I am pretty sure I saw that setting, but can't remember where.  I'll look for 
it, and try adjusting it as you suggest.

 Hi all,
 
 OK, so I've finally gotten the mic and interface to work.  I have a couple 
 of questions:
 
 1.  At this point, my recordings are only coming out of the right channel. 
  How do I fix this so they record in stereo?  In Prefs, it is already set 
 to Stereo.
 
 2.  Do I have to go into System Prefs, change the Input and output 
 settings every time I want to record, and then go back in and change them 
 back when I'm done?  It seems like there should be an easier way to 
 default to the MBA's internal speakers.

Re: Amadeus question

OK, makes sense.  Thanks, Chris.  Like I said I'm new to this.  I figured that 
if I mixed two mono tracks, I'd just end up with a mixed mono track.  Clearly 
I'll have to spend more time exploring this over the weekend.  thanks for 
pointing me in the right direction.

 However as I said, the microphone is a mono source.
 So you have your voice on one mono track, your music on another stereo 
 track etc. Then you want to mix those tracks together for the end result.

Subject: Copy and paste from iBooks

Hello,
Is it possible to use VoiceOver to copy a page or so of text from an iPub 
book in iBooks and then paste it into an Email as a discussion point? this 
is on Mac OS El Capitan? If not can this be done on IOS 9.2? I have googled 
copy and paste from iBooks and found answers on how to do this using vision 
and a mouse, but this does not help a VoiceOver user.

Many thanks.

Re: Amadeus question

2016-01-28 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries

I have used a stereo track when recording a piano with two mics. Just 
seems to sound better that way. Of course which mics to use and where to 
place them is a black art left as fodder for many an audio nerd war. 
Even if you were doing a vocal and acoustic guitar recording it wouldn't 
be stereo, it would be two mono tracks, one for guitar and one for 
vocals, even though you might be using a "stereo" audio interface. Short 
of large instruments and groups I've put most things on mono tracks for 
each source so you can then tweak them individually.

Hello.
So we have two types of tracks. A mono track and a stereo track.
What distinguishes a mono from a  stereo track is how many channels is using. 
When stereo you use 2 channels. So if you have an audio interface connected you 
will be using channels 1 and 2 to record in stereo.
On the other hand, if you are recording in mono, using a mic for example, you 
will only be using 1 channel for this. So even if you are recording music with 
your mic it will be mono because you are only using one channel.

Ok understand that.
However as I said, the microphone is a mono source.
So you have your voice on one mono track, your music on another stereo track 
etc. Then you want to mix those tracks together for the end result.

Since you are recording a mic source, you need to set this to mono.
You set this to stereo only if you are recording music or other stereo source 
such as piano or other type of music.

Re: Amadeus question

2016-01-28 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries

Well, depending on how the tool works there is usually a "Pan" setting. 
On a mono track it defaults to the middle (equal left and right) but on 
a stereo track it defaults to the left being panned full left and the 
right is panned full right. So if you can find where the pan setting is 
on the right track you might be able to just move it back to middle and 
everything will be good.

Re: How to remove a program from the status menu

You might try pressing vo-shift-m on the status menu item, if that opens the 
menu then there might be a quit menu item there.

Re: VMware fires US dev team behind Workstation and Fusion

2016-01-28 Thread Jonathan Mosen

Hi everyone, Fusion isn't going away. Its development is being out-sourced. So 
we'll have new versions of Fusion in future. The question is, how accessible 
will they be.
I've been tweeting a lot about this, and last night, I received an email from 
one of the now former Fusion developers, thanking me for acknowledging their 
commitment to accessibility. This particular developer was responsible for 
ensuring accessibility, and took great pride in testing and trying hard to 
maintain a high level of accessibility in new versions.
whether that will now be a thing of the past remains to be seen.

Re: UC headphone.

Hi, it works directly with the bluetooth in your Cisco phone on your desk.  You 
should be able to configure it with a web browser to your IP and or change the 
provisioning template on the server.  As far as the amplifier, not sure on that 
one but I do know it will pair with a Cisco phone.

