    There is certainly a healthy amount of self-doubt.

Question: Mixed-Mode DPI Scaling only available in Win 10. Win8.1 doesn't allow you to have dpi aware window and unaware window together for a single process. So, reaper running on win8.1, how do you make the DAW dpi aware and plugin window dpi unaware(let the os scale plugin ui)?

Question: Hello Mr. Frankel ! Hope you're fine. Do you think learning C++ right now is a good thing, I mean :eas a half-time dev. if implementing license cloud or other system is complicated / unwelcome ? Best

Reply on January 17 2022, 4:58pm:
    I don't have any experience with Rust, but I'd say C or C++ are both fine choices, though my use of C++ is also not terribly modern. C sure compiles a _lot_ faster though :). As far as monetizing, doing simple registration keys is preferable to users, and also reduces your support burden (if it requires infrastructure to function, then you're setting yourself up for headaches)

    I have an electric sharpener but it doesn't get much use these days, and a manual one for the sketching and watercolor pencils which also doesn't get much use these days :/

Question: hello- so can you clarify why rex+rex2 files behave so differently in reaper? ie: not respecting spectral peak settings or default fade inout options? is this a limitation of the format? or...
Asked by 2022 (91.110.225.x) on January 10 2022, 12:46pm
Reply on January 10 2022, 4:27pm:
    They are a complex format, and we have to go through the official rex library to access them... so some of those differences are a result of our separate implementation of various things... shrug
