I'm a huge huge huge Randy Travis fan. I've thought about doing both He Walked on Water, as well as 3 Wooden Crosses. Maybe even 1982.

Hey Chris, great information. I might just check out ProTools Sunday and that tutorial looks like it might be a great help. Oh, by the way that too and you did digging up bones, really great job I liked it.

The most accessible version is the 12, the last one, right?
Anything from version 9 all the way up to 12 will work, but V12 is going to probably be your best bet. You don't need the HD version. I think for what you say you're going to be doing, just the standard PT12 will do you fine.

More, may I open in PT 12 the same project I've worked on Garageband?

The short answer, no. The long answer, no, but yes. No, you cannot open the actual Garageband project from within ProTools, but if you first export the project from GB as a wave file, an m4A, or even an mp3, then those files can be imported on to a track within ProTools, inside your ProTools session.

You wrote:

Has PT 12 its own keyboard to play, I mean the computer keyboard as Garageband.

It does, yes, but I don't know about the accessibility of it. That's why I told you about the PTAccess mailing list. If you join, someone on there could surely help you.

As for there being an active dialog, yes. There are a few of us, especially Slau Halliton who has been using ProTools for over 12 years, who has been in contact with Avid, formerly Digidesign, almost since the beginning of PT accessibility back in the OS8 days with Outspoken, even before Voiceover existed! Venny... not sure his last name, not Somarco, a different Venny, has also been doing things since about that long and has been in contact constantly with them. Kevin Reeves, and even Chuck Reichel are very very very very heavily involved. None of them as much as Slau though. Slau is gonna be your main go to, trust me.

I'd also encourage you to look at:

http://www.protoolswithspeech.com

which is ran by a guy named Matt Diemert.

It will cost you about $50 to get the tutorials, but all total it is around 8 and a half hours worth of training material with Voiceover and ProTools. It has proved to be invaluable! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I've learned from that audio guide.

Yes, I did some stuff on Applevis, but please don't use it. It's not complete, and honestly it's very very out of date.

If you want to check out Logic, which I personally don't care for, but, it's your judgement, you can look at:

http://www.icanworkthisthing.com

That site is ran by a blind Logic user named Keith Reety.

I personally hate his audio tutorials. He's not very explanatory, and he goes very very very quickly, and doesn't really seem to demonstrate anything as much as just kind a run his mouth. That's only my opinion though of very many others.

Here is a recording I did all me playing and singing in ProTools. This should give you an idea of what you can do.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16962268/I%27m%20Diggin%20up%20Bones.mp3

Anyone of you on this list are more than welcome to grab this and have a listen. It's not going anywhere.

If any of you have ProTools and would like the raw session to practice with, let me know. I still have it and would be happy to zip it up.

As for PT12 having its own software instruments, yes. There is a collection called Air Creative. In here are 3 things.

Mini Grand, which is a piano sample. Personally, I'd prefer using Synthogy's Ivory, but that's quite pricy.

Built in, you also get a great Hamand B3 modeler, but I don't recall its exact name. Finally you get the XPand2 libraries, which is over 300 different samples which are modeled from actually instruments. They are true samples. It's not just a software synth, although, they are triggered via a midi controller/keyboard, or through the on screen keyboard you'd play with the mac keyboard. Again, I don't know of its accessibility though, I'm sorry.

Let me know if you'd like some more help!

Chris.