Re: Copy and paste from iBooks

2016-01-28 Thread Anne Robertson

Hello Paul,

I’ve just done a bit of experimenting using a DRM-protected book. Although 
Shift plus Arrow Keys selects text, Cmd-c doesn’t copy it to the clipboard. 
However, You can make VO read a paragraph with VO-p then use the VO command 
VO-Shift-c to copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard and it works.
The largest chunk of text I could do this with was a paragraph. The Next Page 
command doesn’t seem to work in iBooks. This is on my Mac running the latest El 
Capitan.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: How to remove a program from the status menu

2016-01-28 Thread Jonathan Cohn

If it is the Status menu item that is causing the issue, you are supposed to be 
able to drag these out of the status menu. I am not sure if that stops the 
program running, or just removes the icon. Are there no instructions online 
about removing this program?
Best wishes,

Re: How to remove a program from the status menu

2016-01-28 Thread Andrew Lamanche

Hi Walter,

Go to system preferences, and interact with the preference pain with 
vo+shift+down arrow.  Vo+arrow to users and groups button and vo+spacebar on it 
to open it.  You will hear voiceover announce: "Users, groups and login options 
List 1 item selected. Simon Cavendish, current user group"

Now, if you move with vo+right arrow, you will hear two tabs announced.  The 
second tab will say "login options"  You want to press vo+spacebar on it to 
highlight it.  then if you move to the right, you will see a table with all the 
apps that startup at login.  Interact with the table of applications with 
vo+shift+down arrow.  Each application that starts at login has a check box 
next to it, check the one you wish to remo.  Then stop interacting with the 
table with vo+shift+up arrow and move to the right to the button that says 
remove.  Press vo+spacebar on it to remove it from the log in.

Hope this will help.

UC headphone.

Does this mean that my Cisco phone on my desk could support bluetooth or does 
it also connect to a Plantronics amplifier? Currently I use a Plantronics amp 
that is designed to connect to both a PC and a computer, though I have never 
gotten the microphone on the device to work as audio in for a computer.

Windows and Linux and VM's

2016-01-28 Thread Jonathan C. Cohn

Hello,

After 6 months of not having a personal Macintosh to work on, I picked up a new 
MacBook Air with a full complement of CPU and memory I feel for the first time 
that I might be able to do some work on a other OS’s on a machine that I own. I 
am assuming that I want to use VM’s because I will want to play with NVDA and 
JAWS and be able to reset my environment with ease. 

Has anybody used either non VM Ware VM software under El Capetain with success?

I also might want to play with a 

If I got a copy of Windows 7  (or 8), installed it on a VM, cloned the VM and 
then upgraded the clone to Windows 10 would the older OS VM stop working or be 
considered a illegal license? 

Note, I am at ease with using the terminal application in MacOS or as it now 
seems to be called AOS.

Take care,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: braille display commands for the mac

2016-01-28 Thread Caitlyn Furness

Hi,
this will depend on which display you are using as far as commands go.

To see a list, go to vo utility with vo f8.  go down to braille.  then I think 
it’s under the layout tab, and it’s called key commands or something like that. 
 It brings up a table of the commands for your particular display.

Additionally, if you go to the apple site, you can find generic commands for 
using braille on the mac there-just do a search for braille.

hth,
Caitlyn

Copy and paste from iBooks

2016-01-28 Thread Paul Hopewell

Hello, 
Is it possible to use VoiceOver to copy a page or so of text from an iPub book 
in iBooks and then paste it into an Email as a discussion point? this is on Mac 
OS El Capitan? If not can this be done on IOS 9.2? I have googled copy and 
paste from iBooks and found answers on how to do this using vision and a mouse, 
but this does not help a VoiceOver user. 

Many thanks.

On the main page there are linds that say “buy” for each product they have. You 
want the one that says reading aid so that you get both the stand and the piece

Re: Amadeus question

Hi, Nektarios,

Thanks for the help and for sending your Skype contact.  My interface does have 
two channels, I had the mic on channel 1.  I had an idea about what the problem

Let me play around a bit more, and if I have no luck, I'll Skype you.

Again, thanks for everything!

Re: braille display commands for the mac

2016-01-28 Thread Anne Robertson

Hello Brian,

With your Braille display connected to your Mac, open the VoiceOver utility 
(VO-F8_ and go down to Braille. Select Braille Displays. You should find a 
table showing all the commands provided for your particular display. You’ll 
also see that you can assign your own commands.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: VMware fires US dev team behind Workstation and Fusion

2016-01-28 Thread Mike Arrigo

Unfortunately flash is not acccessible on the mac. This site needs to
upgrade to html 5.

