Question: Hi, please why did you call it "Jesusonic"? I learnt you are not religious but that name sounds religious. Also, do you hate religious beliefs?

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. 1 Comment...

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.

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! 1 Comment...

Question: hey jf- do you run the same routes..or..keep it rather random? (any special nature routes you like 2do?)

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. 1 Comment...
