I'll try to hit all the questions asked in this thread thus far. Pro Tools 9 and 10 are equally accessible so long as you are using snow leopard or lion. Personally i prefer lion as its much improved voice over wise over SL in my opinion. Everything works in ML except edit fields and the counter/clock fields won't read at all in ML. THis is a bug apple has been made aware of and is working on as far as we know. So for now its not advisable to use ML with protools. To the person consider switching from Reaper. I must say reaper is a fine daw in it own right and many a pro tools faithful has jump ship to reaper has it has many advantages over pro tools for a hell of lot less money. So if you are already comfortable with reaper, there is no shame in sticking with it. Al the features you mentioned are available in both Pro Tools and reaper and usable with screen readers. As an audio only person myself i haven't found any limitations with Pro Tools, Midi is where the limitations are at the moment accessibility wise but most of the midi guys on here seem to make it work for them. I have no issues with focus rite stuff personality has i have owned one of the original saffire 26/26 IO. From what i heard through this list and from my own experiences trying to use it in apple stores a few times, logic isn't all that accessible, there are way s to use it for its midi instruments that partly relies on remembering the right series of keystrokes and doing things without audible feedback from voice over, but recording audio and or editing anything really isn't that doable with voice over yet. On the other hand, Garage band is plenty usable with voiceover and with the main stage instrument pack available in the app store for $30 you can pretty much add most if not all the logic sounds to garage band.
Hope i caught al the questions in there. On Mar 18, 2013, at 7:02 PM, Katie Zodrow <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Ricky. I'm currently learning to use Garage Band now with Voiceover.