Original message:
I still have a virtual machine running Windows 7 on my MacBook air, but
I only use it for those rare occasions when I need access to a flash
player-based website. It's really bad when you can't play flash content
on a mac system. I've run google chrome and Safari, but they can't even
see the flash player on a certain website that I really need. So, I
resurrected my Windows 7 installation and it works like a charm with
Internet explore.

I guess this means there will be no more upgrades to fusion, I no

But it was a great product when I used it, and very accessible. There
are alternatives, though not very accessible. There's another paid
product called parallels but it's not voiceover accessible. Virtual box
is free, but also not accessible. Then there's boot camp, but that
requires sighted help to get Windows installed. At least more software
is now being developed for the mac, so Windows should be needed less on
these computers.

I guess I won’t see my feature request for serial ports as sockets
implemented in Fusion, then. :(

This is really sad news. But of course, I understand it, on a
practical, realistic level: desktop virtualisation is now something of
a fringe market, there are free products available and those that
compete economically and favourably for consumers, and even on the
server virtualisation is readily available and incorporated as parts of
technology stacks. And if VMWare’s products are profitable, it’s only
because they’re already asking too much. So who’s going to be too
bothered, apart from the awesome people behind the technologies, and a
bunch of geeks? Oh yeah, and blind Mac users unable to use any of the
alternatives?

We shall have to see what happens.

Re: Amadeus question

Hello.
So we have two types of tracks. A mono track and a stereo track. 
What distinguishes a mono from a  stereo track is how many channels is using. 
When stereo you use 2 channels. So if you have an audio interface connected you 
will be using channels 1 and 2 to record in stereo. 
On the other hand, if you are recording in mono, using a mic for example, you 
will only be using 1 channel for this. So even if you are recording music with 
your mic it will be mono because you are only using one channel.

 Since you are recording a mic source, you need to set this to mono. 
 You set this to stereo only if you are recording music or other stereo

Re: Amadeus question

I understand about mixing the two tracks together.  But how do you figure that 
the vocals will be mono, and the instruments stereo, when they're both being 
recorded with the same mic?

Re: Amadeus question

Ok understand that. 
However as I said, the microphone is a mono source. 
So you have your voice on one mono track, your music on another stereo track 
etc. Then you want to mix those tracks together for the end result.

Re: Headphone bug still exists on the I phone.

Simon, the Legend in fact does support multipoint like the Edge up to 8 devices 
at a time can be paired.  The audio is only heard from one device at a time 
though to be complete.  (this is a limitation on all bluetooth headsets as far 
as I know not just the plantronics)

The UC means unified communications.  This means it’s compatible with some of 
the Cisco devices for folks working in call centers and the like.  Plantronics 
does a lot in the office call audio space as well so this headset is designed 
to work both as your cellular headset and the headset for the phone on your 
desk.

Hope that helps.

Re: Headphone bug still exists on the I phone.

Yes, the Edge is upgradable.  On the Mac at least the process is accessible 
enough to accomplish independently.

 Hi Scott,
 Is the legend a current device? What I like about my old Voyager is that 
 behind that ear loop. It feels very secure. And I don't have to stuff the 
 tip into my ear. For me, that is a big deal. I'm not thrilled about the 
 proprietary charging, but maybe that case would make it worth it.

Re: Headphone bug still exists on the I phone.

Simon, what kind of headset are you having a problem with?

I’ve found the Jawbone to be very unstable for example compared to the Voyager 
Legend.  I could maybe help more though if you provide the brand and model of 
the headset you have issues with.

Re: VMware fires US dev team behind Workstation and Fusion

This really is to bad.  I run fusion and a lot of VMs that aren’t windows.  I 
run the virtual Juniper routers and firewalls for example to build test 
topologies and also some of the unix variants.  I think I also heard though 
that this will be wrapped up in to Dell so it will be interesting to see how

Re: Amadeus question

2016-01-28 Thread Ray Foret Jr

Question.  Are you using the latest version?  In that version, this should not 
be happening.  In older versions, if you pressed the up or down arrow key by 
itself, you could thereby directly control which stereo channel you were 
working with.  Every time you opened a new project, you defaulted to working 
with both channels.  Try this.

1.  Open a new project.  Press CMD+r to record.  Now, look close to the right 
side edge.  There's a button called "play through".  As it's name implies, this 
will allow you to activally monitor exactly what it is you are recording.  
Press this button.  Better have headphones on before you do this.  IF your 
signal is as you describe, you can then doctor it on the spot until it's 
correct.

I'd examine all my plugs and make sure everything is firmly and correctly 
connected to your system.

HTH.
