Asked by A tree (186.210.24.x) on November 3 2022, 6:23am Reply on November 3 2022, 9:52pm: I would like to say that I wouldn't, but it would be so obviously an over-valuation that it would be hard to pass up. But I wouldn't keep the money. 5 Comments... Question: Is it in your plans to have a UX/UI/Workflow redesign for Reaper 7.x? I love Reaper, I have a full license, but it would be amazing to have it more natively integrated with extensions and redesigned visually....Impossible to explain without making references to other DAWs :) Asked by Leandro Alvarez (104.158.4.x) on November 2 2022, 3:48pm Reply on November 2 2022, 11:13pm: redesign, no, but we'll keep evolving it as to not require anybody to have major adaptation issues. Comment... Question: I'm curious as a pedestrian n00b why it's important for the license to say cockos always maintains ownership? ELI5? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on November 2 2022, 1:16pm Reply on November 2 2022, 1:28pm: Ownership has a lot of rights associated with it! If you owned REAPER itself, you could do a million things, like sell copies to other people. 3 Comments...

Asked by Francesco (93.41.113.x) on October 29 2022, 4:55pm Reply on October 29 2022, 7:39pm: It is compiled. If you carefully optimize the code it's probably about half the speed of typical non-SIMD C++. Some things are slower, e.g. memory accesses using [], since it involves bounds checking and conversion to integer, etc. 1 Comment... Question: Aren't you getting tired of stupid questions like this one? Asked by wasereb4 (87.167.80.x) on October 29 2022, 2:22am Reply on October 29 2022, 2:53am: Why should I be? Comment...

Question: Hey Justin, bit of a 3-parter - do you have any tricks to identify mistakes in code architecture early/before they're hooked into your codebase? Do you plan your designs before implementing them? Have there been times where you've struggled with sunk costs on something that just isn't working? I may be reaching my question quota for the month haha. Asked by jack (146.70.134.x) on October 28 2022, 1:15pm Reply on October 29 2022, 2:52am: No tricks, but when architecting I usually try to define an interface (API not UI) for using something before I build the thing, then implement both sides of the interface, adjusting the interface as needed when some new facet is exposed. Sunk costs -- I have no problem throwing things away if I have something better. But I wouldn't throw anything away until the thing that is better is actually working and better. :) Comment... Question: Are there features in Reaper, that you use such seldom, you have to look up how they work? In the manual or by watching Kenny's videos? Asked by Mespotine (46.114.206.x) on October 28 2022, 11:41am Reply on October 29 2022, 2:50am: Hmm I don't think so, but it might be because I never use them... sometimes I do look at the code to see how things are implemented, though. Comment... Question: Is there truth? Asked by chris (46.114.203.x) on October 27 2022, 2:41pm Reply on October 27 2022, 11:45pm: Probably? 6 Comments... Question: heyaman- am using firefox (win) and every time goto open a new session,there is like a kagillion tasks now running in taskmanager.. why does that actually happen,and is there a dummyproof method to prevent it happening? Asked by 2022 (2.26.163.x) on October 26 2022, 12:38pm Reply on October 27 2022, 11:56am (edited at October 27 2022, 11:57am): It's probably for your benefit (security etc). googling 'firefox disable separate processes' seems to say that you can turn that off if you want, but I wouldn't. 1 Comment...
