Question: Hi , Daniel here, a youngster from Europe, Romania. In 2018 I started an educational podcast where I kept the same questions and for a full year, I had daily a new guest. It's a one-man’s show, kind of a hero’s journey where I worked on all the aspects of it. Now I started doing again new episodes without any time pressure with people that inspire me with their work and dedication. There is no sponsor or affiliation to the podcast, just me and the guests. Want to join in the next 24 months?

Oh man they're all so good, don't make me choose. :) If Kid A + Amnesiac were a double-album maybe I'd pick that. But also The Bends is just fantastic. And OK Computer. And In Rainbows. 5 Comments...

Question: How difficult would it be to add some kind of API-support via a cpp-extension for JSFX/VideoProcessor? Would this be feasible in any way?

It might not be that difficult but the nice thing about jsfx and video processors now is that they just work, and it'd also lock us in more. I do want to add GPU support for video processors at some point. Been preparing for that... 1 Comment...

Question: I have c++ extension in progress such as an interactive envelope based de-esser that mark possibe bad sibilants sounds on items.And some more productions tools that draws elements on arrange window. But on windows build appear hard flickering. After reading some cockos forusm threads, I realized that this cannot be fixed in a regular way. I understand that not quite legal but. Can I find arrange lice bitmap/bitmaps variables and draw directly to it? Or it so hacky/tricky/dangerous way?
