Question:
Software architecture for multi-threaded GUI: back when you were designing REAPER projects would it make sense performance-wise for a threaded msg_loop where its thread was associated with an instance of main dialog? Leaving ``tab switch'' to the operating system similar to how IE was working back then.

Multithreading UI seems completely unnecessary to me and would make things a lot more difficult!

hey jf- so decimals.. if we use a calculator to show a monetary value of 1cent or penny (0.01) & multiply that by itself...why do we get a "lower" value than we began with? (answers on a postcard please!) LOL

Question:
What's your opinion on the trend towards closed ecosystems, especially "hub apps" in music tech like Native Access, Splice, UVI Workstation and all the DRM management stuff?
Asked by SpoiledHobo (77.12.4.x) on March 6 2024, 1:46pm
Reply on March 6 2024, 6:54pm:
Big thumbs down, obviously. Computers should be about giving power and flexibility to the users. This is part of why I'm very anti-app-store when it comes to distribution.

Question:
If you compare the past and present, how has the process of making software known worldwide changed? Winamp was known worldwide back then. Did it work by word of mouth? And has that changed with Reaper? Greetings
Asked by Stefan (84.160.46.x) on March 6 2024, 9:15am
Reply on March 6 2024, 6:55pm:
Hard to say, I think good stuff spreads by word of mouth, just takes time. REAPER's userbase has grown a lot more slowly than Winamp's did, probably because it has taken a lot longer to develop, came to a market that was both a lot smaller and already very full of other DAWs. If you make a great app that does something new that a lot of people want to do, I imagine it won't take long to find a lot of users.

There's probably an option to use the old bitmapped font in there somewhere

there is very little javascript in the askjf site, the common header code at the top of this has a tiny bit, that's about it I think?

not sure what "the internal version of iPlug" would be. The Rea* plugins in REAPER don't use iPlug.

Reunion Tours (this time - Kaizers Orchestra): yay or nay, "I wanna see it again" or "It's never be going to be as good as it was"?

Don't know them, but I did see a Temple of the Dog reunion show when they were on tour and it was amazing. Though I was exhausted (unrelated to the show) and didn't stay for the encore, which I later regretted.

What your thoughts on Caustic 3? I used to make cool sounds on it using the synthesizers that it came with. It's a neat application. Now I use Reaper.

It's probably on the forum somewhere... try holding down a modifier key and then doing things with the mouse, maybe?
