hello all my name is byron.
i am a bran new blind pro tools user.
i have been taking Kevin reeves's getting started with pro tools from an
accessibility point of view. training class via skype.
if you are just starting with a mac computer, i would really suggest that
you get good with voice over first, than jump in with pro tools.
the reason i say that is because so many functions in pro tools are
related to the mac.
that is in a great way.
these two things go hand and hand, when everything is going right,,, lol
i have been engineering for about 15 years.
i started with analog as a low vision person.
i moved in to the digital world 2 years after my start.
the great thing about a blind person using pro tools is, it provides a
closer to even playing field for us in relationship to the rest of the
music biz.
pro tools, voice over, and any other DAWS , or screen readers that you
choose to use,will not take long to learn, if you are really pationnet
about it.
as well as this list is an awesome resource for us.

So Katie, I do think I remember your introduction about a week ago. I use
Sonar the majority of the time, but I picked up a Pro Tools set up for my
recording studio because I thought I would have more pro tool spicific
clients, but it didn't turn out that way. Many just want their stuff
recorded no matter the set up as long as you know what you are doing. So
now I have both PT and Sonar. I am much quicker with Sonar and find it to
be more flexable than Pro Tools and a little easier to learn, the thing
is though, with PT on the Mac you are for the most part getting a
recording system that goes hand and glove with the Mac platform, and
whether people like it or not, Pro Tools is industry standard. With a PC
you have so many 3rd party programmer variables that it can become
dawnting to get a good set up that performs well. I would say this as you
get back into the music, most people end up getting the Pro Tools bug so
if your at the gate and wondering where to start then you might be better
off just jumping into Pro Tools so your not like many who start off in
Sonar always wondering if they should start learning pro tools.

Hi, Nate. I've used Sonar when it was Cakewalk in the past during the
early 2000's. I think I used Cakewalk version 9 up until I graduated
from Berklee in 2004. I mostly used Cakewalk for writing instrument and
vocal parts for my production projects or I used it for completing
assignments for Traditional Harmony and other classes in college. I'm
not that familiar with Sonar with recording digital audio because I only
did MIDI recording with Cakewalk/Sonar.

Yes, PT is accessible and the person who did those lessons is Kevin
Reves, he goes back and forth from this list and the PT access group.
He also does pro tools lessons via skype or phone. His email is
m...@kevinreeves.net
Do you know how to use voice over, the screen reader for the Mac? That
is the biggest hurdle IMO to using Pro Tools. I have a PT set up on a
Mac with a 002 mixer and I am able to use plugins, softsynths and
perform most basic edit functions. I am still learning though, it is a
different kind of beast than Sonar.

Subject: Beginner questions.
Hi there folks. I've recently started college doing a music
performance/production course, among other things. They use PT as
their main program, and I only learnt of its accessibility a couple
days ago. I guess firstly, I heard there was a tutorial or two that
someone did on PT. When I searched for it I discovered the link was
broken. If anyone has those are they able to chuck me a link?
Secondly, is PT practical for us blind folk yet? I understand this is
fairly new, so I thought I'd ask before taking the dive. I would
certainly be needing access to the midi area, along with possibly
plugins and access to some of the in built softsynths it has. (Though
I know that ones a bit of a hit and miss.)
Any help on this, anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
James
