So you're telling me that the keyboard access is the only reason you
bought Sound Forge Pro for?
Many Many other audio editing packages have very good keyboard access
and shortcuts including Studio Recorder, Total Recorder, Goldwave,
Wavepad and so the list goes on and further to this, all these packages
have facilities for customising the access.
As I stated previously, many of the features and functions of Sound
Forge 11 pro are purely visual and they don't have keyboard access to them.

The other problem here also seems to be blind loyalty - pardon the pun
-, people buy a product - in this case Sound Forge -, they've spent so
much money on the product so therefore they're hoping beyond hope that
everything will work as it did in Sound Forge 4.5 and they're not
looking to try anything new even though times and software are a
changing and that's unfortunate as those people miss out on anything
that actually works.
Sony Creative Software have never been interested in accessibility and I
doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come along where the
developers are interested in accessibility and take note of user
feedback, there's a lot of competition out there.
A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent literally
thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that, upgrades and all the
rest of it.
I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known about
it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a fortune on
Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him credit for having
the courage to try another product and just not blindly follow on.
Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether Blind or
Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions offered so we're
back to square one, why spend so much money?

I agree that Amadeus Pro is ideal on the Mac side, I've used it and it works
very well.
On Windows, in terms of serious audio production without vision, there is
nothing that beats Sound Forge V8 if you can get it, V9 and above have serious
accessibility issues in my view and, despite me reporting these to Sony,
they've not been fixed.
On Windows, for multi-track work I use Sonar 8.5. Again, it's excellent and
allows you to be very precise in terms of achieving a good overall balance of
tracks. I like to be very precise with my editing, and Sonar does not quite
give me the flexibility that Sound Forge does, but we do use Sonar a lot.

If you’re just relying on Sound Forge to record with a simple keystroke then you’re
money is well and truly wasted<smile>, Total Recorder for example records at
the touch of a keystroke, just type ctrl-r from within the Application or set up a
global hotkey to record from anywhere.
I’ve not played with Sound Forge Pro for a very long time, Audio Studio does me
so I’m wondering just how many of the “Visual” features in Sound Forge Pro 11 a
person without sight can make use of?
If you want to know what my favourite audio package is - for recording,
editing, multi track recording and just about everything else to do with audio
- then its undoubtedly Amadeus Pro.

Epic, I've tried it. It's so easy to record with it. 1 keystroke and you're
capturing.
I love it. Can't wait for them to upgrade Audio Studio.
