02:40 - Q1 Patryk
Why is this recorded in such high resolution if you use only 1/4 of screen, I cant watch this on my phone and learn 😔
A - watch on a computer for best results

04:30 - Q2 Jesper
What techniques do you use to fuel your creative spark? I feel like we talk too much about using the right compressor, while all that really matters is writing great songs.
A - watching others' workflow, challenges, buying gear

Do you think REAPER will ever get a channel/sample rack like in FL, Ableton, and Bitwig?
A - probably not. Sampler workflow improvements in v5.40

It looks like the only way to add metadata to a file is through the media explorer. Did I understand correctly?
A - media explorer tags are only to help search inside the media explorer. To tag wavs use BWF MetaEdit. To tag mp3s use KID3.

What's your thoughts on Reaper SWS and do you use it?
