Playtime is the closed-source part of Helgobox. The technique it uses is indeed PlayTrackPreview, with a custom-made PCM_source implementation that delivers the correct audio and MIDI depending on the playing clips and its positions. Not too difficult to make the basics work. But a lot of effort to turn it into a polished and performant piece of software (in my experience at least).

It's (I think partly at least) open source: github.com/helgoboss/helgobox
- Posted by Justin on May 9 2025, 3:10pm in 7674:
it would be very complex, probably need PlayTrackPreview, make copies of the PCM_source from items, etc, too much to describe here

Yes, like that. The question is then basically how to recreate that behavior in code. What would be the API to build that from scratch in a custom extension?

it adds latency and that gets reported as PDC, yeah. forum is good for this stuff

Thanks so much! I didn’t realize playback runs through the media buffer. That explains why latency isn’t an issue during conversion :-D But for FX Instance/Chain Oversampling, does it behave like typical plugin oversamplers? Does it add latency reported via PDC? I couldn’t confirm from REAPER’s performance meter. I thought this was just a small DSP question, so I didn’t post on the forum. Sorry if it’s too REAPER-specific. Thanks again!

@ Todd_r thanks for the library, is it not these libraries that sometimes makes a plugin incompatible with latest version of Reaper and you have to be using compatibility lib workaround? If using it will be once and for all like I wouldn't need to do any adjustments to the plugin in the future, that will be great.

Sorry, will do, just to be clear here, say I use " º " as an action shortcut and " ª " for another, they are both the same key on my board. " º " is normal " ª " is with shift, so I bind both for different stuff right? on some sessions every now and then it suddenly doesn't detect it as solely " ª " but as " shift+ª " both detecting the result and the modifier as if I was applying it to the result too, so this makes the " ª " useless and I have to re-bind the new "shift+ª" off and on... does it make sense?

then something is different; audio output subsystem (e.g. using ASIO or WASAPI exclusive mode will sound different than WASAPI shared or WaveOut etc), different samplerate, different pan law (this one sneaks up on people), etc. if done right, any DAW should send a bit-for-bit copy of the stereo file to the output. If it sounds different at that point, then it's placebo.

Thanks for the answer. How much RAM do you have in your MBA? I was originally considering a Ryzen 7 ThinkPad (T14), because for the same price of an MBA M4 16GB, 256GB, I can get a 32-64GB, 1-2TB ThinkPad (and I can run Linux in parallel). Not sure which of those would be faster, though. But maybe getting the lower speced M4 is enough and I could indeed consider getting a Ryzen desktop in addition (I was first also considering to get the Mac Mini in addition to the ThinkPad, so basically the other way aroun

Wow, that's encouraging. I will look at the code. However, I just realised that it's not important to make the limiter true peak because Reaper has fx instance oversampling. I just tried 4x oversampling on the jsfx limiters and all of them now catches the intersample peaks. You did a brilliant job with that fx and chain oversampling in Reaper.

Cool. The reason for asking is that almost all the developers who tried to create a true peak limiter failed to make the ceiling catch intersample peaks. They all overshoot. I tried it and mine also works about 60%, u drive it harder and it also overshoot. The sonic anomaly guy couldn't implement true peak when he made his unlimited limiter as a jsfx. So I assumed it might be a limitation of the jsfx language???

I also got obsessed with this thing (choosing between software), and I ultimately decided to go with Blockbench, since it fullfill my needs. You can either go with one, both can do the same work, just different workflow. Spend entire day just with these two software and see whose workflow suits you more. This also goes for DAWs since many people (even my past version) was obsessed with choosing the 'best' DAW. Since REAPER fulfills my needs, I chose this.

...not in the initial run of the script? If it's not possible, would it be possible to add some kind of hint? Or even better, setting gfx.ext_retina=-1 overrides all scaling of the window including gfx.init() as well?
- Posted by Mespotine (176.6.142.x) on January 14 2025, 8:20pm in 7526:
My current approach is the following: In the initial run of the script, I set gfx.ext_retina=1. Then I open the window, which will be twice the size and therefore too big for my 1x-scaling, so I need to make it half the size. But only in the first defer-cycle, gfx.ext_retina is set to 2 which gives me a hint that Retina is active. However, I would have needed to know in the initial run as well, so I can make the window half the size right away, but I can do it only in the first defer-cycle, not in the initi

I have tested the approach and setting gfx.ext_retina=1 scales now properly. However, gfx.init() still blows up the window size by 2, so I need now a way to make the window half the size so it's scaled properly with my gui. And here's a problem: I can't find out, if Retina is active in the initial, non-deferred script-run, only in the first defer-cycle.

Oh, I thought + means you have added a new feature, and - seems like you have removed a feature lol

If only someone cared as you and had a bit of connections and a bit of power to create something like that 🫣👀 honestly, I know you wouldn't but if you even thought about it I'd think you'd be the perfect person to create or push on something like that.

Compared to other DAWs, the price of Reaper is attractive (I've seen many plugins that cost more), especially considering the capabilities it offers (including frequent updates and taking user needs into account, which is not typical in the industry), and even then, the full license of Reaper is still appealing. You can always use Ardour if financial issues are a concern.

No, from a legal standpoint, everything you create after 60 days will have a legal flaw. Probably no one will enforce this, which is why there is such a belief, as Reaper likely has a regular influx of paying users and doesn't need to waste time on people who abuse the terms.

the reality is that it's free to use for life, isn't it?

I mean, it wouldn't hurt to try, and you never know what would happen lol.

Probably yes, will check this out. Thanks :)

If you set gfx.ext_retina=1 and then subsequently ignore it, on macOS retina displays everything will be tiny and high resolution. is that what you mean?

So, if I understand correctly, it's not possible to turn Retina-support off? I basically just want to have on all systems the same behavior as on non-Retina systems.

but CLAP has extra advantage of being open source, so it is not locked to one company (like VST is to Steinberg)

@nico There's a script for that: "leafac_Explode multistream (multitrack) media file to new one-stream (one-track) media files.lua" by Leandro Facchinetti. I used it once and it worked great.

Can Reaper support such a function? Or is it possible to use Reaper to call ffmpeg to complete the operation?
- Posted by Justin on January 1 2025, 9:05pm in 7522:
I tend to agree, though it is a convenient dividing line... so for example I might say "I want to walk+run more miles this year than last"... but that's more of a goal than a resolution.
- Posted by Justin on January 1 2025, 7:44pm in 7521:
if you do it only once (or when the parameter list changes), no big deal. you probably want the param name and the other data to save in your list too

I don't believe in new year resolutions. New year is nothing but just a date, a normal date like all other dates. If you want to do some things, why making resolutions instead of actually doing it? 😅

I enumerate param ids using vst3Controller->getParameterInfo() within a loop. but it also copies param name and other data. Is it avoidable?

Please give Xenforo a look. The migration from vbulletin isn't too bad either.

Mespotine is spot on, well said. People just ignore the effort required to make things. Windows programming was in prime time after 10-15 years of development from some of the best engineers in the market at that time. It's old but full-featured and complete for a traditional experience with a computer. Those development times for companies are long gone nowadays, with a few exceptions of course...

I once requested gfx.saveimage() to be able to do exactly that 😅

And it's also an accessibility issue. The "fancier" the guis are, the more unusable they become for blind, visually impaired or even neurodivergent people. Not everyone is abled. Traditional ui-elements might be boring, but do a good job, especially nowadays for people needing accessibility.
