Asked by EcBaPr (119.18.3.x) on June 27 2020, 3:02am Reply on June 27 2020, 11:23pm: That would be incredibly difficult. Realtime pitch shifting of monophonic material is tough! 1 Comment...

Does it matter? Not usually. Could it matter? Sure. Does it cost much to preserve the extra precision in the intermediate states when mixing a project? No. Comment...

I worry Tr@mp will get back in-because ''we'' need something to take the piss out of-feels like distracting the sheep from the wolf like atm. I hope, I am wrong, while I have a laugh.

Asked by 2020 (95.151.177.x) on June 16 2020, 8:50pm Reply on June 16 2020, 9:57pm: It's turing complete, but can't create threads or network connections or a lot of other things, and the JSFX compiler doesn't produce as efficient of code as say, MSVC or clang. So, shrug? 2 Comments... Question: I'm comparing my renders from different Daws with same settings. When I make null test, phase difference between renders is around -70 db which is pretty low..I also can't hear any differences in my listening tests at different SPLs and on different systems. How can I make sure that other people also can't hear that,too? Is there a definiton for "inaudible by human ear" while comparing sound differences? Regards Asked by mehmethan disbudak (95.14.32.x) on June 16 2020, 2:23am Reply on June 16 2020, 9:57pm: Not sure, it probably depends a lot on what the -70dB is and what the signal is... Comment...

Writing stuff in REAPER using JSFX and/or ReaScript can be very satisfying, though! 2 Comments...
