Hi,
Garage Band is great for that, and is pretty nice to work with for now.
Thanks for listening,

I think it all goes into the time and effort you want to put into
it. I am still recently blind and still grasping at visual items and
how they "look" to the older blind. I dont know anything about you
and how long you have been blind or if you even have have a
comprehendtion of what colors "look" like. I know you can add clip
art and images into documents and stuff like that, I dont know
exactly what you want know. as far as the music, the mac goes, I use
garage band and a usb condenser mic made by audio teknia , it is a
large diaphiram mic and records verry well. the only I can tell you
is I spent countless of hours working with state services relearning
the computer using windows blinds, jaws, and freedom box and as soon
as I got the apple home, I plugged it in and was able to explore
with out wory of screwing anything up and eventually learning it.
dont let the cridics at state services swade you or other blind with
a microsoft based computer. they are not informed. I had to learn
the hard way by investing loads of money into screen readers and
still having to deal with the usual p c junc. are you in the u.s.a.
I would be glad to talk to you and and I will make the call to help
you as I had lots of help from people help me when I went blind.
hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Dan. Which music applications are you using? Are you able to
handle projects with multiple midi and audio tracks, virtual
instruments, effects plugins, that sort of thing?
More importantly, are you able to produce professional-looking
notation on paper for sighted folks? That last one is most
important, since I teach guitar to sighted kids.
