Question: Have you ever taken any open courses online? Asked by John (24.234.85.x) on October 3 2014, 8:54pm Reply on October 4 2014, 8:32pm: Nope, I started reading Feynman's lectures though, good stuff! Comment... Question: How about 'fdc predicting the future on this one! www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/finger.pl?id=315&time=20020530224924...

Personally I'm still listening to mp3 albums and/or vinyl. Listening to songs, meh, haven't really done that since the 90s. Comment... Question: Re: Firewire, haha. Have you tried to leave a firewire cable connected to a port without a device at the other end (bare) and then hibernate the OS? I haven't try it lately but it was FUN... What wrong with firewire in your case? :) Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 10:15pm Reply on October 4 2014, 8:31pm: I haven't had that issue, I meant more the fact that Windows XP SP2 and later (including Win7) can't deal with more than about 100mbps of firewire bandwidth, with various firewire audio devices... Comment... Question: Would you like to see any major changes in Windows 10? Asked by travis (70.178.149.x) on October 2 2014, 7:41pm Reply on October 2 2014, 8:53pm: I'd like to see them fix Firewire once and for all just in time for it to be obsolete? Comment... Question: What was your time in France? Did the climate difference affect your time? I visited that beautiful place a few years ago, such an amazing city... Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 4:09pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:13pm: It was great, I enjoyed it. I miss summer now. Climate isn't that different from NY though, but it is October. Comment... Question: Do you overload new/delete/new[]/delete[] in some clever way for the abomination (OSX) so you don't have to link to the STL crap? something like this pastebin.com/HNn008dN but way better... Asked by gio (79.131.32.x) on October 2 2014, 3:52am Reply on October 2 2014, 5:12pm: Not aware of a need for this. Comment... Question: In retrospect, do you think pushing all of this .net shit down user's throats in terms of security updates & mscorw.exe CPU usage to compile assemblies in the background, etc., is pretty lame given how few killer .net apps are out there? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on October 1 2014, 9:12pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:12pm: Definitely lame. I can't really point to much positive having resulted from it, but then again I haven't been looking. Comment... Question: on irc.prison.net asks: !askjf Do you like to gamble?

Question: when exactly is the @init section in a jesusonic plugin/script called? see: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=146889 Asked by tor.helge.skei (84.202.175.x) on September 30 2014, 1:53pm Reply on October 2 2014, 5:11pm: About right, yeah. REAPER will usually call MainsChanged on playback start, too, so no real need to use audioMasterGetTime() in that case. Original link: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=146889 Comment... Question: Here's the link to my post in the WDL forum: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=1411651#post1411651... Asked by MezmerizeR (87.162.111.x) on September 30 2014, 11:41am Reply on October 2 2014, 5:10pm: I don't want to do it for you, but here's my advice: processSamples should just copy the samples into some sort of queue, which should always contain the most recent X samples (where X is the FFT size or some multiple of that). Then, when ::Draw() wishes to draw, it should take the most recent FFT-size samples, copy them, window them, FFT them, then draw. If the input samples haven't changed since the previous draw, it could reuse the previous results. This method would have the added advantage of reducing the audio thread CPU use (and putting it in the UI thread).

It is my favorite kind of software to use, but I look at the job pages for NI, Ableton etc and it seems like maybe there aren't many jobs. Asked by William R. (50.151.81.x) on September 27 2014, 5:28pm Reply on September 29 2014, 9:39pm: I probably live in a bubble so I'm not the person to best give career advice, but I can say it is quite enjoyable to work on if you are in to making music yourself.

Asked by Justin T not to (65.74.2.x) on September 27 2014, 12:15pm Reply on September 29 2014, 9:39pm: I haven't, but I should! Comment... Question: How and in which function do I do that? Especially how? I don't know what I have to set. I'd cherish your help very much! Asked by MezmerizeR (87.189.131.x) on September 26 2014, 10:27am Reply on September 29 2014, 9:39pm: I have very little context, but if you posted your full code somewhere I could make suggestions! Comment... Question: My spectrum analyzer is veeeery slowly updating. If I change the block size it is fast, but that's not the right way doing it. What else could I try? Changing the FPS in the constructor (MakeGraphics(...,fps)) does not work. Asked by MezmerizeR (87.189.132.x) on September 25 2014, 11:32pm Reply on September 26 2014, 8:59am: Don't update once per block, instead update at a fixed rate (from a timer) using the most recent samples each frame Comment... Question: When do you foresee REAPER 5 alpha testing beginning? Asked by Joe G. (67.23.144.x) on September 25 2014, 4:55pm Reply on September 26 2014, 8:59am: Can't really say. Comment... Question: Trying to select envelope by simulating mouse click and SetMouseModifier() seems awfully slow. For example: pastebin.com/pSUBdwmk . First while goes through 26 contexts taking 35 sec. SetMouseModifier seems to take 34.9 sec of that time. I'm used to API being quite fast and this came as quite a surprise! Won't we ever be able to select envelopes throu Asked by Martin (93.136.119.x) on September 24 2014, 11:52pm Reply on September 26 2014, 8:59am: Coming soon I'm told Comment...

Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on September 22 2014, 4:40pm Reply on September 24 2014, 9:13pm: I've needed to upgrade them, and to move contents to s3 because of bandwidth bottlenecks, but I haven't done any fancy load balancing. Comment... Question: Have you got any neat ideas about developing something for OculusVR? Asked by gio (94.66.21.x) on September 20 2014, 7:47pm Reply on September 24 2014, 9:13pm: Not really. Comment... Question: URLs in Qs are often truncated which means that we lose context. Could you fix by either allowing us embed URL or after you answer to make it a link or something? thanks Asked by gio (94.66.21.x) on September 20 2014, 9:19am Reply on September 24 2014, 9:13pm: Yeah I'll try to be better about that. Comment... Question: A friend of mine says thanks for Winamp, his own words: "winamp is a great way to watch porn at work because the IT support is so young that he hasn't heard of winamp" Asked by Martin (93.136.12.x) on September 19 2014, 11:53pm Reply on September 24 2014, 9:13pm: Haha Comment...
