Question: hi Justin.. how feasable would it be to train a neural net using lots of video/audio of drummers playing to learn to follow tempo ? then use camera/mic on a live drummer as the input to get music software like reaper to follow the human playing live ? seems like the ai already driving cars is demonstrating abilities beyond what would be needed to follow a human drummer.. not asking as a request just wondering your thoughts.. would it be feasable, good/bad idea etc ?

    I don't do much with machine learning stuff but I imagine it'd be easier to just write heuristics or use triggers and learn from the MIDI results...

Question: Question from programmer (beginner) to programmer (experienced):) Is it possible to combine programming and family? How much time does the work take? Is it hard to switch between creative ideas and common home tasks? Do you have any tips on family time management? Sorry, if my question is silly, but I find that programming is taking too much time, and if it doesn't take all the time, you can't have a finished program

    It can be challenging balancing programming and other life, sometimes I spend my time washing dishes and contemplating a programming problem, things like that. And context-switching is difficult, getting asked a question while deep in other thoughts and getting your brain to even process the words can be slow. But as long as you can devote _some_ time to programming, it's enough to keep things moving forward?

Question: Is there a place I can find all OSC messages reaper interprets ? I know about the files at AppDataRoamingREAPEROSC. I normally read them to find OSC message, what I am questioning is if there are more things implemented that are not there, and if so are they documented anywhere?

    The default.ReaperOSC I think lists all of the possible kinds of messages, though some are probably commented out... The exact format is defined by the .ReaperOSC format, though.

Question: How much work is it to add new Api-functions? Do you need to do special adjustments for the different languages supported or is it quite streamlined?

Question: Hi Justin, this isn't really a question. I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done. When I was a child I used the hell out of winamp and a cople of years ago I started using Reaper, not knowing it was the same person behind the two. When I found out I felt so thankful to you for making the two most significant pieces of software for my musical development. Thank you so much for it all, I hope that I'll soon be able to buy the high-tier Reaper license. Love from Italy!

Question: Again a reascript question (sorry about that): What is the proper way to support retina/hidpi in scripts? We tried to figure it out, but I think nobody has got it 100% right yet. forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=230120
Asked by amagalma (91.140.81.x) on October 28 2021, 5:00pm
Reply on October 29 2021, 2:41am:
    the proper way is to set gfx.ext_retina to 1 at script start, then after gfx.init() check it to see if is set to a value greater than 1. It will be automatically updated based on the monitor that contains your window.

Question: Was there a time when you were just starting Reaper that people could actually invest in the company? Also is there a chance this can happen in future? thanks!

    No, we’ve never taken public investment… If we were to, we might have to do things that are less than great in order to meet our responsibilities to investors, so it’s best avoided :)

Question: How important is the number of CPU cores in music software?
Asked by core (185.209.177.x) on October 27 2021, 8:28pm

    Depends on what you're doing and how easily parallelized your projects are. But in general it's better to have 4 3ghz cores than 8 1.5ghz cores, etc.
