Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
Hi Krister, A MIDI controller won't be anywhere near as effective as a control surface. If you plan to do any mixing whatsoever, it's not feasible to try doing automation with one track at time. If you'll need to mix several tracks, a control surface is indispensable. You'll be able to work far more efficiently using a surface to quickly mute, unmute, solo tracks, quickly change multiple track volumes, etc. Slau On Jan 26, 2013, at 8:34 AM, Mike LockettMike Lockett wrote: > Hey Krister il dropbox you Kevins tt. > Now to your first question, maybe you could let us know your intent for > protools. > > > Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi, > Here's the next newbie question: I understand that an Apple keyboard with > numeric pad is mor or less required to use PT effectively as a blind person, > but what more is required to be effectively using PT?

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
Hi Slau, Woops this proves to tax hard on my tight budget, but i guess you'll have to live with that. smiles. Question is of course then what a good control surface would be, if need be and considering that i'm on somewhat of a tight budget, what would you say about using only the computer to mix things, record and so on, would that at all be practical? /Krister 26 jan 2013 kl. 17:56 skrev Slau Halatyn : > Hi Krister, > > A MIDI controller won't be anywhere near as effective as a control surface. > If you plan to do any mixing whatsoever, it's not feasible to try doing > automation with one track at time.

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
Krister, I've been using a Control|24 for about 10 years and have not followed the control surface market closely for some time. Perhaps others who have recently researched this can contribute some suggestions. As far as mixing with only the Pro Tools interface, for a blind user, I'd say it's inefficient. If you're not working with clients and you are not under any time constraint, then it's conceivable but I would never recommend it necessarily. First of all, you're limited to changing or automating one track at a time. I can't imagine working that way. Again, if you're not working with clients sitting in with you during a session, well then it's probably not an issue. Regardless, I do prefer the tactile feedback that a moving fader gives me. I've used Pro Tools in remote recording situations without a surface but that was only for recording and not for any mixing whatsoever during the recorded event. Afterwards, back at the studio, of course, I'm back to the Control|24 and can't imagine working any other way.

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
I agree with the control surface thoughts. You can affectivly do things on the key board, but you cut your time in half, if not by more with a control surface. Also, I think for the most part if you are on a budget that the Digidisign 002 or 003 mixers are the most practical root for intry level, as a matter of fact I have been in HD studios that are still using 003 mixers. You can find them from $300 to $500 on Ebay and in some online stores. Remember though, you want to look for the 002 or 003 mixer, not rack.

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
In the case of most interfaces, they have MIDI ports built in. In the cases where there is no MIDI implementation, you'll need some type of USB MIDI interface like anything from M-Audio. For keyboards, depending on the controller, they might have a USB interface or MIDI or both.

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
Krister, the 003 is both a control surface and an interface in one unit. The MBox is just an interface alone. Depending on which MBox you have, it's probably just a FireWire port. Various control surfaces out there would either be USB, MIDI or Ethernet. Most likely, you'll encounter either USB or MIDI.

Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?
A control surface is different from an interface. The M Box has all your ins and outs for recording and playback. The control surface controls the faders on screen. Some surfaces have an interface built in like the 003, but the BCF 2000 is just the control surface. So, you'll need both at this point, unless you eventually upgrade to a surface with an interface built in.
