Question: "audio trigger > mastger clock" - I wish to use a modular synth or pre-midi drum machines, or the trigger outputted from a looper pedal to be used as Reaper's main tempo clock. We would feed Reaper with an audio signal, and it would be usedas /converted into the main master clock.as

    Hmm, not really possible as REAPER needs things to be predictable.

Question: envelopes are kinda inconvenient for electronic music in reaper imo. Any pointers on what part of the reaper API I should look at to make my own automation UI (that would probably write generated automation to the normal automation tracks)?

    Usually it's the opposite -- wondering why a simple change breaks things, then you figure out that the things that worked shouldn't have, but did due to good luck.

Question: Curves do end up looking like fades, but still don't null. I'm sure error is on my part and I'm guessing it's in using LICE_CBezier_GetY (bit.ly/1wALYpw). I can only guess why there are differences (rounding errors because you're using something other than CBezier_GetY()?). I'm trying to get perfect replica of REAPER behavior for loudness measurement.

    I'll look into it. I think for common fade types we use more optimized special-cases, i.e. using an interpolated polynomial directly.

    You could definitely use it for a plug-in (on OSX or win32), it's just not designed to be used with IPlug in particular, but it could definitely be done.

    Make something that you would want to use, and that will let you to be able to very quickly do neat things (even if you don't have all of the other things that people think of as necessary). Maybe there will be more people like you.

Question: Well, that worked! :) Just one thing - I test it by creating envelope points on vol envelope (one point for each sample) and see if things null. Before getting the answer from you, I did normal equations for first 6 fades (pastebin.com/25ZGp11H) and things nulled 100%. With this: pastebin.com/nnT0u9da they don't but get very close (-50 db).
