Question: is there anything in WDL that will help me watching file for changes? Asked by olilarkin (92.12.227.x) on March 19 2018, 9:57pm Reply on March 19 2018, 10:10pm: you'd be better of emailing... Comment... Question: Would you ever work on virtual singing software? Asked by Will (172.58.3.x) on March 19 2018, 4:17pm Reply on March 19 2018, 6:45pm: You mean like a VSTi that makes human voice singing sounds? I dunno, maybe? Unlikely? Comment... Question: Have you watched any Jordan Peterson lectures? Maps Of Meaning and the Personality series are great! Asked by Ryan (23.16.24.x) on March 18 2018, 12:48pm Reply on March 19 2018, 1:52am: I haven't, thank you for the recommendation! Comment... Question: Will there be an AAC render option for windows users inside Reaper anywhere near in the future? Do you have an alternative on how I can export/render my Songs as AAC out of Reaper? Thanks and by the way: REAPER is awesome :) Asked by Tobias (77.22.254.x) on March 17 2018, 6:00pm Reply on March 17 2018, 9:54pm: When AAC is no longer patent encumbered... Comment... Question: Humblest apologies to ask here but i see you claim responsibiity for the Linux port, amazing! thank you! Midi Devices = completely empty. not showing a working usb keyboard (aseqdump -p 20 right now and i'm seeng live midi) nor soundcard midi ports (ardour sees both fine). literally blank empty midi device panel, with ALSA audio driver... any hints on figu Asked by Aaron Peacock (83.223.233.x) on March 15 2018, 8:43am Reply on March 15 2018, 11:54am: ALSA MIDI is not yet implemented, if you want to use MIDI hardware you should use JACK for now. Comment... Question: Do you think a full-duplex audio device init/config and playback/rec engine would be a good fit for an FPGA? It's basically a state machine, right? the codec says "here's a buffer" or "gimme a buffer" and the DMA controller does it's job. Why has nobody done low-latency computer audio as a driver presented in hardware? Asked by Aaron Peacock (83.223.233.x) on March 15 2018, 2:31am Reply on March 15 2018, 11:56am: Limited utility? Some vendors use FPGA for live mixing/routing/etc (e.g. RME), but when it comes to higher latency stuff like dealing with disk, might as well let a general purpose CPU do that? Comment... Question: if you weren't dev of reaper, would you spend your time making and justifying feature requests? why? Asked by deee (79.168.107.x) on March 13 2018, 4:32pm Reply on March 13 2018, 8:05pm: That's hard to say, but I can't remember the last feature request I submitted for any bit of software... Maybe that Winamp-in-javascript thing, asking for http playlist support :) Comment... Question: What was the last thing that frustrated you? Asked by Will (50.84.190.x) on March 13 2018, 2:54pm Reply on March 13 2018, 8:05pm (edited at March 13 2018, 8:06pm): Waiting on hold when calling a bank, and them reading news headlines. Terrible. Music or silence on hold is WAY better, having no hold (or call-you-back) is infinitely better. Comment... Question: 'nother SWS q: goo.gl/37jt3Glast comment, is this ok / save to do ? Asking b/c goo.gl/8J9WNw(#2405 ff). (Generally ok to ask SWS q's here from time to time as fb from other contrib. is rare currently ?) Asked by nofish (87.123.192.x) on March 12 2018, 12:47pm Reply on March 12 2018, 1:29pm (edited at March 12 2018, 1:31pm): It is better to email me. That patch looks fine, though if you had a line "TAKEFX_NCH 6666" it would buffer overflow, no? not that you'd see that ever, but still... Comment... Question: Are you always resting financially easy and secure, or do you have times of worry where you wonder what if you lost it all? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on March 12 2018, 6:01am Reply on March 12 2018, 1:27pm: This question is confusing as to whether it's a "should you be worried about money" or "do you worry about money" sort of question. In either case, though, probably not, unless something crazy or stupid happens. Comment... Question: Why is REAPER's OSC control name for peak meter value is named "VU" when it doesn't actually output a VU value? Are there plans to add proper VU metering to OSC parameters? I'm making a custom-made Arduino-based control surface, and i'd really like to use a real VU meter driven by REAPER's OSC output, but it seem to be not possible at the moment (in part due Asked by aburakov (212.17.34.x) on March 11 2018, 3:01pm Reply on March 12 2018, 1:47am: We're not the most pedantic Comment... Question: "King Gizzard & Lizzard Wizard" Did you hear them? More common question: how do you about complex musical stuff like syncopes, complex time signatures, microtones, abstract sound design, modular synths? Is that an evolution or should we keep simple to still be a humans? Asked by MPL_ (46.72.72.x) on March 10 2018, 5:50am Reply on March 12 2018, 1:47am: I haven't heard them, and as far as simplicity goes, I guess if you like it, do it... Comment... Question: cat or dog ? Asked by wasereb4 (88.130.48.x) on March 10 2018, 1:08am Reply on March 12 2018, 1:47am: I am a human. I don't have pets but I love dogs and cats! Comment... Question: Ever considered Android? So much of iOS philosophy seems contrary to (what I can infer of) yours Asked by Colin (103.21.51.x) on March 9 2018, 3:45am Reply on March 9 2018, 7:48pm: I've used some Android phones and it has its own set of problems... if someone made a nice, open, and not terrible Linux phone I'd be game though. Comment... Question: I want to create a reverb vst plugin which has feedback to generate pad like sounds. how to implement feedback? how to feed output to input? Asked by ruchira (123.231.122.x) on March 7 2018, 4:38am Reply on March 7 2018, 12:16pm: For feedback you want a delay line. Reverb would be separate from that (pre or post? unsure!), WDL has a "verbengine.h" which is based on FreeVerb... Comment... Question: Whad do you think of Lisp as a programming language? Asked by Auvi (128.175.188.x) on March 6 2018, 1:09am Reply on March 6 2018, 7:24pm: I get it, and appreciate the simplicity, but never have enjoyed trying to program with it... Comment... Question: Thanks for answering the previous question. I was really into something 3 days ago and now I just don't want to do anything, with your kind of progress I'm doubting it's happened much to you? HOW do you snap out of it, it's not lazy but more of a focus issue... any info on this? Asked by sam2short (67.21.182.x) on March 4 2018, 12:16pm Reply on March 4 2018, 6:21pm: Hah I feel that way sometimes too... the end result has to be worth it, for the most part. Comment... Question: Is P=NP? Asked by Neil (84.74.182.x) on March 3 2018, 10:53pm Reply on March 4 2018, 2:09am: Seems like probably not... Comment... Question: I'm doing a CS program and trying to learn some audio programming on the side. For practice, i'm going to make a web calculator app that contains useful converters/calculators for music and audio programming. Do you have any ideas for things to include? I.e. things you frequently find yourself referencing that a noob like me wouldn't know to think of. Asked by knoob (69.120.228.x) on March 3 2018, 6:09am Reply on March 3 2018, 2:24pm: I dunno, sorry Comment... Question: DHH shows off his quesitonably ostentacious lifestyle on instagram: instagram.com/dhh79... as someone who hit it rich in the .com boom, how did you avoid falling into the trap of buying a lot of fancy stuff?
