Esther, I know technically this is the wrong Scott hehe, but I just checked
out guitar shed and thought I'd report back to the list.
So far, the experience hasn't been too thrilling. I liked the idea of a
chord library because my theory is shocking, and the slow down feature might
have come in handy from time to time, muscle memory is my excuse. Anyway, I
couldn't actually figure out how to get either feature going with VO. No
menu items indicative to them, nothing in the window chooser menu, or the
item chooser. The main window seems to be the tone tuner, which is handy in
itself I guess. Lots of unknown elements that can't be interracted with and
have no help tags, but there is popup buttons scattered amongst them that
would allow you to use the tuner by ear. That's the best I can say for it
so far, if anybody figures out how to get the slow down feature or the chord
library going please let me know.
Scott

Hi Scott,
This is off topic, apologites, but I recall that you used the Amazing Slow
Downer once for guitar music after I told you that it was mostly
accessible.
There is an application on MacSanta today called Guitar Shed that sounds
amazingly good for a guitar player, and also lets you slow down music.
I don't know whether it's accessible, though. the TWIT recommendations
sounded great (at near the end of the program, in the linked reveiws --
don't
know whether it's worth listening through an hour of stuff, though. You
might
take a look:
http://www.astoundit.com/products/guitarshed/index.html
It's supposed to have a massive chord library, tuners, tablature
organizer.
The guy who recommended it kept saying it was an amazing amount
of stuff for a guitar player to find in one place for a list price of $12.
So I don't know if it's accessible, but thought you might like to have a
look.
(You get to save an extra 20% off today, too.)
Cheers,
Esther

Actually yes, I have been using it, but unfortunately there is no
means to install the software using Missing Sync that I need for my
phone. I am using MSS by Code Factory which requires Active Sync for
installation. I've tried to get them to consider an alternative means
for Mac users, but no luck yet.

Hey Scott. I have no experience whatsoever with active sync.
However I have heard that there is a mac replacement called missing
sync. Have you tried this? If not, it might be worth a look.

Just curious, I have really only two apps under windows I really
need. One of those is Active Sync for some software on my cell
phone that can't be used via the Mac and sometimes IE for some
testing. Is it possible to use Crossover to gain access to these
apps? I assume I'd have to install a windows-based screen reader.
Does this/would this work at all? How would you launch the windows
screen reader and then the application you need? Has anyone done
any of this successfully?
tnx
