Question: Q1. What's the reason why did you choose C++ for developing REAPER? Why not any other language? Q2. If Visual Studio adds a feature of converting languages into any other, in which language you want to convert all your codes into?
Asked by Abhi (27.58.1.x) on January 13 2023, 9:52am
Reply on January 13 2023, 9:47pm:
    It was what was available and what I was used to. If there was a C++ to rust converter I'd probably take a look at that output.

    Never got around to that and who burns CDs these days? Anyway you can write a bin/cue then burn with whatever software you like.

Question: Why EQ has more dB than spectrum? imgur.com/E66muAJ

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

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)
Asked by Abhi (122.161.9.x) on January 7 2023, 5:49pm
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.

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!
Asked by gideonstar (79.193.219.x) on January 7 2023, 11:05am
Reply on January 7 2023, 3:56pm:
    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.

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?

    Sounds like you want a normal while loop?

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.

    I've definitely had better experiences with a small office (sole proprietor) CPA. I'm sure it depends on who you find, though...

Question: What's the practical usage of private and public classes in C++/C#? I mean, why we want to hide or show them?
Asked by Abhi (182.69.107.x) on January 3 2023, 9:48am
Reply on January 3 2023, 1:00pm:
    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…
