Question: Did you have an authoritarian upbringing or antiauthoritarian? Was it in some ways restrictive (parents/other people)? Did you or do you play Computer games and which kind of? Have you got any values which are important to you? And last one - Do you like Nickelback? All the best.
Asked by Stefan (95.90.158.x) on August 6 2018, 3:30pm
Reply on August 6 2018, 6:30pm:
    Probably antiauthoritarian, perhaps to a fault. As a result I'm pretty reasonable about things (critical of conspiracy theories). Computer games, yeah, atari 2600, 8-bit, NES (Super Mario 3 all time favorite) mostly, then wolf3d/doom/quake and other PC games later on. I do not like Nickelback.

Question: Hey Justin, how is your 2d:4d digit ratio? Left and right Hand. Best regards:)
Asked by Martin (89.15.237.x) on August 5 2018, 7:32pm
Reply on August 5 2018, 11:42pm:
    Interesting, I had to look up what that meant. My left hand is within the margin of error of 1:1. My right index finger is ~5% shorter than the ring finger (and the other index finger), though I'm not sure how accurate measuring from the crease is, if I place the back of my hand on a table and point the finger up, and measure that, the index fingers are pretty close to the same length...

Question: Lite version of REAPER for Android/iOS? Any thought? Another opportunity for you to earn money and even more opportunity for us to make music ;)

Question: Is it possible to get an up-to-date extension SDK? Specifically for control surface development. The one on the website is pretty stale and I found a more recent reaper_plugin.h on the forums. Would be nice to have the most recent files in one spot.
Asked by fmap (47.55.182.x) on August 4 2018, 4:38am
Reply on August 5 2018, 12:38pm:
    reaper_plugin_functions.h can be generated from REAPER and has in-built documentation, but yeah the base reaper_plugin.h should probably get updated.

Question: What CPP libraries/frameworks would you recommend someone learning audio programming get very familiar with?

    No idea... It depends I guess? If you want to make VSTs, iplug?

Question: Besides Tycho, who other noticeable professional artists use REAPER??? (weird question, I know)
Asked by Abhi (106.223.234.x) on August 1 2018, 9:38am
Reply on August 1 2018, 12:50pm:
    They don't always advertise, in fact most artists rarely do. I did see some videos of deadmau5 trying it out at some point.

Question: "Not really my cup of tea (it's hard to make something you're not in to...)" you think it is unfair saying that this is noticeable by using reaper?
Asked by deee (79.168.107.x) on July 31 2018, 3:14pm
Reply on July 31 2018, 5:44pm:
    I think that an essential part of making something is using it, so that's not unfair to say. Whether or not it's true (or at least, whether other people qualified to judge that would agree) is another question.

Question: How many kilometres can you run per day?
Asked by Run! (106.223.174.x) on July 31 2018, 1:27pm
Reply on July 31 2018, 1:46pm:
    The most I've run in a week is about 65km, the most in a day 42km (or 52km of walking+running on the great saunter).. Most days I run around 5-10km.

Question: Do you think creating a new plugin standard that is open source a good and/or feasible idea? Being at the mercy of steinberg, apple or avid in perpetuity seems like a bad idea.
Asked by rasmus (37.72.175.x) on July 26 2018, 3:58am
Reply on July 26 2018, 12:23pm (edited at July 26 2018, 12:26pm):
    This classic cartoon comes to mind:


    But this is a different case, sure, since the standards you describe are proprietary. Perhaps we need to support LV2, huge ugly hacks that it will require aside (complete destroy/create required on sample rate change, among other issues)...
