Question: How much space does the stash currently take up in mb/gb?? does the storage need topping up regular,or how does that all work >? Asked by 2020 (95.151.177.x) on August 1 2020, 11:05am Reply on August 2 2020, 1:41am: It's only doubledigit gigabytes I think Comment... Question: What are your feelings regarding Pro Tools' gain reduction meters and would there theoretically be any way to include them in a DAW that can be had for $60 but which cannot be mentioned here? Asked by Danwhoneedsalongername (86.123.196.x) on July 31 2020, 10:59pm Reply on August 2 2020, 1:41am: Embed yer fx Comment... Question: Are you voting for biden? I am. He reminds me of my late mother with dementia. (: Asked by Jack Nicholsan (174.253.214.x) on July 31 2020, 1:02am Reply on July 31 2020, 1:32pm (edited at July 31 2020, 4:09pm): Absolutely. Not sure what you're talking about though, he seems fine (older than I'd like but way more coherent than 45). While there are a lot of video clips of him stumbling over his words, and he does say some shit that gives away his age, but he seems to be pretty sound of mind, unlike certain other people. (I should add, in the primary here, I voted for Warren, even though she had no chance obviously) 1 Comment... Question: Hey- Do any of your bandmates programme,or have any other unusual or exciting jobs/work? Asked by 2020 (95.151.177.x) on July 30 2020, 10:49am Reply on July 30 2020, 3:41pm: Things relating to music, graphic design/visual arts, and some construction thrown in there too 1 Comment... Question: Theoretically: What would be needed to port Reaper to Android/iOS? Would it be possible at all or are there too many limitations that would be impossible to circumvent? Asked by Mespotine (2.247.248.x) on July 29 2020, 2:24am Reply on July 29 2020, 9:39pm: No idea on Android (does one have to do a lot in Java, still?). Re iOS -- the UI work would take ages. So many windows that would need to get ported. Also basic things like dragging the edges of things with a mouse are really not practical for touchscreens. So, to be usable, you'd have to redesign a lot. Which then raises the question, separate code base? Set that aside, afaik iOS doesn't allow you to generate code and execute it... so EEL2/JSFX would have to run in (slow) bytecode interpreted mode. (general feeling: no thanks! and then there's the business side of things, app stores, ugh). 4 Comments... Question: Binge-Watch Netflix? Asked by Ask-Justin Frankel? (122.161.246.x) on July 28 2020, 10:15am Reply on July 28 2020, 2:18pm: I try not to watch more than one (or sometimes two, maybe) episodes of anything a day Comment... Question: Have you ever seen Hard Core Logo? (The Spinal Tap of ''our generation'' film) Just, watched it again-found it so freaking good 25 years later.Also, those photos you posted of your bike with the cargo attachments etc - are they like the W1A (the show) Collapsible bikes? they look awesome & should be compulsory for Commuting=Al Gore style.;). Asked by Dr. Octagon (199.229.249.x) on July 27 2020, 1:43pm Reply on July 27 2020, 3:05pm (edited at July 27 2020, 3:07pm): I haven't seen HCL, I'll have to look that up. The bikes on W1A are Bromptons, which are awesome (but not in those pictures). You can actually easily carry a couple of Bromptons on the back of the cargo bike I have (which happens to fold, but it is still quite large when folded!). Here's a picture of a Brompton on the back of the Tern Cargo Node. 1 Comment... Question: Einstein said that: "Imagination is more important than knowledge,for knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." < would you agree? Asked by 2020 (95.151.177.x) on July 27 2020, 10:11am Reply on July 27 2020, 11:16am: Sounds about right, as long one doesn't think that they know a lot more than they do... 1 Comment... Question: Hi Justin, I've taken classes in HTML, CSS and PHP. They have all completely scared the crap out of me and all that happened was that I got absolutely terrified of not doing well at them. What do I do if I'm terrified of being programming? I get completely terrified if I don't understand what's going on and what I have to do. How come you were never scared of not getting an A or messing up a program or being dumber than the rest of the class? Asked by Nevin McDevin (107.15.131.x) on July 26 2020, 5:33am Reply on July 26 2020, 3:43pm: It's OK to make mistakes, get things wrong, fail. That's part of the process. When things don't work as you expect, you get to figure out why you don't understand. I make as many mistakes as anyone, it's what happens next that is important. I should add: version control (e.g. git) is hugely helpful for this -- being able to see where you've been, what happenes when you change things, being able to go back in time, all are very helpful (and not using it now for any project that takes more than a day's worth of work would be unthinkable). 