Chriss, as usual you are very helpful. It was just that one thing I was
having an issue with but I'm not now. The windows vs mac debate is a lot
because Darrell says that there's nobody locally that can teach him to use
sonar. Of course, I tried but then he goes Ew, you use the keyboard, I
don't understand anything that doesn't involve moving a mouse to it. And
then... ew, jaws displays things funny (always been a problem with sonar.
It doesn't look the same as when you don't run jaws. Then I'm like but if I
don't have jaws going how can I tell if you're where youi need to be or not?
Then we just get into that blind sighted argument. I'm sighted so my way is
better. Your way sucks. It carries over to life outside music too. I'm
trying to help my daughter with division so I pull out my good old reliable
abacus and work the problem explaining what I did... and she goes but Mom
the abacus doesn't make sense. Of course it doesn't. And it's been so long
since I tried to write one out in braille and wait that's not going to help
because she can't see what I am doing there either. There is a reason I
don't offer to tutor people in math!!
So Darrell wants to take classes locally and they only teach on macs at
guitar center. But I'm afraid I won't be able to use one of those because
of the screen reader issues, and switching back and forth between windows
and mac sounds like a royal pain. But there are a couple logistical reasons
that it would make sense to use a desktop. I could just leave the mo
plugged in at all times. Also everything is just right there. No battery
running out or whatever. Also could use the remote mode on the mo and have
sonar just up and running pretty much and if I understood you right before,
no hooking up through the damned audio box. Everything would just be
running through the computer and wired into the board and so on and so
forth. I could make some of the motif stuff talk. I need to get some
sample memory for that thing and learning to sequence would not be a bad
idea either.
I will figure it out eventually.

There are some video cards that don't work well with jaws and display
things irratically.
YOu can't change a display adapter in a laptop.
but I have had situations where I've had to switch out a display adapter
to make a screen-reader work better, and jaws is especially sensitive to
this sort of thing.

Wow, no comment Chriss. But fyi, I have gotten lots of stuff done, I just
don't need a lot to do what I do. That particular problem worked better
before I upgraded. Upgrading is good. But as I said although it's
something I'd like to figure out it's not stopping me from writing. I can
work around it. Mostly I fall into your second category, I'm happily
humming along and don't think a new computer would fix my problem. It
might fix other problems I haven't foreseen yet but I think that
particular problem is a settings issue. In defense of your argument
though, I have actually been contemplating the computer idea just for ease
of access, everything right there all the time. But more about that in
another post.

Hey Chad,
Ain't like that in this situation.
This woman can get what she wants,
she just hasn't gotten aggrevated enough yet, or it ain't important
enough to her.
So yes,
there are two sets of students I've dealt with,
the really poor folks who have to make due with what they got,
then the ones who can afford what they need,
and get it and are happily humming along,
and then the unexplainables
like my friend
who insists they can put a square peg in a round hole,
and make it work never mind getting any music done 'smile'.
YOu might get lucky and hit key combinations and get things to work
haphazardly,
but for the live of me,
I don't see why someone who could do better doesn't?
Maybe some folks like it,
kind of reminds me of the moth that keeps flying in to the window though.
And too bad, because she's fairly talented.
Ah well, takes all kinds.
Peace out.

way to play with it until you got it to work. Sometimes us little
people who can't aford the Higher priced stuff some times just have to
play around. I'm forst to use a lap top here myself. I'm actually very
grateful for what I have because It is way better than what I had
before.

Hey I figured out what the deal was with the insert send thing. I do
not know why this works or what it's supposed to do, but when in the
track window and on the name of the track I press the f8 key by itself,
then when it says now measure 1 I tab and it says track inspector and
then again and it goes back to the track window. For some reason after
that little dance, I can push control ap and it brings up the correct
menu. Praise the lord, finally figured out how to make that work, and
I'm not usually a person that goes around using that particular
expression... well at least not out loud. For me a praise the lord
moment is usually private. But I am super happy that I figured this
out. I am also happy that "Your Long Journey is sounding very good
except for a couple timing and mixing issues which I will probably fix.
But that is another story I suppose.
