Comment... Question: Have you found a deep sense of meaning and purpose in what you do? I have come to realize the importance of this. Asked by ascetic (98.48.125.x) on July 12 2025, 9:47am Reply on July 14 2025, 2:34am: in a way, maybe? I find things that are very enjoyable and satisfying and are helpful to other people, and maybe that's enough. Comment... Question: "Hello, I plugged my headphones into my computer, but I can't get the sound from Reaper to my headphones. I have to close and restart Reaper. Is this a bug?" Asked by nicoto (129.153.24.x) on July 11 2025, 3:59pm Reply on July 11 2025, 8:57pm: Not the right venue, but need a lot more information, probably not a bug. Comment...

Asked by steve (104.60.90.x) on July 9 2025, 7:05pm Reply on July 10 2025, 7:29pm: hmm not really but can't imagine that would work well for audio stuff. in general I am weary of software with lots of external dependencies that end up being updated without the developer's careful curation. Comment... Question: yo, I'm planning on making the source to one of my projects available, historically I would just use a copyleft license like GPL or MPL, I'd like to make my intention clear that I don't want my code used as training data for AI (even tho they will take it anyway), have you thought about this at all, time for a modified MPL/GPL? Asked by yoyo-ma (46.19.136.x) on July 9 2025, 5:15pm Reply on July 9 2025, 5:33pm: Good luck enforcing that :( 1 Comment...

Asked by Will (99.100.219.x) on July 7 2025, 4:48pm Reply on July 7 2025, 5:03pm: yeah been dealing with some bulging discs and stuff, grr, thankfully not very painful just nervy..

Asked by Chris (61.8.144.x) on July 6 2025, 9:30am Reply on July 6 2025, 3:08pm: hah I don't think so, I've projected a DGAF image for the last 20+ years which I think has taken 2 Comments... Question: Hi there. Do you know Everything? Its search speed is extremely fast. Have you ever considered integrating Everything with the search function of the media resource browser? Would that make the search extremely fast? Asked by doom (218.59.38.x) on July 5 2025, 3:57pm Reply on July 5 2025, 7:22pm: No and nah 1 Comment... Question: I don't recall ever hearing a president speak like this in public. It seems it's generally frowned upon when you hold a diplomatic position. Is it offensive? What do you think about this? (removed) Asked by Wondering (154.161.162.x) on July 4 2025, 9:26pm Reply on July 5 2025, 7:22pm: I'd prefer not to watch that (or link to it for that matter), thanks. 5 Comments... Question: You've probably been asked this before but how do you handle the media for this site? do you use in-house boxes for music storage etc and just relay traffic from public to your stuff via aws or something, or just fully use a cloud provider? Asked by yoyo-ma (146.70.126.x) on July 4 2025, 3:04pm Reply on July 4 2025, 3:48pm: all my gigs and gigs of mp3s exist on a NAS, which is mounted by NFS to a linux VM which runs the music.1014.org web server, which sits behind my cheapo FIOS at home. the main blog pages exist on a cloud instance, separate from that, since they have a relatively small amount of media. I could put them on that same home VM though, but it's on a dynamic IP and if I did that I couldn't point the domain name itself (without the www. etc) to it easily (music.1014.org is a CNAME to a short-TTL dns name that points to the dynamic IP). Comment... Question: Siendo tan bakan y teniendo tantos millones de usuarios de reaper en el mundo..¿Cuantas mujeres geeks del audio te han querido conocer desde winamp? Asked by chileno (186.79.201.x) on July 4 2025, 2:41am Reply on July 4 2025, 5:07am (edited at July 4 2025, 5:50am): lol we'll never know! Comment... Question: What made you add the built-in oversampling to REAPER? It's very rare on the DAW market? Also, is it something you found yourself needing for your plugins? Asked by Curious (102.176.65.x) on July 2 2025, 7:54pm Reply on July 2 2025, 8:52pm: I never use it in practice, but people wanted it and it seemed like a useful thing to support generically. Comment... Question: This "Mommy" guy here is hilarious with his questions. I learnt you also like playfully messing with people? Asked by Loool (102.176.65.x) on July 2 2025, 5:56pm Reply on July 2 2025, 8:52pm: The quality of my response is highly correlated with the perceived quality of the question Comment... Question: What feature(s) is REAPER still missing? Asked by Chris (95.90.212.x) on July 2 2025, 3:28pm Reply on July 2 2025, 4:54pm: shrug, I dunno, a lot I'm sure 1 Comment... Question: Hi Justin! Please advise. Is it possible to update the newly created jsfx for TakeFX_AddByName via reascript or c++ extension? Asked by Anthony (92.54.248.x) on June 29 2025, 8:23pm Reply on July 1 2025, 5:40pm: hmm no clean way, let me see if I can add that. 1 Comment... Question: I subscribed to the main RSS feed (1014.org/rss.php. Is there some other feed I can subscribe to so I get only the blog posts, but not the music? Or should I do that manually via some kind of filtering? Asked by someone (62.227.179.x) on June 29 2025, 8:09pm Reply on July 1 2025, 5:38pm: sure, https://1014.org/rss.php?music=0 1 Comment...
