Hey Thierry, Fear not, this isn't the Pro Tools elite, it's a relaxed list and the regular posters are all decent welcoming people. Some of us know each other from using the previously accessible incarnation of Pro Tools a few years ago, but the majority of members here are arriving due to interest in the new VoiceOver accessibility just like you. To reassure you further, I've been here since day one, and don't have a clue who this Patrick chap is yet either LOL.
Can we get either a plug for Patrick's URL or a dropbox link floating around here peeps? Enquiring ears would like to ingest this content.
