Question: What is Cockos' secret to not stepping on each others toes in the forum, or when developing software? Asked by James (68.225.40.x) on June 13 2010, 3:56am Reply on June 13 2010, 8:09pm: I think it's easy when you pretty much have the best job in the world, or feel like you do.. That and being polite and always considering that you might be wrong.. all good skills. Comment... Question: hehe, too much free time today, so here's another question: can you make the music you host a torrent file? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on June 11 2010, 10:21pm Reply on June 11 2010, 10:27pm: Why, does it not download fast enough from my web site? the .torrent would likely be useless, since you'd be the only one downloading it... Comment... Question: The nifty graphical representations in ReaFIR/ReaEQ/ReaXcomp are opengl or lice? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on June 11 2010, 9:20pm Reply on June 11 2010, 9:35pm: LICE. Pretty much everything we do (graphically) uses LICE heh. The about screen uses LICE + Plush2... Comment... Question: How long did i take the 3 of you to develop Licecap? Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on June 11 2010, 8:11am Reply on June 11 2010, 3:43pm: About a month, of course we spent a small fraction of our time on it. Most of that was spent designing LCF, octree palette generation, and getting the GIF writing optimized. Comment... Question: "Not really, but I'd never say never, heh..." - I hope you'll find strength to do it in v4, it could really give R a pro look! Asked by EvilDragon (88.207.79.x) on June 10 2010, 5:33am Reply on June 11 2010, 3:44pm: Noted. ;) Comment... Question: How'd you finance Nullsoft to get it off the ground? Or was it basically just so you at the beginning? Asked by roberttheiii (71.235.42.x) on June 9 2010, 9:21am Reply on June 9 2010, 10:54am: It started as me living with my parents, programming for fun :) Comment... Question: What's the recipe for a kick ass (reaper like) windows divider/splitter? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on June 8 2010, 11:58pm Reply on June 9 2010, 8:50am (edited at June 9 2010, 10:55am): Hmm, well for the resizing of children you might want to look at WDL's wingui/wndsize.h... Then, if you want to make it user resizeable, you could paint your own control in the right place, and if a WM_LBUTTONDOWN happens there, SetCapture(), handle WM_MOUSEMOVE, etc. Comment... Question: reaAPI: is action_help_t reserved for future use ? what is your overall feeling about open-sourced extension code ? some tips ? Asked by frenchos (141.11.254.x) on June 8 2010, 7:44am Reply on June 9 2010, 8:49am: Yeah afaik it hasn't been finished. I'm all for open source extensions.. Have you looked at the SWS/Xenakios extension? It is open, so you can see how it is done there... Comment... Question: Any plans on making absolutely every GUI element of Reaper skinnable (ie checkboxes, dropdowns, FX , Env, I/O, Action list...)? Asked by EvilDragon (89.172.25.x) on June 7 2010, 11:37pm Reply on June 9 2010, 8:47am: Not really, but I'd never say never, heh... Comment... Question: When coding with WaitForSingleObject, do you prefer waiting INFINITE-ly or just giving a time-out value? Asked by dave (222.90.231.x) on June 6 2010, 7:17pm Reply on June 6 2010, 8:25pm: Usually I either wait INFINITE or I wait for a certain amount of time (say, 10ms, but that of course depends on the context) and check the return value to see if it is WAIT_OBJECT_0. Comment... Question: Who codes what for Reaper? Does someone work on larger features for major releases while another person does the smallerupdates? Asked by Ryan (96.49.43.x) on June 6 2010, 5:38pm Reply on June 6 2010, 8:27pm: We all do pretty much everything, though Christophe does most video related things. There is no division based on complexity of feature, though we do informally pick our tasks based on relative expertise and code familiarity. Having said that, most features end up having had multiple people worked on them, as we all try to use REAPER and make sure that changes/addition fit in with our visions of the program... Comment... Question: Just on the cat thing, do you think you'll add a Frankel Junior (or Juniorette) to the family in the future ? Asked by Barney (150.101.96.x) on June 5 2010, 11:46pm Reply on June 6 2010, 9:49am: No. :) Comment... Question: 100522-chrtodd.mp3 @28mins MGMT-Kids Awesome! Thanks for the free goods man!

Edit: ok actually here's from typingtest.com on the "rules of baseball" test: I guess I save 6 hours a week! Woohoo! Comment... Question: Dude, these new tracks aren't shabby man I will dl. The last 10+mins of Wiener went good with your car pics cruising SF haha Asked by AnalSeducer (71.142.83.x) on June 4 2010, 4:13pm Reply on June 4 2010, 10:57pm: Dave Wiener is a genius. Comment... Question: Any thoughts on the possibility of "Google music" - you guessed, it a free music site by Google?

Question: Hey Justin, how have you been man? I got done reading 'With The Old Breed' it made me feel free. What books are you reading?

I think I got my 2 in 1997 or so, so 13 years and counting, no problems with any of them. Comment... Question: I d/l a cd-rip which seems quiet. mp3gain claims it's -90dB. Other "louder" mp3s also show -90dB. How could that be? Asked by John (24.234.128.x) on June 2 2010, 3:29pm Reply on June 2 2010, 4:08pm: Is the -90dB value the "noise floor"? I'm not too familiar with mp3gain, but generally if -90dB was the peak value, it would be pretty much inaudible. Comment... Question: with a cat companion... are you insinuating that you're having marital problems? Asked by poop (67.88.171.x) on June 2 2010, 10:18am Reply on June 2 2010, 10:56am (edited at June 2 2010, 11:01am): I meant the addition of a cat to the family. :) Comment...
