Question: I think in your interview you mentioned the games inside reaper could open while rendering ? How can I do that or am I remembering it wrong ?

    Andy has a Fender Hotrod Deluxe which is awesome, especially so with his Strat. Not a huge fan of amp sims but I have a Strymon Iridium which isn't bad.

    Strong disapproval for multiple reasons. Environmental impact is terrible, and also it is a negative-sum ecosystem so anything that encourages more people to buy into it so that the people who previously bought it (or mined-in) can cash out is a bad thing.

Question: Hi Justin :) This is an idea nicked from graphics programs where you can do math calcs in the dialogue boxes. Translated to music that would mean typing 1/8 instead of something-ms. Extend that with 1/8T for a triplet etc. And for frequencies you'd type C#4 etc. And Reaper would do the math for you. /Bo

Question: Is there any problem to use AddRemoveReaScript (add = true ) to get the command ID of a script, that is already present in the Action List, by its path?
Asked by amagalma (194.150.167.x) on March 13 2022, 5:36pm
Reply on March 13 2022, 8:34pm:
    Not a problem exactly but also it's pretty inefficient, does a lot of extra work. If you can do a sha1 you can calculate the command ID string using that...
