Re: stepping down my involvement with Pro Tools accessibility
Surprised and sad to read this, but I guess everyone has to find a balance between expending energy and seeing some return for it. Actually, looking at it from that angle, I guess it's a pleasant surprise that it took this long for the man to grind you down lol. Thanks for everything man. Hopefully, we'll see the result of what you set in motion before too long.

Hi Slau, Thank you for the affords, You made. I have two questions: 1. How can we as community help Rick Boggs? 2. It's also interesting, how the current state of accessibility is.

Re: stepping down my involvement with Pro Tools accessibility
Slau, YOur contribution to ProTools accessibility will go down in history. As far as I'm concerned, you and Rick are the Armstrong and Aldrin of ProTools accessibility. YOu've brought accessibility out of the shadows and into the spotlight and your efforts will change the lives of many, from the enthusiast to the professional. If the NARAS could give out a Grammy for technical and social achievements, you, rick, Kevin and all of the other folks who have worked tirelessly to put ProTools accessibility on he map should share one of those trophies for sure. As our friend Neil Young says, keep on rocking int he free world and thanks for everything.

Re: Just mountain lion! please give me advice?
Hey Ramy as I said Avid is as we speak resolving the accessibility issues in pro tools. Lets not delude ourselves there are many DAWS used in many studios But from my experience working in rooms outside of mine And receiving sessions for clients, Pro Tools owns the greater share of the software recording market.

Hey Mike, Interesting. I was under the impression that the big bug with Pro Tools in ML was Apples to tackle, rather than Avid. Have I got that wrong?

Anyone using this surface and if so, how is the build, accessibility and latency? I am looking to up grade from my 002, but am a little skeptical of a USB interface.
