hi, From what I have seen, 1 isn't more accessible than the other. They both do different things. It depends on what you want to do. On Sep 15, 2010, at 6:29 PM, joseph wrote: hello list members which is more accessible? garage band or amadeuspro? can i also use my usb midi controler

Tips for using terminal with VO?

2010-09-16 Thread Garry Turkington
Hi, Every so often I try moving my terminal-related activities from either a Windows or Linux box to the Mac. And each time I find the interaction between VO and the Mac terminal sufficiently frustrating that I give up for another 6 months. After just changing jobs I'm trying to rationalise my

My opinion is that you use something like VMWare's Fusion and setup a simple Linux distro with Speakup and perform your shell-based activities there. On Sep 16, 2010, at 4:57 AM, Garry Turkington wrote: Hi, Every so often I try moving my terminal-related activities from either a Windows or

Hi Scott, That's exactly what I've been doing, though currently with VMware Workstation on a Windows host. I have Fusion on my personal MBP but may have some issues putting a VM atop my Mac at work. Given the Mac is built atop Unix and VO almost works with terminal though I'd really prefer to

I remember the ESQ with the cartridge storage. I had a pile of gear mainly a Roland S50 (2 of them) complete with the MT100 tablets, TR808, Akai S5000, Roland D50, Roland U220 and a pile of outboard DSP. I never used it at the time though because at work I had access to an Audioframe,

That actually sounds like a really inteersting option. I'm liking terminal but fusion seems very powerful and I like the idea of reving up virtual machines to quickly prototype an environment. On Sep 16, 2010, at 6:40 AM, Scott Howell wrote: My opinion is that you use something like

Garry, although VO certainly works better with the Terminal than it has and does a great job for the limited things I need it for, I have not found it to be quite the entire replacement for Speakup and the shell. I hope someone does have other suggestions. On Sep 16, 2010, at 10:28 AM, Garry
