Hi, Lisette, If you want to, you can make ITunes a little more navigable by showing the sidebar with command-option-s. This will make it behave as it did in previous versions, with the source list and tables. You can then find your device in the sources list, and then press command-e to eject

I started receiving list messages today so I guess I'm approved so thought I would say hi to the list. I played with OS10 for a bit for a while but decided the only way to learn it properly was to get rid of windows all together and jump right in. The fact that my MBP kept corrupting windows

I'm glad to see you made it here (you know me from the blind-guitarist list). I use Audacity for music - export your Ampkit tracks, then import them into Audacity. I don't have the full Ampkit for Mac yet so have not tried this exact thing, but I have used Audacity and I get along with it well

That brings up a good question. I tried Audacity on windows and on hearing it was now more VO friendly on mac, just installed it the other day. I'm having the same issue with it on Mac as I did on Windows though. My interface is a Saffire Pro14 and although I can find the device in Audacity, I

Thanks for the info. I do own AmpKit but haven't exported yet. That's my next step. Problem is I'm having to much fun finding all the things it can do. I'd strongly recommend any Guitarists/Bassists to check it out. There is a free demo that lets you do a lot. Always a good idea when an app

Hi Ray. I haven't yet looked into SF on mac although I did here it was out. As a post production tool, it was pretty much unrivalled on pc so I'm interested to see how it stacks up on the mac. Right at the moment, I'm more into the multi-track recording aspects and as far as I'm aware, it's

Hi Les, I have not listened to Robert's podcast. It does seem that the way to actually get into a book is to find it in the single column table, then search on the word contents. That takes you to the table of contents, where you can arrow down to see the different sections, chapters,

Quite correct Danny: it was indeed Vagus LA that was the multitrack offering. I do not ever recall that it was or could be made accessible with JAWS via clunky crashy windows-note the small w that is on purpose. I understand that most of the basic functions can be done with Sound Forge on

Hit cmd-comma in Audacity, then select devices (I believe) from the table. Once that's done, tab to the different input/output options and set them. The input may be in the recording option rather than devices, but you should find it easily enough. On 1/11/13, Ray Foret Jr rfore...@att.net wrote:
