Hi, Regarding the use of the line in source of your mac, As reliable as this input is, I would consider the use of an external soundcard with 1/4in cables (standard jack) or XLR for microphone use. you get a better audio support range.
Reaper is a pretty decent package and is good for someone who can't find something accessible on a budget. it is worth mentioning that AVID ProTools is now accessible for the most part for blind users. Since V9.0, there has been a great improvement into the use of voiceover intergration. now that V10.0 has come out, things are looking a lot better. OK this means buying both ProTools and a suitable hardware interface, however if you're doing this to make good money or you're a student a ta music college and you need access to ProTools, then this is the way to go. have a great day. lew On 23 Nov 2011, at 09:13, Dane Trethowan wrote: > Hi Folks! > > I wrote to the list a little while ago regarding the Reaper Audio Production > software for Mac, as I said at the time the software seemed incredibly > accessible and my view has not changed since. > > One thing has come my way which has helped me understand Reaper more than I > did a week ago, I downloaded the Reaper User Guide from the Reaper home page. > > I warn you now that this User Guide is huge, we're talking 19MB PDF file here > but its packed with most useful information and the content/instructions are > straight to the point.
