Question: Adding to Poofox: it does seem R is getting more and more nitpicked and number of small but irritating bugs seems to be increasing. We can't possibly know how you work, but maybe R is indeed getting big enough to hire more devs? Asked by Martin (93.136.117.x) on February 5 2015, 9:08pm Reply on February 5 2015, 10:30pm: I think people should stop trying to tell us how to do our jobs. Comment... Question: Loving the new horizontal scrolling required to read your questions and answers! Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 5 2015, 6:57pm Reply on February 5 2015, 10:30pm: Ha ha! Soon enough that video will scroll off the page and things will get narrow again. Comment... Question: Ever considered hiring some grunts to churn out some of the more nitpicky or tedious requests your customers continuously beg you to implement? Or are there other ways you try to balance your Reaper vision with that of the community? I'm sure you are aware that this is one of the main criticisms of the dev team, so is there any sense of obligation toward p Asked by Poofox (98.28.44.x) on February 5 2015, 3:42am Reply on February 5 2015, 5:06pm: People will always nitpick about stuff no matter how much nitpicking you address. Also those requests aren't always just about tedious work, they often have effects on overall quality/design/maintainability. Comment... Question: How much average annual mileage you do on bike? Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 4 2015, 3:03pm Reply on February 4 2015, 5:44pm: Not that much -- last year about 1300 miles of purely recreational rides, not including most of the transportation around the city (which probably is a few hundred more miles). In comparison, I ran about 675 miles last year, heh. Comment... Question: Are you impressed with FL-Studio for beat making and such? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on February 4 2015, 1:04am Reply on February 4 2015, 5:44pm: It does some things right and makes certain things easy, but it's not really for me. Comment... Question: HH Drive looks awesome. When it happens to be, i'd love to see a video. In that other video i saw you running red lights :p is that implicitly tolerated by NY police for bikers? I'd be toast if i'd do that in front of them here.. Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on February 1 2015, 9:26am Reply on February 2 2015, 12:14am (edited at February 2 2015, 12:15am): Yeah they sometimes don't care, other times they ticket you for *NOT* breaking the law. Rule of thumb: don't run red lights in front of cops. Also be careful when doing it, yield, etc. This video (and others) has HH Drive on time lapse, too. Comment... Question: just realized you *could* understand my question wrong (please dont) :) So here's maybe a better one: watched youtube.com/watch?v=Wkvmall6ou4Whats your favorite track/tour in NYC? What bike do you ride in the city? Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on January 31 2015, 5:53pm Reply on January 31 2015, 10:17pm: Favorite places to ride, hmm. Probably that ride you linked to, or better yet going across the GWB to the Henry Hudson Drive route along the river. That road in there is super nice. Prospect Park is also usually pretty good, but I'd avoid Central Park unless you go in bad weather or early mornings. I have two bikes -- a Salsa Casseroll single speed with 32mm tires, and fenders, which I use for going places (I lock it up outside when I do) as well as for bad-weather rides. The other bike is a plasticy Trek Domane which I'll use for purely recreational rides in nicer weather. Comment... Question: JF, I sent an inquiry to the cockos licensing email address a few weeks ago, but no reply. Is that an active address? Asked by John (23.114.218.x) on January 31 2015, 2:25pm Reply on January 31 2015, 10:13pm: Yes, it's active. If you aren't getting a reply, your request is probably considered relatively non-interesting or spammy. Comment... Question: Hi Justin, how do you deal with self-inflicted ignorance, (mental) laziness or plain stupidity in virtual or real life? Not happened often, but sometimes its pretty hard to restrain myself. Thinking about buying a punchbag :) Asked by math (77.64.254.x) on January 31 2015, 10:14am Reply on January 31 2015, 10:13pm: Just gotta relax, there's plenty of very wrong things in the world, but most of it we're fortunate enough to avoid. :/ Comment... Question: Any thoughts? ampache.org/ Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 26 2015, 9:33pm Reply on January 28 2015, 6:44pm: Would be easier to give thoughts if they had a live demo... Comment... Question: This is the coolest thing ever. how did you blend the videos? Asked by Aaron (75.134.157.x) on January 25 2015, 5:20pm Reply on January 25 2015, 9:55pm: (original link) Each version is subtracted from the scene with me absent, then the results are all summed on top of the background. It is far from perfect, to do better one would chromakey, or manually define the regions (since I rarely overlap)... Comment... Question: Do you miss living in California? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 23 2015, 4:16am Reply on January 23 2015, 9:01pm: In January, sure. Comment... Question: What new features can we expect in Reaper 5.0 Asked by Bryan (104.172.82.x) on January 23 2015, 2:34am Reply on January 23 2015, 4:13am: Coffee making, finally! Comment... Question: Do you pad the FFTs in reafir and use overlap-something? I'm trying to do something similar and I'm a bit stuck. Asked by mfran (79.13.7.x) on January 22 2015, 3:30pm Reply on January 23 2015, 4:13am: Yes, mostly. Comment... Question: How/when/where did you get hold of the Fender Rhodes piano bass? Asked by Tale (77.168.115.x) on January 22 2015, 3:11pm Reply on January 23 2015, 4:13am: Craigslist! Comment... Question: Would you ever incorporating a vsti / fx from a 3rd party developer into Reaper ? Asked by Suleiman (168.187.244.x) on January 21 2015, 4:39am Reply on January 23 2015, 4:13am: Probably not, but anything can happen. Comment... Question: What's your next mini-project? Asked by The Toe (183.103.37.x) on January 15 2015, 3:54pm Reply on January 20 2015, 6:32pm: cloning? Comment... Question: Why did you give up 'burn to become deadbeef / 'db ? Asked by Will (24.234.85.x) on January 13 2015, 10:10pm Reply on January 13 2015, 11:11pm: I forget exactly, but it might have had something to do with everybody thinking it was from Hackers, as opposed to the great songs by The Cure and NIN... Comment... Question: I'm making a website and I'm trying to some kind of perspective on bandwidth. How much bandwidth does the reaper forums use a month? If you don't know for sure just an estimate would useful to me Asked by Neil (86.14.62.x) on January 12 2015, 10:40pm Reply on January 13 2015, 2:02am: I'd guess around 5GB a day of outbound and less than 1GB a day of inbound. Comment... Question: In terms of bike-friendliness, how does NYC compare to San Fransisco? Asked by schmoe (207.6.166.x) on January 11 2015, 5:06pm Reply on January 12 2015, 1:07am (edited at January 12 2015, 1:08am): I think SF would win by a decent margin (especially with the NYPD harassing cyclists), even though SF is so much more car-centric (not to mention hilly) than NYC. NYC is without a doubt more pedestrian-friendly, though. Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
