Question: does any type of hypnotherapy interest you? maybe releasing old habits- or for better health+deeper understanding of 1's place in the multiverse perhaps? (recommend Alba Weinman)

Question: Finally, Microsoft has allowed developers to put their win32 apps (.exe softwares, right?) into Microsoft Store. Are you going to put REAPER in that store? MS Store is really growing after allowing .exe softwares :D

Question: Sorry, if I am a noob in tech. What's the advantage of the major upgrades in any software? For example, why there is a need for REAPER 5 or 6 or 7. Why MS Office 2007, 2013 etc. Why not just make one software and give constant updates to it, just like what Microsoft did with it Windows 10? There will be no more Windows, just constant updates to W10. And also same with MS Office 365 (their MS Store version). Also apps in smartphones, they don't have any major upgrades, just constant updates.

    I personally don't like the continuous update model for a number of reasons (off the top of my head):
    • it assumes that the developer won't break things (if they do, good luck getting/finding/etc the working version when you need it)
    • when the developer wants to make major changes, there's no way for the user to know this is coming. If you update from v5 to v6 of something, you choose to do that upgrade at a time when you're ready to adapt to changes. If it just comes down the pipe, you're fucked.
    • Major versions allow for the "pay for major versions" update model. Otherwise it's "pay lifetime" (unsustainable without constant growth), or subscription based (and personally I prefer software to be owned licenses!).

Question: So our community has been talking about creating a ninjam application for android and iPhone. What are the key requirements of connecting to a ninjam server and receive/send data to/from the ninjam server? What code/library/framework is the ninjam server using? And does the server use encryption to accept a user? The reasoning is since the smartphone world is more advanced, we want to recreate the client to phones and have people jam online using their mobile devices.

Question: Which methods in IReaperControlSurface are never reentered by REAPER? For example I suspect that with SetTrackListChange(), the following can happen: REAPER invokes SetTrackListChange() => I call InsertTrackAtIndex() in this method => REAPER inserts the track and immediately invokes SetTrackListChange() again without waiting for the next main loop cycle (= "reentering"). I suspect for example Run() to be never reentered because it is simply called once per main loop cycle. But are there any other methods fo

    There are various checks to prevent reentrancy from causing problems, but it's probably a good idea to avoid modifying projects from within notifications of the project having changed. e.g. only modify things in response to user action, etc.

Question: About delay buffers: when using a 'standard' ring buffer (doubles) with (extreme example) SR 192 kHz, 2 BPM, delay length one bar, RAM usage should be 120 (sec) * 192000 * 8 (bytes) ~ 180 MB. Though when doing this in REAPER/ReaDelay is seems to consume much less RAM (according to PerfMeter/TM). Do you use another technique for it?
