You know, I always wondered with those keyboards if they drove enough power
in those ports to power a USB external hard drive. I doubt it, but figured
I'd ask.

What do you mean you plug the Ilock into your keyboard USB slot?

Andy,
Good to see you jumping in to pro tools! You should be fine with the USB
slots on the mac book pro. What I do is plug in my pro tools license in
to my keyboard USB port. That should leave the other for your interface.
Not sure if you could use a USB hub for more ports.

Unfortunately, my MACBook Pro only has 2 USB slots and 2 HDMI slots. No
firewire. Does this mean I might have to put out for an IMac?

Andy,
sweetwater.com is a great place to buy. Depending on the channels I think
the Saffire Pro40 is a good start. It connects using Firewire, has eight
channel inputs, two outputs for speakers, two headphone jacks, and
consists of knobs for level controls and buttons for phamtom powered
microphones.
I also use an Axium keyboard, which uses a USB to plug into the computer.
As for the guitar hardware someone else will have to answer that.
Sweetwater customer service is remarkable. They've worked with blind
musicians before and if you describe what you need they will most
certainly match you up. Explain that you need the most hands-on, knob and
button oriented hardware and they be delighted to help. I do not have any
bad experience and everything I won, keyboard, control surface,
microphones etc are from them.
I hope this gives you a start.
Best of luck and do feel free to ask questions. That is why we have this
list.

Hi all,
I am just getting started with Pro Tools. Unfortunately, most of the
hardware left from my previous stint with another DAW brand is sub
quality.
I wish to start over with new equipment and hardware, but do not know
what equipment to purchase. I have a list of items with nowhere to
find good quality brands or models. Can someone help me out? The list
with additional notes where necessary is below.
1. Pro Tools 12.3 - On the way.
2. Control surface - price is not a concern.
3. Audio input for recording instruments such as vocals, guitar,
and
keyboard - USB enabled with a direct input method. Price is not a
concern.
4. Guitar amp modulator - portable, price is not a concern.
5. Keyboard - Must be portable, workstation type of playing. Must
have
the ability to play soft synths/virtual instruments in Pro Tools.
Price is not a concern.
I believe the list above will get me started for now. A note of
importance, I am completely blind, and cannot read anything printed
on the screen or device. My current computer is a MACBook Pro mid
2015 with 500GB flash drive, 16GB memory, and an I7 with 8 processor
cores.
I have OSX 10.11 installed. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
