Did they drop Fraunhofer for mpg123 decoding? I thought that engine was inferior. forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t... Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on July 29 2022, 8:11pm Reply on July 30 2022, 5:10am (edited at July 30 2022, 5:11am): nah at this point they're all the same I think, maybe the fraunhofer decoder has a slight performance edge but who cares about 0.0051% cpu vs 0.0052%? REAPER also uses a LGPL subset of mpg123, mpglib, + additional code for layer1/2 decoding (this is open source as part of the reaper sdk) Comment... Question: Hello!

Question: Hello Justin Frankel, using the REAPER API, I should be able to fully remote control REAPER app from another C++ compiled app running on the same OS and who is replacing my mouse and my keyboard by code, right? What is missing with C? Using C with REAPER API do I need to compile a C++ project? Thank you! Best. Asked by Arlequin (212.224.232.x) on July 28 2022, 11:51am Reply on July 29 2022, 1:11am: Not really, the C/C++ API is designed to be used in-process, which means you would need to write a reaper extension DLL to control. You could make that DLL communicate with another app via whatever mechanism you like. Or you could skip the extension DLL and control REAPER via OSC or http calls via the web interface... 1 Comment... Question: Why Reaper is not free(open source) software?

Streaming an MP3 over the network using Windows File Sharing. I rebooted the host of the MP3. Winamp just keeps repeating a loop 1 second long. Is this how you designed it? Asked by Jesse (173.63.46.x) on July 25 2022, 9:07pm Reply on July 25 2022, 10:40pm: Probably not, but I haven't looked at that code in more than 15 years.

Question: Is there a way to optimize Media Explorer's performance when reading extremely large databases from network? I compared it with Soundly which uses binary database files, and even though Media Explorer does db scanning quicker, searching existing databases is enourmously slower than Soundly. Asked by nikolalkc (88.172.223.x) on July 21 2022, 9:11pm Reply on July 22 2022, 6:55pm: hmm reading or searching? searching should all be in RAM, there might be room to optimize, how many items we talking? 2 Comments...
