Question: Hi, is there any relationship between EEL2 and EEL (eelang.org/? If not, why is it called EEL2? :-) Asked by Christof (193.170.101.x) on July 6 2020, 2:43pm Reply on July 6 2020, 6:09pm: No relationship. It's called EEL2 because it is derived from an earlier "EEL" (part of AVS) which is not the one you linked to, so it is called EEL2 both because it is a sequel and also in order to disambiguate itself from the one you linked.

Realistically, a lot of people work in restaurants, factories, etc., so what is the real point? Asked by Joey (73.91.212.x) on July 5 2020, 5:51pm Reply on July 6 2020, 1:02am: As someone who never tells people to learn to code, I wouldn't know! What I will say is that imagining things you want to do, then building tools to let you do them, can be immensely satisfying. Maybe it's good for the people who learn and get skills which then they can use to make useful things for others? Really though, finding ways of being creative is good for people in general, economic benefit or not. "Learn to paint, learn to paint, learn to paint!" Whatever works. 2 Comments... Question: What do you think is the purpose of life? Asked by Sylvester (172.116.159.x) on July 4 2020, 11:00pm Reply on July 5 2020, 2:21am: The previous times this has been asked, as "meaning", I've said I don't know. When it comes to purpose, I also do not know. I have some ideas on how to best utilize life, but they are probably not the purpose. Comment... Question: Any chance you could cobble together some of the ReaPlugs code to make a nice channel strip plugin? It'd be really handy sometimes. Asked by Dave (194.35.118.x) on July 4 2020, 6:17pm Reply on July 5 2020, 2:21am: Hmm perhaps 1 Comment... Question: Is there any particular (tehnical) reason, that in Reaper on Windows, only floating plugin windows can be HiDPI compatible? Asked by zabukowski (89.142.62.x) on July 3 2020, 12:01pm Reply on July 3 2020, 4:10pm: By "HiDPI compatible" I assume you mean "hidpi compatibility mode", which is sort of the opposite (it disables hidpi for that plug-in). The reason there is that you can only enable that setting for a top-level window at the time of creation. We could theoretically destroy/re-create the chain if undocked to enable such a mode, but meh. Either update your plug-ins, or set REAPER to be hidpi unaware, IMO. 1 Comment... Question: heya!- how do you feel about post recording quantizing for drums/guitars or vocals?? /are you ever doing that type of post editing for yourself?? Asked by 2020 (95.149.70.x) on July 2 2020, 6:09pm Reply on July 3 2020, 1:21am: I think if it's done artfully there's a lot of value, but just smashing it into a grid is often a shame. 3 Comments... Question: Do you think you are as good a programmer as Vojtech from Melda? Asked by askingforafriend (61.68.116.x) on July 2 2020, 11:51am Reply on July 2 2020, 1:36pm (edited at July 2 2020, 1:37pm): Everybody has different strengths and weaknesses, it's really silly to try to compare IMO Comment... Question: I use reaper and love it, but whats so bad about trump? I dont get it, Since when does likability have to do with getting things accomplished? I lean democrat on all social issues and im also vegan so. o.o Asked by Austin (174.251.64.x) on July 1 2020, 7:31am Reply on July 1 2020, 4:14pm (edited at July 1 2020, 4:34pm): Most of the things he does in an official capacity are sufficient for me to think he's a terrible president. Comment... Question: Hi, how much hours(per day) have you been coding/working since all these years(& presently?)?

Question: Do you like to watch movie series in chronological order or release order? Asked by Abhi (117.234.99.x) on June 28 2020, 4:50am Reply on June 30 2020, 10:16pm: Umm if you mean like prequels, I'd say release order I guess? Comment... Question: how hard would it be to make a plugin that can real time tune polyphonic material ? is this something you would consider doing ? it would be useful for guitar on live performances / streaming where tuning might drift or intonation is a problem.. seems like a good challenge but i'm wondering how feasable is it ? 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... Question: Quantum computing:: (a.) do you think the mass public will come to be able to quantum compute? (b.) will we all need to fundamentally re-educate for it? + (c.)

Question: Do you know about Vocaloid? It is a VSTi singing plugin, in which you type lyrics and it sing back to you? It has lots of different high quality realistic sounding voices. Free alternative is Alter Ego, but this one doesn't have high quality voices. Asked by Abhi (182.64.174.x) on June 24 2020, 10:07am Reply on June 24 2020, 5:57pm: I did not! 1 Comment...

Question: There's currently a discussion on KVR if 32 bit processing is actually sufficient/64 bit processing a merketing thing: kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p...WQhat's your take? Asked by wasereb4 (94.134.90.x) on June 19 2020, 11:13pm Reply on June 20 2020, 3:29am: Truncating to the 23 bit mantissa of 32-bit FP can result in rounding errors in real world scenarios, totally. 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... Question: Are you taking any notice of what is occurring with seattle's autonomous zone >chaz (chop) ? =Make sense or what?

Question: I get worried - Do you?=when watching all these satire/sarcastic talkshow/comedians/news/current affairs shows laughing with/at your boss . 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.
