Asked by Will (68.96.206.x) on November 7 2009, 12:59pm Reply on November 8 2009, 9:42am: The practical pros and cons are that (on non-cheapo hardware) ASIO typically has the most well developed drivers, most readily configurable access to those, is the easiest to implement from a programmers perspective. WDM KS and WASAPI can provide similar performance to ASIO, though aren't as easy to work with. DirectSound and WaveOut(MME) are pretty old, and relatively straightforward to support, though their architectures make it difficult to use them with really low latencies. This isn't really specific to their APIs, but more just a factor of how they are implemented everywhere. Comment... Question: Best coffee to buy??

Comment... Question: How to add xp theme support for given window?(without manifest) Asked by ruchira (202.129.234.x) on November 6 2009, 6:43pm Reply on November 7 2009, 8:42am: SetWindowTheme() can be used to remove theme, so perhaps you can use it to add a theme rather than using a manifest... Not sure ;) Comment... Question: What is the record for REAPER downloads in one 24 hr. period? Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on November 5 2009, 3:03pm Reply on November 5 2009, 6:26pm: Honestly I don't really look at those sorts of statistics.. I think one day we were linked from some big warez site and got hundreds of thousands (and presumably the crack got a similar number...) Comment... Question: when avs 2 Asked by reyhan (118.96.83.x) on November 4 2009, 4:40pm Reply on November 5 2009, 6:25pm: Haha.. I suppose we could do something using LICE and EEL2.. but with people having invested so much on exploiting AVS for what it was, making a "next-gen" AVS would be a long uphill slope... Comment... Question: How to draw unicode text using lice? Asked by ruchira (202.129.233.x) on November 2 2009, 8:19pm Reply on November 3 2009, 8:45am (edited at November 3 2009, 8:46am): LICE_CachedFont::DrawText() takes UTF-8 input. So you can convert to UTF-8, then call it. :) Or, if you have a LICE_SysBitmap you can just call DrawTextW(), too.. (using LICE_IBitmap::getDC()) Comment...

Asked by Newbie_programme (66.90.73.x) on October 31 2009, 2:12am Reply on October 31 2009, 10:22pm: Probably, but probably also would require a lot of careful design decisions and a ton of work... Comment... Question: Is the VU meter animation done with basic GDI calls? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on October 30 2009, 10:50am Reply on October 30 2009, 7:54pm: In REAPER (on Windows), currently, it is done using LICE, then BitBlt() using GDI.

Can you give some advances for a man who can start new software company? Asked by Alex (83.149.3.x) on October 29 2009, 8:17pm Reply on October 30 2009, 10:08am: Advances or advices? I'll assume you meant advice: Make stuff that you want to use, and will use a lot Make stuff that will be used often, not just once. Stuff people will use just once is probably best made as a perl script or something. Try to make things as close to free as possible. Umm, be sure to enjoy the process, too... Comment...
