Reply on August 31 2022, 12:21pm:
    You could but most codecs divide each frame into square or rectangular tiles, and in a round video that would be a problem, so you’d have to come up with weird shapes or just crop the video anyway, which you can already do? So yeah that’s why.

Question: REAPER smooth scrolling in Windows? It seems like the "throttle mouse-events" option is only available on Mac. I have seen a lot of Windows users complaining about this feature. Will it ever be added? People are switching DAW for this which suck that they won't see the beauty of REAPER.

Question: Is it alright to use REAPER more than 60 days? I am really broke and I want to use REAPER to make money then use that money to buy a license? Is it alright or will you get mad? Should I just use Cakewalk?

Reply on August 27 2022, 12:36pm:
    It is not exactly alright, it's a violation of our license terms. We won't have an emotional reaction to you violating the license terms (if we did we'd be upset a lot and that wouldn't be good for anybody!).

Question: reaper-vstplugins64.ini has two ID values for each VST3 plugin. The longer of the two IDs is the VST3 ClassID. What is the shorter one? For example, in the line `_TStereo_Delay.vst3=80EE243F8FDFD501,1997878177,#TStereo Delay (Tracktion)` how was 1997878177 calculated?

Question: do you live in a 'co op' building? if so, was the approval process a headache?

Reply on August 27 2022, 2:33am:
    I don't, but I did before, and the approval process was a bit of work but not really a headache. Having said that, it's a process that enables discrimination without accountability and that's pretty messed up :/

Question: Why music production (including mixing & mastering) is so hectic thing? Lots of things you should do before producing quality music. Why still there are no AIs, which can do most of your job, except the composition & songwriting, which obviously a human do. Other than that, there should be an AI tool or something, which magically can make your muddy & ugly sounding music into beautiful & professional sounding song. What do you think so?
