Re: Thinking of jumping on the Pro Tools band wagon!
Remember there is also Pro Tools M Powered. It requires an M audio interface and only works with mAudio interfaces but is otherwise the same program and can be had for as little as $299 standalone and start at $329 bundled with m-audio interface. Also same with Regular Pro Tools it's $699 but bundled with an avid interface it becomes a better deal, but only if you are in the market for a high quality interface as well. Garage band is great for a free programs and a bit more usable than audacity when it comes to certain things.Learn its *unusual* way of working with it with voice over and you are set. www.appletothecore.info has some garage band podcast, and www.icanworkthisthing.com has a nice text summary of what's covered in the podcast.

A question about upgrading and plugins
Hi folks. Well i have a little question about Pro tools and what to do with that evil creature: I'm wondering if i can upgrade directly from 9.06 i think it is to 10.latest without going through earlier versions and how to go about to make sure i can use my pluging? Also on a totally different note, does anyone know what all the buttons on the M-Audio project mix do? Some, like those on the channel strips i have figured out, but the rest, are we using them at all or do we use the application itself for setting eqs etc? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Pro Tools Accessibility group.

Re: Thinking of jumping on the Pro Tools band wagon!
Don't forget that if you are associated with an educational instatution PT 10 is about $299. Sometimes they will even count a church organisation to qualify for the discount. I am possibly going to see if my local Boys club qualifies because they have a small recording studio for the children, but do not have PT and I am trying to be able to help out with their projects. . - Original Message - From: TheOreoMonster monkeypushe...@gmail.com To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 3:15 AM Subject: Re: Thinking of jumping on the Pro Tools band wagon!

David you can automate and it will do the same thing.

I know of no easy way to do this in Pro TOools off hand. However garage band makes it relatively easy. Import your two tracks in grage band, make one the ducting leader, (the voice) and one the ducting follower, (the music) If you need more fine tune control than what garage band gives you over it, then you will have to use the manual method with a compressor in pro tools. There is plenty of articles on side chaining compressors out there online if you don't mind googling around, checking out podcast like home recording show, or blogs like home studio corner, or recording revolution. None of these are blind specific but one you understand what needs to be done its just a matter of executing with voice over and keyboard instead of clicking with a mouse.

Hi Slau, In PT 9.03 they appear to be working. :) There was one observation though; In the System Usage window there is a section near the bottom of my DSP Card #2 and # 3 , for instance, that just says StaticText unless you click on the buffer bar it then changes to allocated. the problem is you can't see where to click with VO. Its slightly to the left of the % area though. I got this verified with sighted assistance.
