Question: Hi! I'm attempting to code an audio mixer - (full question below)
Asked by Tommy G (94.2.105.x) on March 31 2016, 10:19am

Hi! I'm attempting to code an audio mixer - I'm using C++ and SDL2, filling a
 buffer with a callback function. I can't seem to find an explaination of how to
adjust gain over time - with * 1.0f being no change, * 0.5f being about -6dB, etc..
Doing it in one sample introduces a click, as I'd expect.. doing a linear interpolation
over a number of samples also [truncated]
    Linear interpolation or some other curve is usually how it's done. If you're still getting a click then either the interval is too short or you have some some other bug...

Question: Sorry for the REAPER question, do you think Softube Console 1 support (autonaming/track number) might happen? When Softube was asked, they told it was on Cockos to implement it. Would be really appreciated! Thanks for everything!

    The list on the right side will show you global variables, you can assign to them if you have locals you'd like to see. You can also filter that list using the text box below it.

Question: Don't know. His short story collection (Tooth And Claw) is pretty good! But I was partly dissappointed by the only novel I read of him (When The Killing Is Done). So I wanted to know what other people think about this genre written by him.

Question: I missed my half marathon race today because I've got nasty cold. How do you deal with this stuff? it sucks to be sick, do you have any ideas how to be healthier?
Asked by asafonov (109.172.98.x) on March 20 2016, 8:05pm
Reply on March 20 2016, 11:03pm:
    That's the way it goes... colds are viruses so keeping away from people helps, but that's not very social. Washing hands a lot seems to help, also not drinking, getting enough sleep, but hell if I know, I'm always battling whatever things too (never as prepared for races as I'd like to be, inevitably something goes wrong a couple of weeks out, though usually I can get it together in time for the race).

    I'm reading "All The Light We Cannot See" now, and enjoying it.

    The biggest impression made on me lately has been the Culture series by Iain M. Banks, totally awesome and nicely optimistic.

    Other suggestions: Philip K Dick (too many to list, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich being a notable classic, and the more highly rated ones), Kurt Vonnegut (the more obscure novels, the better), The City and The City by China Meiville, everything by Neal Stephenson...

    We changed a lot of prototypes (some years ago) to be more const-correct (e.g. char * to const char *, etc), so you'll need to update your prototypes as well.

Question: Hi, I've been trying to learn about the rendering of a raw file from the example in the mini sdk. I can get it to build ok, and render correctly. My question is how could I include rendering the markers as embedded cues? Any chance of a snippet of code? Thanks, Wyatt
