Question: I know that White Tie is your long-time friend and it would be incorrect to ask him to step out from the development of V6 theme. Unfortunately his attitude towards feedback and aesthetics of theme development contains huge flaws, that in future correspond to negative feedback form overall user base. Is it possible to ask him present more than one design for public evaluation (mockup, not final version) or create open theme mockup competition for other talented designers (Blankfiles, Commala, Janne83…etc)?

Question: Is there, in your opinion, a clearly better driver/sysyem between ASIO, ALSA and CoreAudio? Why do you think that Microsoft never developed a built-in low-latency universal driver if even Linux has one? Asked by Joan (37.159.65.x) on May 2 2019, 11:55pm Reply on May 3 2019, 3:28am: Hmm they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Some thoughts: CoreAudio: slightly crufty but relatively decent API. Multiple clients (awesome!), floating point, aggregate devices, overall winner IMO. ASIO: pretty easy API, but missing functionality (nobody seems to implement underrun indicators???), and most drivers don't support multiple clients/routing. ALSA: moderately clean API, but hard to get right across various drivers, also programmer responsible for scheduling. No multiple-client support. JACK: probably the best API of all worlds, but configuring it is still a pain 2 Comments... Question: Is Primus still worthy their own genre and if yes, which songs defines that the most? Asked by mespotine (109.104.55.x) on May 2 2019, 7:59pm Reply on May 3 2019, 3:24am: I'm not sure if they ever were (defining your own genre is meaningless, really) but it was funny anyway ;) Comment... Question: Is it possible to use LICE to draw a line inside or over a ListView control and be portable with SWELL? What I want to achieve is some kind of indication while the user rearranges the items of the list. Asked by Gio (79.130.181.x) on May 2 2019, 12:21pm Reply on May 2 2019, 2:06pm: You could use the GDI (GetDC() and LineTo() etc), but not LICE exactly. Comment... Question: Visualize a guinea pig. It turns out this is a magic guinea pig, and your fortunes are now linked. That is, your happiness is tied to its happiness. You must take care of the pig for the next five years. Question: what would you name the piggie? Asked by Reve (76.93.155.x) on April 30 2019, 5:42am Reply on May 1 2019, 2:01pm (edited at May 1 2019, 2:02pm): Number One. And I'd try to do a Picard accent when speaking to it. Comment... Question: How not to hate the most ridiculous language (C++) ? :) if you started to make REAPER today, would you choose c++ or something different? Asked by Pony (94.230.207.x) on April 29 2019, 7:28pm Reply on April 29 2019, 9:34pm: There's a non-ridiculous subset of C++, IMO. 5 Comments... Question: Why have you decided to port Reaper to Linux, since nobody else in the industry seems to care? Thank you anyway! Asked by Gios (93.35.73.x) on April 29 2019, 9:10am Reply on April 29 2019, 2:17pm: Because it's good for me, and good for REAPER! Comment... Question: Cockos' domain is not reachable when the clock is out of sync, is this by design or some default value at the web server? It isn't something that happens often but if you use VMs with snapshots etc the clock might take a while before it syncs etc. Asked by Gio (79.130.181.x) on April 29 2019, 3:27am Reply on April 29 2019, 3:33am: Hmm it's probably a function of the browser and it verifying certificates? You can use http://reaper.fm/ if you want to avoid TLS 1 Comment... Question: I've found another Reaper fan IRL yesterday. Was pretty cool. Asked by eubn (79.19.115.x) on April 28 2019, 3:05pm Reply on April 28 2019, 4:50pm: Hah right on Comment... Question: Hi Justin, how do you get through programming ruts? Do you ever get stuck? Any advice for the wannabe programmer? Asked by Lachlan (180.150.114.x) on April 26 2019, 5:11pm Reply on April 27 2019, 2:59am (edited at April 27 2019, 3:01am): Does that mean lack of motivation or lack of solutions? Lack of motivation -- do other things (run, hike, play music, paint, whatever). Lack of solution -- well, usually you come up with something that almost works, then go from there. :) Or change the problem to make it solvable. Sometimes these all fail though, then you shelve it and find something else to do, and maybe return to it, maybe not? 1 Comment... Question: Is question no. 6 "Can I ask a question?" by "schwa" on July 24 2009.. real Schwa? If yes, then why he even asked you here when he literally meet you everyday, right? XD Asked by Abhi (104.236.53.x) on April 26 2019, 8:48am Reply on April 26 2019, 2:53pm: I think it was a joke? Comment... Question: In the era of Windows 95, how Microsoft could expect from users to automatically know how to play the game Minesweeper? Today, we have internet everywhere, but not widely available that time. Tbh, I even don't know now how to play this game. Do you know? Also, Windows 95 sounds like much newer version than Windows 10, Microsoft's version numbering logic is weird, haha. Asked by Abhi (103.195.215.x) on April 24 2019, 1:08pm Reply on April 24 2019, 5:24pm: Maybe there was a Windows 95 user guide? :) 4 Comments... Question: Have you filthered your vocals yet (forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=...? Such screaming saturating fun on an analog footpedal (dry-wet), might work well with some of your pieces.. Asked by brummbear (69.172.165.x) on April 24 2019, 6:08am Reply on April 24 2019, 5:25pm: Hah I'll try that Comment... Question: Is there something in your mind, you are desperately waiting for? Asked by Abhi (103.66.142.x) on April 23 2019, 5:54pm Reply on April 24 2019, 1:19am: Impeachment proceedings... Comment... Question: Do you have any known allergies? If yes, how do you deal with them? Asked by Abhi (103.195.212.x) on April 22 2019, 4:13pm Reply on April 22 2019, 7:53pm: Nope, though I have minor allergies and what would probably be considered intolerances... Comment... Question: Are you anyhow, related to Stillwell's plugins? Read the 4th point - stillwellaudio.com/licensing/ Asked by Abhi (117.202.170.x) on April 21 2019, 4:23pm Reply on April 21 2019, 9:45pm: We're friends with Scott yeah. 1 Comment... Question: Hey Justin, thank you for WDL ... and for REAPER as well...(not really a question, anyway) Asked by Enrico (82.57.153.x) on April 21 2019, 10:15am Reply on April 21 2019, 9:45pm: Surely! Comment... Question: A hypothetical question - if you weren't a programmer and didn't made REAPER and if you got a job offer from NASA and Federal Reserve System, which job will you choose? (former is related to space stuffs and latter is related to finance stuffs, as you know). In short, which job do you like better than the other one? Asked by Abhi (117.197.4.x) on April 20 2019, 11:18am Reply on April 20 2019, 3:27pm: I’d probably go with whichever job looked more interesting... which would probably be NASA, but you never know the NASA job could also be incredibly boring and pointless. I did a short internship at Ames in high school and the work was pretty boring (though the experience was positive!) Comment... Question: Was there a first time that you programmed something and just knew this was what you wanted to do? If so, do you remember what is was? Asked by schmoe (172.218.181.x) on April 19 2019, 4:46pm Reply on April 20 2019, 3:28pm: I don’t know the first time, but in high school writing a crappy DAC EMS music player, and a LAN e-mail program, I was having a good time. Comment... Question: When songwriting, do you prefer using a notebook with pen or pencil? Or would you rather type on your keyboard? Asked by Prizmaxic (96.3.195.x) on April 19 2019, 2:57pm Reply on April 19 2019, 3:23pm: I try both but fail miserably, usually I end up trying to improvise over and over until I get it... then pull the best take from the recording.
