Question: Are you aware of Guthrie Govan? Holy fuck. youtube.com/watch?v=J503OvHWKko Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on January 11 2018, 3:36am Reply on January 11 2018, 4:14pm: Wicked Comment... Question: What's it like being Justin Frankel? Asked by ZEW77 (50.204.73.x) on January 9 2018, 2:32pm Reply on January 9 2018, 2:37pm: I'm getting old, it feels like. Things just hurt for no reason. Comment... Question: What would you do if you knew that you had only one year to live. Is it changing anything in your goals, day by day routine etc? Asked by asafonov (217.16.234.x) on January 9 2018, 2:11am Reply on January 9 2018, 2:37pm (edited at January 9 2018, 4:50pm): That's a good question... I imagine it would change just about everything, yeah. Edit (some hours later): well maybe not so much change, just shifting of priorities, and some things on an accelerated schedule. I'd definitely want to get a rim-to-rim-to-rim grand canyon run in, which otherwise would probably be a few years out (I'll probably do rim to rim before trying the return trip). Also other skills which I've been developing could probably be put to a use sooner than they would otherwise (a live improv super8 album, maybe?). I'd spend less time coding, unless it was something I wanted to use immediately... Comment... Question: What was one of your greatest acheivments?

Do you still have fun programming like when you started getting the first REAPER prototypes working?

Comment... Question: how do you mockup software design or ideas? Asked by deee (79.168.107.x) on January 6 2018, 4:33pm Reply on January 6 2018, 7:33pm: Usually with code, but sometimes with Gimp or HTML... Comment... Question: Given that prior to REAPER, you used Acid (the application), is there any thought being given  to add Key or Pitch Markers to REAPER to affect the transposition of loops, MIDI, and audio? Asked by pbognar (104.129.196.x) on January 5 2018, 7:08pm Reply on January 5 2018, 7:26pm: Not really... Comment... Question: What studio monitors do you use?

Question: What do you think about the whole touch bar situation on the MacBooks pro's? I get the impression they will become standard on future models even though opinions and support from developers is pretty mixed. I was recently forced to get one (long story) and I surprisingly don't hate it as much as I thought I would. Asked by Arch (69.120.228.x) on January 4 2018, 3:53pm Reply on January 5 2018, 3:16pm: I haven't actually used one Comment... Question: Can I ask who is behind the reaper linux port? is it the dev behind wineasio by any chance? Asked by linx4 (87.21.116.x) on January 4 2018, 12:37pm Reply on January 4 2018, 3:40pm: I'm behind it, but I've talked to and taken patches from someone who also contributes to wineasio... Comment... Question: What are your thougths on Meltdown and Spectre CPU exploits? Asked by EvilDragon (213.202.70.x) on January 4 2018, 4:06am Reply on January 4 2018, 3:40pm: I think the biggest impact will be on virtualized environments, e.g. cloud computing... but we'll see. Comment... Question: Hello Justin! Happy new year and thanks for all the cool stuff over the years! (Old Winamp user and Reaper based pro rec studio). Nothing to ask, just wanted to wish you good health and happiness. Asked by Thanos (46.190.31.x) on January 3 2018, 5:29am Reply on January 3 2018, 1:31pm (edited at January 4 2018, 3:39pm): Thanks! Happy New Year! Comment... Question: I wonder How often do you optimize code? Do you rewrite one? Asked by Ivan (94.137.30.x) on January 3 2018, 3:48am Reply on January 3 2018, 1:31pm: When it's needed.. You know what they say about premature optimization. Comment...

Question: What do you prefer more? Physical books or eBooks? Asked by Abhijeet Singh (117.222.221.x) on January 2 2018, 1:34pm Reply on January 3 2018, 1:31pm: Physical books, overall, but I end up reading more on a kindle for convenience. Comment... Question: What is your predictation for future? 1 year, 5 years, 10 year & 100 years Asked by Revizneid (171.231.39.x) on January 1 2018, 2:18am Reply on January 1 2018, 3:51am (edited at January 1 2018, 3:52am): 1 year: half dachshund/newfoundland will be the most popular dog breed. 5 years: bitcoin will (on paper) have become worth an order of magnitude more than all other physical objects combined (which will confuse everybody). 10 years: bitcoin will be worthless 100 years: we'll all play with dolls. Comment... Question: Are you straight or gay? Asked by Lee Wong (45.123.197.x) on December 31 2017, 7:50pm Reply on January 1 2018, 12:38am: I am heterosexual Comment... Question: Why did you choose Lua over JavaScript for Reaper's scripting language? Many REAPER users are already familiar with the JavaScript syntax so we would only have to worry about learning the API. Asked by Mommy (76.110.183.x) on December 31 2017, 6:29pm Reply on January 1 2018, 12:37am: JavaScript engines are a lot more difficult to integrate than Lua. Comment...
