Question: REAPER + Komplete Ultimate + FabFilter (Total Bundle). Do I need anything else to make (good & professional) music?
Asked by Musician (104.131.188.x) on July 14 2018, 9:17am
Reply on July 14 2018, 9:26pm:
    Skill, creativity, and hard work, I'd think? Maybe some hardware and mics and instruments would be good too?

Question: I read a while back that MS insists that C++ source files should use .cpp extension for portable C++. Does that still hold true if that was the case? Greetings

    No idea, I've been using .cpp forever. Just tried making a .cc file and that seemed to compile OK using VC2005.

Question: I'm looking for a new PC. Should I only consider CPU performance (ie : cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to run live amp sims+a few synths+samples smoothly? What about single/multi-core performance? Btw, I have a good interface (RME). Thanks for you input!
Asked by james (198.91.196.x) on July 11 2018, 2:56am
Reply on July 11 2018, 12:43pm:
    There are trade-offs between single and multiple core, something with a high single core performance and 4 cores these days would probably be ideal for synths/amp sims/etc. Motherboard and video card also matter if you're worried about keeping DPC latencies low... But I don't have any specific advice there.

Question: Sorry, if I am noob. What does 'upgrade' actually means? (like from REAPER 4 to 5). Is REAPER 5 modification of v4 or REAPER 5 made completely from scratch? (means, without modifying v4). Will REAPER 6 completely made from scratch too (without modifying v5)?

Reply on July 5 2018, 12:54pm:
    REAPER v5 was derived from REAPER v4 which was derived from v3 etc etc.

Question: This is not a feature request, because it's too complex, but in many years I have always been thinking if a certain DAW feature would be possible to make at least in theory; would it be possible to make a plugin format, so that when making any processing using this format, the waveform (the "peaks") in the DAW would update it's shape in realtime. [...]

Reply on July 5 2018, 12:54pm:
    It would probably be too CPU-intensive to be usable, so you'd have to render/cache them.. so meh.

Question: Do you think just by 'human - yes', a bot can't post a question? Why not instead add an image scan captcha, just like many other websites have?
Asked by Anti-bot (117.197.2.x) on July 4 2018, 2:01pm
Reply on July 4 2018, 3:22pm:
    It's surprisingly effective. Sophisticated bots tend to target specific web software packages, which this is not one of. If it become ineffective, I'll switch to recaptcha v2, since I had to update our various other things to that recently anwyay...

Question: Have you ever had neighbors with loud dogs that got on your nerves?

    I don't think so, I've had other noisy neighbors but noisy dogs haven't been a problem I don't think...

Question: If I make a DAW and all REAPER as well as other DAW users, switch to my DAW, will you still develop REAPER (just for yourself)? LOL ;)
Asked by RePear (59.97.207.x) on July 4 2018, 4:24am
Reply on July 4 2018, 3:20pm (edited at July 4 2018, 5:53pm):
    If I've switched to your DAW (since you said all REAPER users switched), then I would no longer develop REAPER. But if for some reason everybody else switched and I still preferred REAPER (unlikely as it may be), then I would keep developing it if only for myself, yes.
