Question: Have you ever thought about turning Cockos's talents to guitar amp/cab/analogue modelling vsts, in addition to ReaFX?

Nah, best to stay focused. Comment...

Question: Do you find yourself as curious today as you were at 17? (i.e. "no one told me I couldn't do that" mentality)
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 28 2013, 6:41pm
Reply on March 1 2013, 2:48pm:

I probably am less inclined to do something that will be a ton of work now, but that's less about curiosity and more about laziness (and having better judgment of the scale of things before starting, maybe). Comment...

Question: Any interest in musical hardware projects?

Yeah, fun stuff, but beyond for fun, too much work. Comment...

Question: Do you use GetPrivateProfileString (and siblings) or just load the INI file into a data structure and work in our own way?

Reply on February 20 2013, 2:33am:

Depends on the performance requirements and use cases, but I'll use both. Comment...

Not really. Comment...

Question: You should license WALTER to Steinberg, because their own new graphics engine is way too bloated...
Asked by Alexander (213.162.68.x) on February 18 2013, 12:22am

Not a question... Comment...

Question: Are you going to open source WALTER?

At some point, not sure how reusable it is at this point, though. Comment...

Crazy stuff. Comment...

Question: What would be the biggest task of the last 5% ?

Reply on February 15 2013, 5:34pm:

Not breaking the first 95%. Comment...

Question: Do you know Adobe's Source Code Pro font ( bit.ly/YbRQjs )? I guess I'm in love with it, looks perfect at 9pt.
Asked by Rodrigo (177.41.243.x) on February 15 2013, 1:46am
Reply on February 15 2013, 5:35pm:

Hah no, but I'll check it out. Comment...

Question: 95% complete? Don't you think there will always be more (as yet undreamed of) features wanted, even 100 years from now?
Asked by ees. (69.15.110.x) on February 15 2013, 1:18am
Reply on February 15 2013, 4:48am:

Of course, but that makes the whole number scale meaningless. REAPER can never get to 100%, it can only approach it. Comment...

Question: Is it better to "keep on trucking" if you don't want to check every single retval for every single function call you ever make?
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 14 2013, 8:15pm
Reply on February 14 2013, 10:25pm:

It depends -- if logically you can proceed even if the function fails, then sure, ignore. If you need to handle the error, that should happen in the code. IMO of course. Comment...

Question: Reaper 4.32 on a scale from 0 (newborn) to 100 (not the final, but feature-complete as you would like to see it in any case)?
Asked by Alexander (213.162.68.x) on February 14 2013, 7:06pm
Reply on February 14 2013, 10:24pm:

probably 95, but of course the last 5% takes 90% of the time. Comment...

Question: Will DAWs running on tablets be big?

Dunno, I know some people who have enjoyed one on the iPad, but not sure how the advantageous compare against the drawbacks... Comment...

Question: What's so bad about STL exceptions?
Asked by Jeremy (178.147.233.x) on February 14 2013, 3:48pm
Reply on February 14 2013, 4:49pm:

I don't think the feeble human brain can properly comprehend how unpredictable exceptions make things. Comment...

Question: What's so sad about CSS/DOM? Is it more sad than a WndProc and a ginormous switch statement?
Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 13 2013, 10:00pm
Reply on February 13 2013, 11:52pm:

It's horribly inconsistent across browsers, for one. Comment...

Question: goo.gl/eZMzg Some people seem concerned.

Reply on February 13 2013, 1:29pm:

It shouldn't matter to REAPER at all, but whether the driver loses efficiency is up to the driver's code. Comment...
