I do have that FiRe -2, but the latest updates and can't even access VoiceOver. Nor could I ever get a refund.
Thanks for the instructions, though.

People should be very careful about trying to use this on older processors, because it can make things very sluggish when you are using VoiceOver That's why I put in the warning about the iPod Touch, in particular. Fifth generation just makes the cut. Best performer is the latest model iPad, followed by the iPad 3. Even though GarageBand is Audiobus compatible, if you run that on a fourth generation iPod Touch, the Audiobus features won't work. Technically, some Audiobus features might work, but the performance hit was so bad that Apple decided that it wasn't supportable. FiRe 2 is another of the apps that is Audiobus compatible. I don't know whether any of you still have that app, but I posted a reply to Dane's query of a workaround for the drop in VoiceOver level since the last version. I'll repeat that here, in case anyone missed it: when you add a recording and the VoiceOver audio volume drops, just do a couple of two finger double taps, as though you were starting and stopping the background music player. (I suppose this fix wouldn't work if you have no audio of music on your device to start playing, but realistically I can't imagine someone who got the FiRe 2 - field recorder app who doesn't have some audio tracks.) As soon as the audio starts playing you'll recover VoiceOver at the normal volume, so just do another two finger double tap to stop the player playing, and go ahead and navigate through the FiRe 2 screens as usual. I got this simple workaround from someone on the viphone list. HTH. Cheers, Esther On 15 Jul 2013, at 10:43, Sarah k Alawami wrote: > Yeah i have it but not audio buss yet.
