Nope, J Sonar wouldn't be ready for it before the paid CakeTalking scripts
generally as far as I can figure. CakeTalking is supposed to be in
development for x1, but it's a long rebuild apparently, and JSonar being a
free product, it would be an even longer development cycle.
Apparently the guys who really know their stuff with jaws can get around x1
a little bit, but its safe to say its basically completely out of the
question for the time being.

Brian,
You say Sonar now has all accessibility broken, I don't wanna veer off the
p t topic, as this list isn't for the talk of Sonar, but real quickly, if
you don't mind me asking, what about j sonar, are there no snap shots to
support the newer versions after 8.5? Also, can one still use Sonar
Talking, or has that also broken.
Chris.

Kevin, I think this work around with 10.0 and 10.2 is what Stefan
(apologies can't spell correctly) was refering to earlier in this thread.
At least from what I gathered, I think he was suggesting while updating
PT to uncheck a box that would install AAX plugins normally, which would
then leave the RTAS plugs from the previous install of P|T on the system
and available to use.
Personally, as I haven't invested in PT yet I'd just be a bit worried
that further updates would phase out RTAS plugs and AAX may not get
ffixed, and I'd also be nervous that if I wished to buy a copy in the
future, it mightn't be so easy or practical to get my hands on a version
that isn't broken.
Which are all valid concerns.
But like you say, none of this is the end of the world, but Avid seem to
be updating PT quite regularly these days, so things could slip away
faster than expected and there might be even more playing catch-up to do
in terms of gaining accessability.
Then again, all this is still less damage then say for example the move
from sonar 8.5 to sonar x1 on the PC side of things, which effectively
broke all accessability entirely, at least until someone develops a
product free or otherwise to address that.
Your thoughts are appreciated on this Kevin, as I would view you as a
professional very much reliant on PT now from what I've gathered.
Unfortunately, for workflow reasons, financial reasons and probably a
lack of confidence I'm still sitting on the fence about PT, but it's the
likes of yourself that give me hope, particularly in the light of these
small set backs as Avid make new releases.
Thanks
Brian.

At present, Pro TOols 9.0.6 is solid, and the accessibility issues don't
break till 10.2. So, Those wanting to move to a PT system, 9.06 is the
ticket. The world isn't coming to an end here. It's just that the AAX
format isn't supported. So, don't upgrade. Also, I wonder if one could
install all of the RTAS plugs from 10.0 into the 10.2 environment. Think
all you need to do is copy the plugin file to the plugins folder and
then the setting folders to their respective spots. If this were the
case, you'd still be in business whilst upgrading to the newest rig so
you can take advantage of newer Mac OS upgrades and the like. We're not
dead here. We just need to find a workaround. Your thoughts?
Kevin
