the obvious solution is to allow jsfx to build a hierarchy of controls exposed via IAccessible/NSAccessibility, but that would be a bunch of work for both JSFX and for the plug-ins…

Use AI and get Midi 2.0 into Reaper. Also get the Linux version to support pipewire... Those are tasks where an AI might be super useful. There are others as well... surely....

The problem with OP is that their comments aren't balanced. Far from being intimidated by AI, I'm the author of a time series forecasting engine using LSTM RNN (Transformers not applicable). So not anti AI at all.. But there is a bucket load of slop being generated that has no place in a professional stance. Take it easy OP, have a nice sit down :-)

Have you ever let AI review code? Do it, it's great. You can have AI review contributions (possibly according to certain stipulations that you define). That can help you decide on what to include and to easily provide feedback on why not (yet) to include something.

If AI can make Reaper better and more powerful, then do it. People with ideological confusions can choose other software marked with non-AI, or use old versions from their socalled "good old days". Let them eat their old dogfood, if that's their fancy.

Where I work, we push hard to do good work. AI has enabled solutions that I could honestly not have done myself. Not because I'm lazy or have no skills or proven track-record. But because the AI gave insight that really helped tackle complex problems, that allowed solutions that would otherwise not exist. But y'all can stay simplistic positivists, and keep telling yourselves that your limited mileage extrapolates to all domains and tasks.

I have yet to come across a real argument for not using AI, or even whining about its use, if one is an experienced programmer. See my context above (link). Y'all nay-sayers have none.

Nicely said Eric. I work with a massive code base daily, fintech and trading in general, and the use of AI icode gen s very limited, to the point where we question its viability - takes longer to review and correct. I think the poster is likely a vibe coder, doesn't sound experienced. And with you, I really shouldn't be commenting, but the assumptions and apparent ignorance of that poster is galling.

"unchallenging tasks" is incredibly ironic given your obvious cognitive surrender, "claude, build me a moat - make no mistakes". And again, all of your assumptions are wrong. Last one from me, apolgies to Justin for contributing to this guy's spam on your blog and askjf page.

If you're against AI today, you are either not working on a complex codebase, or otherwise... you're working on your OWN codebase that you know like your back pocket... without any substantial complex visions. Either way... you probably have an outlook of grandeur on yourself while in reality smugly engaging in quite simple comfy unchallenging tasks. Good for you, but yes: you do not need AI

a nobody who's never seen a large complex codebase, adding his oneline of cheap inight. Ever done signal processing algorithms? Ever architecturally built up a large system? But yes, hello_world does not need AI. A worldview of simply using others' software (and whining about AI) is cheap.

clarification: ~ $40/month is for ~ $20 for claude and ~ $20 chatgpt/codex . I use both and let them crossreview etc. "before duration-use is taxed" -- I think that governments will find that the layoffs due to AI, will reduce income tax. But someone is still working - it's the AI. I wager that governments will start taxing it strongly to make up for their income tax reductions (probably taxing AI duration-use or similar).

Basically: YOU command it. Let it refactor its own attempts (with YOUR Input: concepts, coding style, architectural...) until it is good. Then have it write up your "rules" in a md file. YOU give the commands. The AI system follows.
- Posted by SoftwareDevGuy1 (92.209.x.y) on October 29 2026, 12:55pm in 8288:
You help the AI in the beginning: coding style, Explain some architectural concepts. Definitely have it create auto unit-tests. To avoid breakage of existing code. And then go and reap benefits

I agree with Will. Claude Opus 5.5 and also ChatGpt Codex Astra 6 are great. Justin: "missing the point of what it takes to make good software". The AI can code wavelet transforms and newest signal processing algorithms in under 5 minutes and you can explore. It can tackle complex tasks and make suggestions. ... It all depends on how YOU use it

Justin: "The better LLMs get at writing code, the more consolidation of wealth will occur, as independent software vendors will not be able to compete with the multinational megacorporations that control all of our infrastructure (read that essay). This will be a very not good thing. :/". Me: No. AI is the great equalizer: small independent developers can now compete
- Posted by SoftwareDevGuy1 (92.209.x.y) on October 29 2026, 12:07pm in 8305:
AI: ride the wave or get washed away. Today's AIs (Claude Opus 5.5, Codex Astra 6) code a complex filter in minutes instead of weeks of journal reading, so you can explore cutting-edge approaches in a day. AI is the great equalizer: small independent developers can now compete with big companies. Use it wisely: auto-generate unit tests to protect existing code, review results, cross-check with two AIs. Give it the feature you never dared attempt. $40/month is nothing. Start now, before duration-use is taxed

Justin using AI to help add support for a new ffmpeg version and this JSFX porting seem like two different worlds. So I wonder whether JSFX limitations amplified the issues, if there are any. No offense intended to Justin and the users. I know nothing about this. I'm just inferring this from logic.
- Posted by wastee (120.230.x.y) on October 27 2026, 8:06pm in 8303:
Allow me a brief digression. I notice many voices blame AI for issues such as performance and UI interaction. I don't mean AI won't cause such issues. But obviously, if these issues truly exist, they existed before AI arrived. I'm not trying to persuade anyone to support and use AI. I just think this controversy can be a chance to improve JSFX. hahaha. As an A/B comparison, assuming equal programming experience and review. In both AI-assisted scenarios, Justin using AI to help add support for a new ffmpeg

For some of us, it is really nice to see. Keep making REAPER future-rich, and continue to exercise your rightful liberty in determining which AI-assisted feature you will keep bundled with REAPER, like the ffmpeg support, the new JSFX ports. Keep it up, Justin.

