Question: hi jf hope you're having a good week. in 2021 (askjf.com/index.php?q=5961s you said that the jsfx source would be lgpl'd eventually. did this ever happen? if not, can we still expect it to happen eventually?

    Still planning to, keep finding stuff in it that is just too ugly, and there are some already-open-source alternatives that are pretty cool anyway. so not in a big hurry.

Question: Do you have any plans to add something similar to the Matrix View that is in Sonar? It is a very useful compositional tool and I'm sure you could make it even more functional than the Sonar version.

    I've been practicing crying, we'll see if it will come in handy. (just kidding). I'm afraid to watch that movie though. maybe in a few months.

Question: What's one Reaper feature you personally want, but haven't gotten around to tackling yet for whatever reason, and why not?
Asked by Chris (173.70.123.x) on November 4 2024, 6:46pm
Reply on November 4 2024, 7:58pm:
    Pre-receive sends (meaning track media and record input would get sent, but received from other tracks and child tracks would not). Would allow doing tidy routing of multiple midi tracks to a sampler and have their outputs process on the same track as the midi. Haven’t done it yet because it will require a bunch of tricky changes to not break multiprocessing.

    also: having track FX process while prebuffering playback start. Huge tricky can of worms that will require fixing dozens of corner cases/code psths.

Question: Hi Justin, I just wanted to ask, not about the successes you've had, instead, if you could go back and do it again what would be the thing you would avoid doing?

Question: Are you the one that coded the js wah-wah in Reaper, it sounds awesome. I was able to edit it by adding spl1 to make the effect fully wet. It seems like when it comes to spectral effects, vst can't compete with jsfx. Not exaggerating but it's something I have noticed that small jsfx code as eq or to adjust the tone of an audio sounds better than most vsts I tried. This wah-wah effect I'm asking you about is an example.

    IIRC I did but that was like 20 years ago.. anyway that would be easy to do as a VST it's some very basic DSP code. Glad you like it at any rate!

    Hmm maybe a sea-bird that can both fly and swim underwater? that would be pretty rad. Or a Godwit that can fly across the world without stopping, I do love some endurance sports.

Question: do you consider you've been working faster these last years? As in I've seen you guys fix and implement some things to REAPER so quick I wonder if you guys even rest haha or it is that you know your code and style and needs so well it's been easier to implement stuff? The new render window is incredible, also some crossfade thing I just saw, so yeah, you've been on a roll! So cool that you love this proyect as much :D

Question: Hi Justin, a musician here :) I wanted to ask if there is any way to make super 8 be able to play midi files? So that for instance you insert different midi drum loops and that trigger a vst. Second question: I'd really would love to collaborate with you just for fun on some music, how can I get in touch with you musically (my email is danielj.golden.official@gmail.com). Ps don't worry that email has the biggest spam filter possible and is my main music email :)
