Question: Just curious, when you incorporate a 3rd-party library in REAPER you static link or just merge the source code manually? Tend to do the later when possible and sometimes I question the practice due to the effort required to make it right, etc.

    If I had to make a living by it, programming... Otherwise, that'd be a tough choice. I love music.

Question: Ahh sorrry, I literally translated it from German but it has another meaning in English.. What I meant to say: musical scores or (guitar) tabs? :D When playing piano probably scores, right? How you gonna deal with bass clef? I mean, when I play it I imagine the G clef scores and "transpose" every score 2 scores up in my mind.. Feel sometimes uncomfortable wi

    Ah right. I'm a lot better at reading sheet music than tabs, though I rarely try to read sheet music for guitar (only for piano and flute/clarinet).

Question: Do you experience carpal tunnel symptoms?

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 ;)

    I'd prefer to keep our focus on one product :)

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.
