Hi Slau,
maybe a silly question, but will the accessible pt likely supporter the
slightly older editions of the digi, I so love my 002, that I would hate
to have to get a 003 if not needful?

Well, when you say, are the M-Audio interfaces accessible, I'm assuming you're
asking whether the software to configure the interface is accessible. The
answer, for now, is no. Thing is, M-Audio is aware of the issue and will
address it. I'm sure it won't be for several months but I'm pretty sure they'll
make the M-Audio control panel accessible in the future.

Slau,
Are you saying that the M audio interfaces are actually accessible? I've got a
mackie pro fx 12 channel mixer and I like it everything is tactile and is easy
to use.

Hi Krister,
That's kind of a big question but I'll try to answer it as concisely as I can.
Pro Tools comes in 2 basic flavors: TDM and host-based. The current TDM system
is called HD and is the most expensive but most expandable system found in
studios.
The host-based systems can be broken down into LE and M-Powered systems. The LE
systems require Digidesign hardware to run Pro Tools. There's the MBoxII,
MBoxII Pro, Digi003 and Digi 003 Rack. These interfaces range from around $500
to around $3,000 depending on certain software bundles, etc. Each interface has
its own limitations as far as input/output but all are capable of playing back
up to 48 stereo tracks.
The M-Powered systems use M-Audio interfaces and range from somewhere around
$250 for a dongle-like interface up to around $1,300 for a control surface. If
you have an M-Audio interface already, it's possible to just buy Pro Tools
software for around $199.
While it won't be necessary to use a control surface to access Pro tools, there
are compelling reasons to use a surface for speed and accuracy. For example,
trying to record fader automation with keystrokes is way more cumbersome and
far less accurate than simply moving a fader and recording the movement. Also,
editing audio with a scrub wheel like on the Digi 003 is an absolute breeze. Of
course, it can be done without the scrub wheel but, once you've done it that
way, you'll never want to go back.
Hopefully that answers your question a bit. Feel free to contact me off list if
you have more questions.
Cheers,
Slau

Hi Slau and others on the list,
Isn't pro tools very expensive, and does it need any special equipment, such as
sound cards, control surfaces etc?

No date yet. Stay tuned to the list and I'll certainly announce it when it's
out.

Hi Cody,
bTW, it's not version 9 but version 8.0.4 which will be accessible. That's the
next version scheduled for release this Spring.

As I've posted before, I can't wait for the new version of pro tools 9, as I
have heard of accessibility improvements being done. I'm not much a journalist,
but I'd imagine you'd use the same editing techniques as you would to remaster
a song. I'm hoping to get myself into a professional audio course in college
here in Maine and if anyone has any help/suggestions please let me know.

Hi,
Most of those issues with audacity are fixed in the new accessible version for
Mac. Here goes the link. http://audacity.homerow.net/index.php?dir=accessible

Hi,
As a matter of fact, i'm in contact with the developer of Hindenburg. As it
stands right now, it's not accessible, the journalist edition looks like i
remember Audacity, many unknowns. The developer is aware of this and is working
on the a11y both of the app and the Journalist for the Mac.

Hi folks,
I have shared with some privately that one of my worries about the new
accessible-tools is that it will not features important to those of us who work
in broadcast journalism need the same way we have them addressed in the
present pro tools structure.
Pro tools is an industry standard in journalism too, so both the musician and
the reporter have a steak in it.
Anyway, a friend of mine sent me another program option.
its called
Hindenburg Journalist. there is a field recorder option too.
My question is if anyone has seen this, how workable is it now?
if not at all, the program is still under development, meaning wise minds can
have a role in this. Its still free right now too.
here is the site.

if that's wrong, yell i am a little tired.
