Question: Brice and White Tie working on Reaper 4 GUI... mmmmmm... If only... ;_; Asked by Juicy (78.0.77.x) on November 9 2010, 4:55am Reply on November 9 2010, 8:05pm: Some of that is the case. Comment... Question: How many questions have you got so far? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on November 8 2010, 12:57pm Reply on November 8 2010, 2:01pm: This is #975, I think (the permalink shows the question number in the URL). Comment... Question: Do you know of anyone famous/commercial who uses Reaper to produce their music? Asked by Alex (129.234.252.x) on November 8 2010, 3:42am Reply on November 8 2010, 12:52pm: Hmm can't think of any super famous/commercial artists that I've heard from (though I'd imagine they are out there somewhere). Some big TV and radio people do use it though. Comment... Question: Surprised vis never incorporated album artwork. Any ideas how to do that in AVS and make it look slick? Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on November 7 2010, 10:55am Reply on November 8 2010, 12:52pm: There would be some simple integration work to do that, then you could either provide it to a special render step, or maybe blend it into the image or something, I dunno. Comment... Question: Which database should I peak for a heavy duty job --- MySQL or PostgreSQL? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on November 6 2010, 6:41pm Reply on November 8 2010, 12:53pm: Probably depends on a lot of factors.. I do know that how you interface the database is probably as important as the actual database you use. Optimizing, mmm. Comment... Question: I wonder what programs you use your wallpaper desktop theme etc. Can you post a screenshot of your desktop? Asked by Rad_ (94.54.68.x) on November 6 2010, 3:19am Reply on November 8 2010, 12:53pm: Stock Win7 theme desktop, and random icons on there. Comment... Question: Does this make you squirm? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2XLoQ1xYB0 Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 5 2010, 4:53pm Reply on November 8 2010, 12:53pm: I didn't watch more than a few seconds, heh. Comment... Question: Have a safe trip back from England :) Were you able to get a view like this while you were there? bit.ly/bdHBrR Asked by AnalSeducer (66.87.1.x) on November 5 2010, 10:18am Reply on November 8 2010, 12:53pm (edited at November 8 2010, 12:54pm): Mmmm.... Comment... Question: I almost forgot how fun it is to buy CD's & opening them - something physical. Do u buy CDs still? Or mostly DL? P.S. Vodka :) Asked by AnalSeducer (66.87.2.x) on November 4 2010, 11:13pm Reply on November 8 2010, 12:54pm: I buy CDs when I can, but some things are hard to find (like that Tame Impala EP). I do like the Vinyl+MP3 purchase option, too. Comment... Question: Are you annoyed with auto-updates in software? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on November 4 2010, 8:11pm Reply on November 4 2010, 9:55pm: (I think I read a rant on this on virtualdub) -- I dont like things updating without asking, or forcing an update before things can work, for sure. Getting let know that updates are available = good; getting railroaded into installing them = bad. Comment... Question: disregard my question I asked on your blog then.. Are you allowed to drink red wine? Its good for you 'supposedly' Asked by AnalSeducer (66.87.8.x) on November 4 2010, 6:57pm Reply on November 4 2010, 9:54pm: That usually makes me head hurt too. Wow I'm a pansy. Comment... Question: Why have you forsaken me? Asked by Beer (98.108.138.x) on November 4 2010, 10:59am Reply on November 4 2010, 9:54pm: I love you beer! REALLY! but you make my stomach hurt most of the time, and my head hurt some of the time, so it's not worth it anymore. Vodka and Gin are more reliable. Comment... Question: What is your favorite beer? Do you prefer light or dark beer? Asked by asafonov (83.149.3.x) on November 3 2010, 11:05pm Reply on November 4 2010, 10:51am: I've had to stop drinking them, unfortunately, but my favorites include MGD, Newcastle, and Guinness (depending on mood/weather). I don't really like pale ales or Belgian beers. Comment... Question: Re: sorry, not the screen - just the window. Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on November 3 2010, 9:58pm Reply on November 4 2010, 10:50am: For dialogs this ends up being an enormous pain, I'm afraid. :/ Comment... Question: think a vim-like interface might be cool for REAPER? seen the vimperator interface for Firefox? (ok I know that's a two-fer...) Asked by semiquaver (76.173.102.x) on November 2 2010, 1:35pm Reply on November 3 2010, 7:46pm: Haha maybe, but not sure how much it makes sense for audio. I'll check out vimperator. Comment... Question: Using .onResize(rec->hwnd) in WM_MOUSEMOVE for user resizable components and the screen flickers. Any idea? Asked by _gio (62.103.65.x) on November 2 2010, 11:22am Reply on November 3 2010, 7:46pm: The whole screen or just the window? Comment... Question: So that we can learn vicariously through someone who has used subversion, why is GIT a better starting point for vc? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 2 2010, 10:51am Reply on November 3 2010, 7:49pm: The biggest advantage is that Git actually works for complex situations. SVN is great if you do very linear development, but the moment you are working in multiple branches and need to continually keep them up to date with respect to eachother, it either fails miserably or is a huge pain. Git, on the other hand, will let you trivially merge and remerge updates from a branch into another branch. We do this pretty much every day at this point. In SVN it would be a nightmare (and we'd avoid the situation to begin with). Other advantages of Git include being INSANELY faster, having the entire repository local (for backup and quick searching/checkouts/etc), smaller backup sizes (our repository in SVN was 450MB after being compressed, in Git it is 170mb without needing to use an external compressor), etc. Comment... Question: vim or emacs ever/much ? Asked by semiquaver (76.173.102.x) on November 2 2010, 7:59am Reply on November 2 2010, 8:31am: vim whenever I'm not using vc6's IDE. Emacs never, or only on accident. Comment... Question: Did you ever program your TI calculator? Asked by Will (24.234.128.x) on November 1 2010, 4:55pm Reply on November 2 2010, 8:32am: Yes, but only in it's built-in language (the fancy stuff involved writing assembly and copying it to the device via the pc cable, which I never really did) Comment... Question: what are you driving these days? Asked by blowery (24.25.141.x) on November 1 2010, 10:45am Reply on November 1 2010, 12:39pm: Not driving much lately. When I do it's either a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 cargo van, or a 2006 Audi A3. Comment... [newer questions] [unreplied] | [replied] | [recent comments] | [all] [older questions]