I'm one of the annoying people who don't want AI to be used in Reaper because I care for it's long term maintainability but I'm thrilled by how you made JSFX for all these years and now we can reap the fruits of cleverly harnessing IA to make cool instruments. (Which don't affect Reaper's viability at all)
- Posted by Justin on October 26 2026, 2:23pm in 8300:
I'm also encouraging chmaha to make the code to those JSFX a bit more human-friendly.
- Posted by Justin on October 26 2026, 2:22pm in 8300:
While I don't like LLM-generated code, in general, and try to avoid using LLMs for such purposes, some of those JSFX are a lot of fun to use, especially the instruments. So pragmatism wins, a little bit. But I'm not intending to change our practices in general, allowing it in some JSFX is one thing.

As an aside, how do you align your convictions on AI (which I agree with) and including chmaha's AI-augmented ports in the REAPER installer? ("Claude Opus 5.x may have generated some of the port of this code" appearing in all .jsfx files)

In the Council of the EU, each member state has veto power, so it is the other way around that EU legislation can't be implemented without national ratification. Also, Sachs' notion that the NATO is to blame for Russian aggression is completely bonkers. Ukraine changed its law about non-alignment after 2014, for at the time very obvious reasons.

Brilliant! That's encouraging to hear. Thank you, Justin! Just for the record, we're not asking for ReaTune to evolve because we want a cheap alternative to Melodyne. Not at all! We're REAPER guys.

Maybe they'll remove bugs faster or improve performance even more, but I really hope they never incorporate big parts of gen AI code nor make the filesize bigger than 15MB. Will it be possible? I love Reaper thank you
- Posted by blllaa (77.205.x.y) on October 10 2026, 9:48am in 8288:
To me Reaper is a bunch of text files that compile to a very useful program, carefully maintained by a small of group of people I trust. It already does what I need and I'd be glad even if it stayed "frozen" as is it now. Sometimes there are new features which do improve it a bit (oh yes the new render window), sometimes even with AI assistance (ffmpegs options mess), but I don't see what else you expect from the Reaper team finally bowing to the AI Lord. Maybe they'll remove bugs faster or improve performa
- Posted by Justin on October 9 2026, 2:55pm in 8288:

hah ok - well I don't use Docker either, but it seems to be essentially a more robust "chroot"-type system, where you can isolate a bunch of processes and filesystems into the docker, to avoid having to change things system-wide. so it's sort of half way between running everything on the server, and running virtual machines on the server.

I look you up from time to time (former Winamp user) and today thought of that question. I shall continue to Google.

If you like goldwave, use Audacity

Got it. Thanks.

ah cool thanks for the link. for now see if the extension does what you want, fully

Yeah I really would appreciate some improvements in this area. I've not tried it yet, but here's the github: github.com/duanebeatzz/ReaperTrack...

(mostly for loudness, less for effect... for effect I'd use saturation more than a clipper, I think)
- Posted by Justin on August 23 2026, 3:18pm in 8244:
pretty much use ReaLimit instead

In the past, when did you grab it? When wanting to shave off peaks to maximise loudness or for the color they add??

I agree. Thanks for the info, it was interesting.

The biggest advantage of 24-bit of 16-bit is that you don't have to worry about getting the gain levels as right... if you record 16-bit and carefully get the levels right, you'd probably never run into issues as your room's noise floor is probably way above -90dB anyway?

It should be lossless, but you'll loose possibilities in the postproduction/mixing process when working with fx like compressor. So best is to stay with 24bit or higher for vocals, unless it's just for quick demo purposes. But even then, you might like the demo and would like to use it further and regret, you recorded it only in 16 bit.

Got it. Will add it to my docs. Thnx :)

@Andrey If the interface is 24(+) bit capable why would you record in 16 bit?
- Posted by Andrey (192.42.x.y) on August 21 2026, 7:20pm in 8243:
Hmm, and if the interface is 24-bit or even 32-bit float, but we record vocals in 16-bit, will there be losses when converting 16->64->16?
- Posted by Justin on August 21 2026, 11:42am in 8243:
either built-in audio hardware or USB etc, yeah. It could be 24-bit or 16-bit, or sometimes 32-bit float if very modern.
- Posted by Andrey (194.32.x.y) on August 21 2026, 7:17am in 8243:
Is the 24‑bit interface essentially any sound card or the audio controller built into the system board that supports 24‑bit recording?
- Posted by Justin on August 21 2026, 3:05am in 8243:
It comes in from the interface at 16-24 bit or (32bit float), then is converted to 64 bit float, then converted down to 24-bit integer. Note that if the interface is 24-bit, then the conversion from 24->64->24 is lossless.
