I'm on Sonar 8.5, so anything after that, I'd have no idea.  I've not even 
looked into it.  It's not so much I'm quote: threatening to go back to 
Sonar.  That sounds like a  very strong word's way of putting it.  But think 
about this realisticly:  If I cannot accomplish the work I need to 
accomplish, thew way I, or the client needs it to be accomplished in one 
daw, then, don't you think the choice is, either get a DAW that will do it, 
or lose money?  Sure there is make Avid aware, which I have and will, but I 
don't in the pro world have time to sit here on my couch and wait for them 
to do what they wanna do when they wanna do it, whilst I'm over here losing 
clientship.


No hard feelings meant, just stating the britual truth that we need to 
consider.

I think we definitely have to be united and make Avid aware of what's
going on. Any solutions to the issue that we could offer them would be
helpful too.

I'm not sure if threatening to go back to Sonar would work as I
thought that Sonar is no longer accessible since 8.5. Personally, I am
still using Sonar 8.5 to do my work at home, but I am goign to need
to use ProTools professionally, so communication with Avid is really
important for me.

Hi,

It is the new plugin format. Some plugins are still in the old RTAS
Format

and others are in the new Aax Format. If you want to use only the old
plugins, go to applications / Avid/ pro tools. There, you will find 
an

alias called "AAX plugins". Click this. Then you are in the folder,
where

the AAx plugins are. Select all and delete them. If you then launch
pro
tools, you will find the old plugins and nothing else.

If you want to update your pro tools, make sure, that in the
installation

program the checkbox called "Avid Effects" or so is unchecked. This 
is

the

only workaround, we have at the moment.

If Pro tools 11 is out, we could have a possibility to control plugin
parameters; use a control surface. For IOS devices, an app called 
"pro

remote" is available. I wonder, if there isn't verbal feedback from
the
device. I can't test it, because I don't have an IOS device. But, if
it
works, there will be another possibility, we have.

While sonar 8.5 won't be obsolete or completely out classed in terms of

particularly looking up.

dancing  Dots are by all acounts working on x1 last  I heard.

Perhaps its time to really push for logic accessability as Reaper doesn't

Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility

2012-06-13 Thread Kevin Reeves
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

Re: Whats the final word on PT10 accessibility

2012-06-13 Thread Brian Casey
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.

Well, the way I see it, If everyone had access to a zip file that contained all 
the RTAS plugs, then, you could manually install them even if you were to be 
running 10.x. What will definitely kill us is if they no longer support RTAS, 
which would piss their user base off to no end. Even though I use this every 
day, I'm watching the same decline as you are. My hope is for Logic X to have 
some accessibility improvements. Then, I could sequence in Logic, and track

Yeah, logic is the ggreat hope in terms of providing options I guess.

Even if PT declines a b it, I guess efficient users like yourself would go a

I wouldn't rule out the RTAS thing being dropped soon enough if they fly 
through a few more versions.


They were very fast flying from 9 to 10 it seemed to me.

Kevin,

If I made it sound like the government was gonna drop a thermo nuclear bomb 
tomorrow and all hell would break loose, my apologies.  I'm not saying we're 
totally s o l here, as you're right, we're not, but I just wonder how long 
we'll be able to use the work around you stated.  I can't recall who on list 
said this about a week ago, but in P T 11, apparently, RTAS is totally! 
going bye bye, in his words.  With this said, does this mean the framework 
wouldn't be there, thus, making it impossible to copy them over?


Also where would one go in 10.0 to find the RTAS plugins to copy them and 
back them up both for archival purpose, as well as to paste them in over top 
of the A A X stuff?


You also say the settings need to be moved to their correct places.  Where 
does one find where that stuff is in the Finder?

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

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?

JSonar doesnt support anything above Sonar 8.5. So currently ProTools
is more accessible than Sonar. Logic isn't accessible yet to the best
of my knowledge. I think the hope is that it will become accessible in
time.

dialog finally restarted with Avid

2012-06-13 Thread Slau Halatyn
As you guys know, there's been a long radio silence with Avid. As I've 
mentioned in the past, the product strategist who was handed the accessibility 
baton from david Gibbons has been inaccessible, for lack of a better term. 
After repeated emails and phone calls, I finally heard back from him. No 
surprise, he's on the road, as he usually is. The good thing is that he's 
finally responding. I'm just waiting to hear back on when we will have a chance 
to speak a bit. It will probably be either today, tomorrow or Friday.

Ultimately, I'm hoping that he will delegate someone else with a little more 
time and lower-level responsibilities to interface with me regarding further 
progress. As soon as I have something further to share, I'll post as soon as 
possible.

 Well, the way I see it, If everyone had access to a zip file that
 contained all the RTAS plugs, then, you could manually install them even
 
 if you were to be running 10.x. What will definitely kill us is if they
 no longer support RTAS, which would piss their user base off to no end.
 Even though I use this every day, I'm watching the same decline as you

Re: importing clips without creating a new track

2012-06-13 Thread The Oreo Monster
You can try importing the the audio to the regions  list or clips list and see 
if you can follow the steps below to put it on the track u want. 
Note someone posted this to the list sometime in the past, just passing along 
the info here.

Below are the steps I found on the internet for drag and drop with VO.  I have 
a more streamlined approach, but as some of you may have slightly different VO 
behavioral settings, it's best that we start off with the more expanded but 
generic version.

1. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the item you want to drag.
2. Press VO-Command-F5 to move the mouse pointer to the location of the 
VoiceOver cursor. You can verify you have done this correctly with VO-F5 to 
hear what is under the mouse.
3. Begin the drag action with VO-Command-Shift-Space. you will hear the click 
of a mouse being pressed, but not released.
4. Turn off Cursor Tracking with VO-Shift-F3.
5. Using VoiceOver navigation commands, move to the location where you want to 
drop the item you are dragging.
6. Use VO-Command-F5 again to move the mouse cursor to the location of the 
VoiceOver cursor. You can press VO-F5 to verify you have done this correctly 
and hear what is currently under the mouse.
7. Press VO-Command-Shift-Space to release the item being dragged. You will 
hear the click of a mouse being released.
8. Turn your cursor tracking back on with VO-Shift-F3.

I have set in the VO utility that the mouse follows the VO cursor, so steps  2 
and 6 are unnecessary for me.  As is steps 4 and 8.

So assuming your VO settings are similar to mine, here are my steps as it 
relates to PT.

1. In the Edit window, go to and interact with the regions list.  Assuming the 
cursor tracking is on, you can use the up and down arrow keys to select a 
region, use shift + up or down arrow keys to select contiguous regions, or use 
a series of VO commands (that I cannot remember right now) to select 
noncontiguous regions.  I seem to recall that the latter requires the temporary 
deactivation of cursor tracking.

2. Press VO + Command + Shift + Spacebar for the down click.

3. Press VO + I for the item chooser menu.  Then start typing the name of the 
track where you would like to drag the region (narrows down the options, saves 
time).  Pressing return or enter on the desired item (i.e. track) from the 
chooser menu places the VO cursor on the desired spot..

4. For the release, repeat Step 2, and presto!