3 Comments... Question: hey- when you go gig/jam at the open studio,how do you cart all your kit/gear around to such places?? do you drive a van or does someone else help move it all with you?? Asked by 2020 (95.148.58.x) on July 25 2020, 10:23am Reply on July 25 2020, 1:41pm: The open studios things are at the studio so no moving required! otherwise, playing in bars usually they have house drum kits (you bring cymbals and snare and often a kick pedal). Sometimes they have amps too. Anyway usually everybody carries their own shit, either by taxi or subway or whatever, I usually take mine by cargo bike (and bike trailer if I need to take my Sonor Bop drum kit). Took the drums to prospect park a couple of times which was awesome! 6 Comments... Question: Where can I find reaplay? It sounds awesome :) Asked by Will (184.75.223.x) on July 24 2020, 6:50pm Reply on July 24 2020, 7:43pm: www.landoleet.org has it Comment... Question: hey justin! no offence, but, really, what's the point of developing reaplay? is there any significance of this in reaper? oh well you could utilize that time into adding features and fixing bugs in reaper. also there are tons of media players out there, full-featured, i really can't understand... why... reaplay.... which also, looks like winamp... good for nostalgia stuff, but apart from that... ummm anything else? Asked by Erangel (122.161.242.x) on July 23 2020, 5:01pm Reply on July 23 2020, 10:01pm: It's not a zero-sum game, bro. I also spend a shit ton of time making music and other things. 3 Comments... Question: Fav Pearl Jam album (other than Ten) ? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on July 22 2020, 9:09pm Reply on July 22 2020, 9:42pm: No real opinion, I listened to the next one (self titled, was it?) a bit, then Yield some too, and liked both (though not like Ten), and ended up going elsewhere... Comment... Question: Hey Justin. What happened to WASTE source code? :) Asked by average007 (80.110.95.x) on July 22 2020, 5:06pm Reply on July 22 2020, 6:15pm: It's still around. I've recently been fixing some bugs in it and getting it to compile on macOS/Linux using SWELL, maybe I'll get it polished up soon... 2 Comments... Question: Did you know reaper has the most awesome (+unique?) item slip looping function?? - o wow yeah,you put it there!! brilliant!! :) Asked by 2020 (95.148.58.x) on July 20 2020, 11:48am Reply on July 21 2020, 11:41pm: I'm not sure I understand, so no? or yes! maybe. 3 Comments... Question: hey- so apparently years ago lots of people had 'pen pals'- contacts,friends/family that they used to hand write letters to via snail mail...(often abroad) > did,or do you ever penpal anyone,or write hand written letters to buddies,friends,other work or academic contacts?? (+is it really a dying art to handwrite??) Asked by 2020 (95.148.58.x) on July 19 2020, 1:24pm Reply on July 19 2020, 5:02pm: Not really. I used to try to send postcards to a few people but that never stuck. 1 Comment... Question: This is wonderful :) With Reaplay my two favourite apps are combined in one. Many thanks! Asked by Nixon (95.223.117.x) on July 18 2020, 4:04pm Reply on July 19 2020, 5:02pm: :) Comment... Question: If you were to build REAPER again from the grounds up, are there any big architectural changes you'd now make in hindsight that are now near impossible to change? Asked by p0tato (83.81.253.x) on July 18 2020, 12:33pm Reply on July 19 2020, 5:03pm: There have been many that eventually get addressed. There are rarely things you can't change, just things you don't yet understand how to change (or how to change without breaking everything). 4 Comments... Question: I have two questions. Do you think that it is important to be a super fast typist (over 100 WPM) to be a very high quality coder? Also, may I ask what is your personal typing speed? Asked by Joey (73.91.212.x) on July 17 2020, 4:21am Reply on July 17 2020, 6:22pm: No I think you only need to be fast enough to not annoy your brain which is trying to express itself. The actual throughput needed is quite low! Not sure how fast I am these days, my accuracy has definitely been deteriorating. Comment... Question: Hey Justin. What are the lessons for building traction from Winamp? How would you do it today? Thx Asked by average007 (194.166.71.x) on July 15 2020, 7:53pm Reply on July 15 2020, 10:12pm: I think in any case you make something you want to use, let other people use it, and when people make suggestions that you like, add them. It's best to do it quickly, too. People get excited by things happening. 1 Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
