Question: hey jf- do you have powers to *unban the banned* on reaper forum? (asking for a very confused friend!)

Question: By your experience, how often did you have to reinstall Linux from scratch, because of unexpected issues (corrupted system, slowdowns etc.)? Does Linux installation have "lifespan", like Windows, for example??? I mean, do things happen or change without any obvious reason on Linux, causing issues? Asked by zabukowski (95.176.130.x) on September 6 2023, 11:14am Reply on September 7 2023, 2:16pm: Not often, sometimes if you let a distro get very behind you run into problems upgrading to newer releases, but rarely is it something that is not recoverable. Comment... Question: Was nullsoft ever hacked back in the day when you guys managed your own infra, or was fdc just that good? Asked by Will (23.125.224.x) on September 5 2023, 2:43pm Reply on September 5 2023, 3:53pm: Not that I know of! Comment... Question: Do you think of REAPER as the punk DAW? In comparison with the other companies? Maybe the hacker of DAWs? Asked by EternoReterno (187.201.243.x) on September 5 2023, 3:41am Reply on September 5 2023, 3:53pm: haha maybe there's a little bit of that vibe... Comment...

Question: How likely would it be to see something like Licecap integration in Reaper? Or Audio capture from Reaper in Licecap?

Question: Out of curiosity: as far as I know, the gfx-functions are software rendered. How feasible would it be to make them hardware rendered? Especially when drawing a lot, hardware acceleration would be nice to have. Asked by Mespotine (46.114.201.x) on August 30 2023, 5:57pm Reply on August 30 2023, 9:43pm: Meh should be fast enough for plenty of things imo. and some things just don't work well on GPUs without a massive headache, e.g. drawing text. Comment... Question: Looking at things like Line 6, Kemper, etc., do you think you've been just that bit too early with the CrusFX?

Question: The internet today feels very different from 2009. What do you miss from that time if anything? This place feels like a protected endangered species of cool internet stuff. Maybe I need to get out of the loop more often, how do you do it? Asked by Beto (187.189.101.x) on August 26 2023, 5:37am Reply on August 26 2023, 12:43pm: I forget what 2009 was like in general but there's a lot of content now that's not terribly web-accessible and thus ephemeral, and requires you to buy into the system to view (IG, TikTok, etc)... Which is sad, all of this culture probably won't be preserved. 1 Comment... Question: hey jf- was you aware "breakdancing" is to be included in next years olympics? .. does that interest you at all? (we always loved this form of movement think this was well overdue!)

Question: Do you have any songs where the lyrics are easy to understand? It all sounds like Radiohead Asked by Jesse (74.105.72.x) on August 24 2023, 3:48pm Reply on August 24 2023, 5:30pm: Understand as in transcribe the words or as in understand the meaning? 4 Comments... Question: Hi! I'm exploring how to become a 1 or 2 man band with Reaper. For guitar I'm interested in routing to an FRFR active cab, and I'm curious whether I can also route a bass to the same cab if it's a 2x12 instead of 1x12. For drums, I have a single loud speaker for an e-drum set and I'll probably start with that. Do you have any opinions to share on this? I'm also curious what you're using for your guitar tones in Not Vampires. It sounds great! Asked by Chip (130.41.86.x) on August 23 2023, 2:40pm Reply on August 24 2023, 5:33pm: I don't know much about active cabs... For passive cabs, many 2x12 cabs will have separate inputs for each speaker, optionally, though they'll often be specific about the impedance in this case. Anyway I think you'll have a lot of options! For the NV sessions we have a couple of amps we use, a Fender Hotrod Deluxe I think, and a ZT Lunchbox (with a cheapo Bugera cab)... and some pedalboards :) 2 Comments... Question: Hey man! How are you doing? Hows your life since winamp dropped? Asked by Dejan (212.8.253.x) on August 23 2023, 8:29am Reply on August 24 2023, 5:33pm: Hah it goes too fast! Comment... Question: Do you have any suggestions on how to detect a doorbell ring sound on an ESP32 microcontroller with a microphone module? Asked by Jesse (74.105.72.x) on August 22 2023, 1:52am Reply on August 22 2023, 12:57pm (edited at August 22 2023, 12:58pm): Probably do a windowed FFT and look for a lot of activity in the frequency bin that corresponds with the bell, and see if it's above a certain threshold above the sum of the rest of the bins? Alternatively you could multiply the signal with a sinewave and cosinewave of the doorbell frequency, summing, and look for a large sum of absolute values there, or something... Comment...
