Re: Keyboard control surface?
Thanks Chuck. I suspect your right. Sometimes just building a good foundation can make all the difference in the long run. - Original Message - From: CHUCK REICHEL To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, March 30, 2012 7:46 AM Subject: Re: Keyboard control surface? Hi Poppa, Best way to make the transition is to do EVERYTHING using VoiceOver from now on until your chops are up! :) This will make using PT more pleasurable! ;) Just a note if you have a specialized pt keyboard and get thrown into a situation where you can't use it theres no sweat Because any mac keyboard will do. If I had a pt keyboard in every station in my studio I would need about 7 of them! When i looked in to them several years ago they were a bit steep!!

I can understand what you guys are saying. I guess that my thought is that since I am coming over from PC and completely new to voiceover and PT that anything with dedacated buttons would possibly help the transition to be a little less drastic. It seems that with voiceover there is expenincionally more keys that needed to be pressed over say 10 steps than I am used to.

Re: Keyboard control surface?
I know a ton of sighted PT dabblers that would love this, but can't really see how it'd be worth its price tag for a screen reader user. It would help you get things done if you find it easier to remember an 8x19 matrix of buttons than standard shortcuts, but given how key-happy VO itself is before you even load PT, that probably won't apply to anyone here. As Chuck would say, ymmv... Scott On 30 Mar 2012, at 13:13, Slau Halatyn wrote: I have to say, there's nothing really there that can't be done with standard keyboard shortcuts.

Is anyone using the HOTKEY MATRIX - keyboard Control Surface for Pro Tools? It is a shortcut USB key board made for PT.
