The range of the analyzer in ReaEQ is different than that of the EQ, because the useful range for each differs. 1 Comment...

Question: I work in 16-bit 44100 Hz audio. What about you? Because for some reason, when I set my Windows audio to more than it, REAPER does not produce sound and shows "audio device closed". Maybe, my laptop doesn't support more than 16-bit & 44100 Hz? But still, it shows 24-bit & 48000 Hz.

Question: Is it true that people who are good in mathematics, are also generally good in coding & music? Also, I see some similarities between music & coding (and maths)

Reply on January 8 2023, 1:06am:

not sure, there are probably examples that are consistent with that and examples that are not... There's probably a mathy-style of code/music vs the less-mathy-style? I'm not great at math btw. 3 Comments...

Question: Assuming you're a rich person, is that why Reaper costs as much as it does? And if you weren't a rich person, would that affect the pricing of Reaper? Many kind regards!

My personal finances have very little to do with REAPER's pricing at this point! 17 years ago I had a lot of room to experiment which was good, but very soon after it became self-sustaining. 1 Comment...

Question: Do-while loop at least do it for one time, then check for condition. I want the opposite of it. I want a loop for my code, and don't want to execute it for the first time, but then I want to execute them for second, third, fourth, and so on... iterations (until a condition is satisfied). How can I do that?

Question: ive really been meaning to find out : are there any disadvantages to have signals going over 0 db in a mix with 64 floating point precision?
Asked by mike s (173.70.39.x) on January 5 2023, 3:04am
Reply on January 6 2023, 4:27am:

Not unless those signals get sent to a plug-in which behaves differently above 0dB... but in general no you can run at -100dB or +100dB it doesn't matter. 1 Comment...

Question: What's the practical usage of private and public classes in C++/C#? I mean, why we want to hide or show them?

It’s not as much about hiding complexity as it is about enforcing the use of the recommended interface. E.g. keep the calling code from mistakenly using the internal implementation details… Comment...

Question: I mix broadcast mix for church entirely in Reaper through Dante, pre fader listen is a console feature that i love to be on Reapper solo button options to a specific bus (3/4) so that (1/2) would not be unharmed by solo button! Hope so this update adds soon

Reply on January 2 2023, 10:54pm:

Separate solo buses is something we've thought about -- as a workaround now, you could set up pre-fader hardware outputs from your tracks which would always run... but then you'd be mixing on all of the hardware output sends which might be a bit meh Comment...
