.

Question: How/why did you cut your programming teeth on BSD? Did your brother push you in that direction?
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 19 2013, 7:55pm
Reply on January 20 2013, 2:17pm:
    Hmm I did more stuff on SunOS in college and Linux (which my brother introduced me to in the 0.99.x days) than BSD, though we did end up running FreeBSD for web servers back in the day, so I did get to do some stuff for that (SHOUTcast, etc)..

Question: Will there ever be any more features added to ReaSynth? I like the sound, but there isent much you can do with it.
Asked by will (96.238.63.x) on January 19 2013, 10:06am
Reply on January 19 2013, 3:21pm:
    Maybe, but it's supposed to be a pretty basic synth. You can always do fun things to its output.

    I read an interesting article about it on a psychology website, which seemed to be a pretty good assessment of it.

Question: (Re 3rd party: I love it anyway, I was just saying... :D Re const: John described somewhere being a "full const nazi"!) const

    Yeah, const-nazi-ism is probably the best form of nazi-ism.

Question: Is REAPER getting bastardized by relying on various 3rd party software VLC/FFMPEG/LAME for functionality? I ask as a friend. :)
Asked by gio (94.66.33.x) on January 18 2013, 9:31pm
Reply on January 19 2013, 1:10am:
    Nah... it will be nice when mp3 goes patent-free though.

Reply on January 19 2013, 1:10am:
    Yeah some good stuff in there... I'm gradually getting myself to use const in more places...

Question: What are your go to VSTs? Aside from ReaPlugs, any ones that you quite like, are impressed with, drum VSTis?
Asked by Mick (27.127.192.x) on January 17 2013, 11:20pm
Reply on January 19 2013, 1:11am:
    Hmm I'm usually too lazy to install anything on my various computers, but when I do sequenced drums I usually end up using BFD 1.x...

Question: Which do you prefer for non-programming, general use: OSX or Windows7, and why?
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 17 2013, 9:04pm
Reply on January 17 2013, 9:46pm:
    Windows 7, because a) you can use the mouse less, and b) generally more things run on it (games, etc). OSX is nice because you have bash/perl/php/etc, but then again you can just install msysgit and so on... I do have to say, the battery life of a recent MBP or MBA running OSX is hard to beat on Windows. Sadly...

Question: I recall years ago you said writing the Javascript for an old nullsoft.com was a bitch to code. Have you brushed up on JS? :)
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 14 2013, 8:48pm
Reply on January 14 2013, 11:22pm:
    Hmm I don't remember what that would've been, but yeah I've done more and generally enjoyed it. Done a fair bit of AJAX stuff, too, for things like reaper_www web interface. Writing a small C++ web server + ajax content to do things is pretty fun, actually.
