 Oracle 
 In Classical Antiquity, an oracle was a person or agency considered to be a 
 source of wise counsel or prophetic predictions or precognition of the 
 future, inspired by the gods. As such it is a form of divination. 
 The word oracle comes from the Latin verb ōrāre to speak and properly 
 refers to the priest or priestess uttering the prediction. In extended use, 
 oraclemay also refer to the site of the oracle, and to the oracular 
 utterances themselves, called khrēsmoi (χρησμοί) in Greek. 
 Oracles were thought to be portals through which the gods spoke directly to 
 people. In this sense they were different from seers (manteis, μάντεις) who 
 interpreted signs sent by the gods through bird signs, animal entrails, and 
 other various methods.[1] 
 The most important oracles of Greek antiquity were Pythia, priestess to 
 Apollo at Delphi, and the oracle of Dione and Zeus at Dodona in Epirus. Other 
 temples of Apollo were located at Didyma on the coast of Asia Minor, at 
 Corinth and Bassae in the Peloponnese, and at the islands of Delos andAegina 
 in the Aegean Sea. Only the Delphic Oracle was a male; all others were 
 female.[2] The Sibylline Oracles are a collection of oracular utterances 
 written in Greek hexameters ascribed to the Sibyls, prophetesses who uttered 
 divine revelations in a frenzied state.

protools vs sonar with caketalking

2013-01-15 Thread Thomas Böttcher
Hi guys,
I'm interested in recording soft synths and also recording some audio like my 
piano plus voice etc.
I'm currently using sonar and the caketalking scripts under windows, running 
bootcamp on my mac. In short, for all my other programs I am a convinced mac 
user. I'm experiencing some serious stability issues with sonar and windows and 
I'm slowly getting really sick of that.
About one and a half years ago I heard for the first time a podcast by kevin 
Reeves about pro tools being accessible and was really thrilled. However, back 
then he concluded with the notion that it was great for recording audio but not 
if you wanted to record soft synths and work a lot with midi editing etc.
That was one of the main reasons I went for sonar back then.
Could anyone on this list advice me if there has been any significant progress 
on that matter.
Another reason for me for going for sonar back then was the extensive 
documentation provided especially for blind users by dancingdots, since I was a 
total new comer on this subject.
I don't expect the learning curve on pro tools to be low, though.

As composer/arranger I've produced my work as sheet music, however I want to be 
able to produce it as well using sophisticated soft synth sounds and sample 
libraries. Is that doable with pt?
Well, that's about it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
Thomas


Re: protools vs sonar with caketalking

Hi Poppa,
There seem to be some incompatibility issues due to the fact that I'm using the 
Roland octa-capture which was recommended to me by dancingdots, however have 
just been finding out recently that officially macs running windows are not 
supported. 
I actually have not gotten any error reports directly related to the audio 
interface, though. However, sonar has been crashing quite often after inserting 
instances of e.g. the demension pro synth, which should not be any big deal at 
all. Also there are problems with some caketalking hotkeys that inspite of the 
good setup  cause sonar to crash.
I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this problem, maybe that's also a 
matter of reinstalling sonar all the way. 
The bottom line is that I would love to be able to do everything on the mac 
side of things without having to rely on the entire windows 7 story at all. I 
don't know, wether this is currently realistic.
Don't get me wrong, especially as  a rather inexperienced user of audio 
software I'm actually quite happy with something like the caketalking scripts 
and their documentation, but I hope there might come a day that  I'll be able 
to say bye-bye to windows all together. 
Actually, the same goes for the interminable search foor accessible notation 
software like sibelius or finale for the mac. 
Currently I'm still using sibelius3 on windows xp with Jaws 6.1 and the 
sibspeaking scripts of dancingdots. Works  perfectly, but hopelessly out of 
date! But what to do if there doesn't seem to be an alternative solution that 
does the same job.
Well, hope that makes things a little clearer.
Still very grateful for any input on these issues.
Greetings
Thomas
