there are so so so few ladspa-only plug-ins, and lv2 is the future of them? Comment...

Question: Have you ever been involved in angel investing? PS. I use LICEcap almost daily, it's so practical - thank you for making it!

Question: In last week’s interview, you mentioned the buffering preferences in passing – how the default is somewhat outdated (to paraphrase). Could you share a screenshot of your buffering preferences?
Asked by J.R. Taylor (70.112.146.x) on March 5 2022, 4:41am
Reply on March 5 2022, 2:07pm:

I use the defaults. I was theorizing more than anything, that if you have a fast SSD, you could go to preferences/buffering, and change the media buffer size from the default of 1200ms to 500ms, and probably be fine. But there's no real need to. Comment...

Question: Reaper and data science, feels like the field is getting everywhere, what do you think of people using the scriptable powers of Reaper for organizing training data (audio ofc), previewing simulation results (vectors to envelope automation and stuff like that), etc.? Any wild ideas for data collection of Reaper projects? Have a nice day!

Question: Hi! Thanks for the answer, and sorry - didn't notice the note about Reaper questions. The rest - on forums. Erec, guys! Please stop asking Justin about death, he's a young and handsome guy, everything will be fine. When he dies Reaper will be an integral part of human brain.

Question: Do you go back and watch those 2.3TB of recordings or is it really just hoarding at this point? :)

Occasionally I'll go edit/re-mix stuff, but yeah it's hoarding 1 Comment...

Question: What will happen to Reaper when you die? Will you sell it to another company or will it just stop being updated?

I couldn't sell it to another company, I'd be dead! Cockos would still exist, and Schwa knows what he's doing. Comment...

Question: I'm still facing issues with PDC on online render of ReaInsert. The playback is ok, I measure latency mostly manually, sometimes with Ping. Render short fragments os always ok. Online render of long fragments suddenly can slide several ms right. Then I render again short fragment and align. Mac OS here, Clarett 4pre - any ideas how to solve that?

Not really, try disabling anticipative FX multiprocessing and see if it helps? Comment...

Question: I know VC6 build Reaper was dropped from last year, but how you tackle annoying VC2005 SxS runtime dlls (and so in VC2008) without need to vcredist? Static lib runtime or any tricks? Also do you actually use Intel IPP library in conjunction to ICC compiler?

For VC2005 we use static linking, plus a slight mod of the static library to disable FLS usage (since many Windows versions are very FLS slot constrained) Comment...

a windows system can only have a finite and rather small number of HWNDs, so an app shouldn't create more than a few hundred of them at a time Comment...

I wish the people of Ukraine well (there's probably a better way to put it, but ugh)! And the anti-war protestors in Russia, damn. :( Comment...

Question: Should WDL_VirtualStaticText respect newlines characters? The use case would be to draw first line regularly then when you do a dblclk display the full formatted text in a msgbox. Right now I feed full text on mousemove to get something similar... nothing particularly fancy just an idea...

Question: What's the actual reason from moving master branch to main? It caused some surprises which never occurred in the past, certainly not a big deal but it was unusual. Hope it is not something political related... :)

A lot of repositories use main, so moving to that for consistency (also its fewer characters) 1 Comment...

Question: How can we know that the valuestrNeedBig returned by reaper.GetSetProjectInfo_String(0, "RENDER_STATS", dry_run_action, false) is the current and not the previous one? Retval is always true even if the dry_run_action failed to run and the function returns the previous results in memory.

Hmm good question, why would a dry run fail? But perhaps a failed dry run should clear that string... 2 Comments...
