Question: www.mark-henning.de/files/am/Tuning_File_V2_Doc.pdf... I�m using CSE at the moment, but my dream would be a more intuitive system, I did a simple prototype in max/msp with 127 oscillators to tune by ear but I�m too lousy of a programmer to write the exporter to tun file, so I�m copy pasting the numbers into CSE�

Question: How does one edit audio files? What sort of data structure does a timeline and arrange window full of audio clips have? How can one concieve of even beginning to design the most simple of audio editor / arranger software? You guys are geniuses with Reaper!

    Well, REAPER doesn't really edit audio files, it more allows you to put them in things and non-destructively arrange them. We use lots of WDL_PtrList<> for tracks, items, takes, etc. I imagine this is similar to a std::vector of pointers, which is a very handy way to organize things.

    Before there were blogs, there were .plans, which could be accessed via 'finger', and later via web interfaces to finger (such as what you linked to).

Question: Would you consider making a simple microtonal implementation for REAPER?

    Hmm perhaps, any good resources you can recommend for microtonal needs?

Question: Is there something technical preventing Reaper's PDC from NOT rounding the latency to project buffer size? Would there be any way to have a mode where PDC doesn't do this but just respects the actual latency the plugin reports?
Asked by EvilDragon (141.136.195.x) on October 8 2015, 3:58pm
Reply on October 10 2015, 12:44pm:
    We could, in theory, though it would involve feeding silence through more plug-ins in the chain. It would be a big can of worms when it comes to plug-in compatibility, but not impossible, I guess. And of course it would still get rounded up to the project latency full the chain as a whole (but it would mean two plug-ins that have 10 samples of PDC in a row would use one block of latency rather than two). Mehr.

Question: What are the odds of a GUID lightning strike, the random song acting goofy because the lotterylike odds of generatingan already used GUID happens? Given how daw use has exploded, do those chances increase?

Reply on October 5 2015, 12:40am:
    Incredibly unlikely, and as it is now there are occasional bugs that surface where GUIDs collide anyway, usually it goes unnoticed...

    I posit that there are two ways one fails at coding: having insufficient time, or having insufficient will. I've failed in both ways more times than I can count!

Question: Will it be possible to write custom video sources in REAPER (the same way we can code custom PCM_sources now)? That would open up lots of possibilities, e.g. for visualization.

    That would be nice! We'd have to keep in mind that they are not necessarily realtime generated, but extensively cached...
