Question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nco7qfrPG7I beginning would be good for one of your coffee/tea making videos :) Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on August 5 2013, 7:23am Reply on August 5 2013, 7:38pm: Heh yeah but I always use my own crap =) Comment... Question: Thanks for the answer - I guess it's kinda touchy to expose something like that. Whatever you decide, no hurry here, feature is far from complete :) And not to break the rules and satisfy my curiosity: How do you draw play cursor these days? Google revealed that in far 2006 you used DrawFocusRect. Asked by Martin (78.0.209.x) on August 3 2013, 4:58pm Reply on August 5 2013, 7:38pm: It renders it offscreen and BitBlts it... No longer using DrawFocusRect() Comment... Question: Using BitBlt to transfer some LICE stuff to arrange and everything works great except when playing a project. Play cursor invalidates stuff I passed, but everything else is preserved. Like this: bit.ly/12NbkUy Any suggestion on how to overcome this? Thanks! Asked by Martin (78.0.209.x) on August 3 2013, 1:55am Reply on August 3 2013, 4:04pm: Hmm yeah we'd need a way to hook the drawing process, maybe I should add that. Unsure if it's something we want to really support, though. Comment... Question: I'd rather have a WDL/resampler LGPL with an exception for static linking. does such decision defeat the purpose of LGPL in the first place? Asked by gio (94.66.56.x) on August 1 2013, 5:25pm Reply on August 3 2013, 4:04pm: I'd really want to make sure if someone improves the resampler, we get the changes too... Comment... Question: have you thought instead of % for cpu usage in REAPER to adapt a unix like style? 0.5 for 50%, 1.0 for 100% (one core) 2.0 for 100% (two cores), etc. do you see any benefit in it? personally i like it a lot better. Asked by gio (79.131.40.x) on August 1 2013, 5:00pm Reply on August 3 2013, 4:03pm: As an option, maybe, but meh in general ;) Comment... Question: hey man, reaper-dev-day is inaccurate. dev days don't match with running time by a factor of 2 days or something; it can get even worst than that. e.g. in 1460 years the offset will be 365 days. Are we going to get a patch for the inevitable? dammit, leap years. :) Asked by gio (2.87.7.x) on August 1 2013, 12:38am Reply on August 3 2013, 4:03pm: Haha I knew someone would complain eventually... Comment... Question: Are you good at geometry? Asked by ees. (69.15.110.x) on July 31 2013, 1:11pm Reply on July 31 2013, 9:17pm: I was in highschool Comment... Question: why people hate COM? Asked by ruchira (61.245.172.x) on July 30 2013, 1:40pm Reply on July 31 2013, 9:18pm: Because it is ugly? Comment... Question: What are the DPS (plug-ins) and Plug-in format REAPER can use? Asked by Sean (173.124.11.x) on July 27 2013, 3:08pm Reply on July 31 2013, 9:18pm: DSP? VST[i], AU[i], and DX[i], as well as JSFX. Comment... Question: You to use this player, is made ​​in China��en.ttplayer.com/‎ Asked by cool dose (85.49.234.x) on July 26 2013, 9:51pm Reply on July 31 2013, 9:18pm: Whaa Comment... Question: Futurama or Simpsons? :D Asked by EvilDragon (88.207.108.x) on July 25 2013, 6:02pm Reply on July 31 2013, 9:18pm: Simpsons Comment... Question: PCRE or POSIX regexps? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on July 23 2013, 9:26pm Reply on July 24 2013, 8:54pm: Usually just mess around until I get something to work on either side.. I think I'd lean towards PCRE, but not strongly. Comment... Question: On your two javascript canvas demos, how do you pick those colors that blend so well together? The two look like different palettes. Asked by John (70.173.150.x) on July 21 2013, 3:37am Reply on July 21 2013, 7:23pm: It's just combining R/G/B based on position... Comment... Question: What are your thoughts on supporting XP? PHP 5.5 scraps support for XP, while many people still use it in production! Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on July 20 2013, 1:06am Reply on July 20 2013, 3:59pm: Hah, well I wouldn't really care about PHP on XP (I don't host webshit on Windows), but my main recording laptop runs XP (quite well at that!). Comment... Question: Do you ever get recognized by fan boys? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on July 19 2013, 8:54pm Reply on July 20 2013, 4:00pm: Nope. Sometimes when introduced, but that's rare too. Comment... Question: what's the idea behind "m_empties" in various places? it looks like that instead of releasing memory you keep track of it and once done then to release everything (!?) Asked by gio (94.66.64.x) on July 17 2013, 5:16pm Reply on July 17 2013, 9:02pm: Well, when you have items that you would otherwise call free() and malloc() (or delete and new) on a lot, such as buffers, it's sometimes preferable to keep them around for reuse rather than having to modify the heap. Comment... Question: Is there some kind of TODO list for the SWELL linux port, i.e. things that have to be done for a working native linux version of REAPER? Asked by John (188.101.193.x) on July 16 2013, 9:59am Reply on July 17 2013, 9:01pm: It's a bit too big for a todo list... Comment... Question: Do you like the new blink engine in Chrome 28? Seeing that ugly pattern when scrolling fast rubs me the wrong way. Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on July 12 2013, 7:20pm Reply on July 13 2013, 3:21am: still running 27 here. Comment...

Question: VST/Win (googled but not convinced by results..) : Is there any good reason for hosts not to "forward" WM_SIZE? And, if not, is there any REAPER VST extension or trick to "enable" them? Asked by frenchos (66.45.252.x) on July 12 2013, 7:46am Reply on July 12 2013, 1:58pm: Well, ideally you wouldn't send WM_SIZE directly, but you'd just resize the child window to fit, but this would break tons of plugins. What some of our plugins (i.e. ReaTune) do is poll the size of the parent on a timer... Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
