Question: So occasionally, as an engineer, that doesn't necessarily want to break out his RF signal generator (that would be me), I recall that Winamp V5.6XX and earlier ( still awesome even by today’s standards!) had a simple integrated tone generator function that was very handy. Particular when troubleshooting / tuning audio equipment. I can’t remember the syntax.. I thought it was something like “tone://400” in the open URL dialog - for 400 Hz as an example. Since its your design, I was hoping you know. Thanks!

Question: Hey Justin, sorry for the technical question but I asked this a while back. I like to run a 32 bit version of Reason through rewire and I'm not seeing it available in Reaper, I know you told me you were going to enable a feature to get it back on. I'm seeing rewire32enable =1 in the reaper-rewire.ini file, is that it? So far it's not doing anything. Thanks for all you do

Question: Hi there. How would you go about creating a tiny "filter" in Windows that would add some gain to an incoming signal? Similar concept to ddmf.eu/virtual-audio-stream/but just simple gain.
