Screenshot of a Twitter post by @sirocyl: “what’s a good hex editor - preferably for windows - for annotating structs and stuff? I’d normally use audacity but I figure there’s gotta be something better for this.” Attached to the post is a screenshot of Audacity showing two tracks, one of a binary file being interpreted as audio, zoomed-in at the sample level where individual bits can be edited, and a label track with labels such as “IMGDATA_MAGIC”, “IMGDATA_FILE_NAME (1)”, “Width (1)” and “Height (1)”.


I was of course joking. One of the main guys at Cockos that develops Reaper is Justin Frankel the man behind Gnutella, Winamp and Shoutcast and a few other fun projects, so I’d expect them to still be ahead for a little while.
