I use a digidesign 002 control surfase, some blind people use the 003 control
surfase, there is a rack version and a mixing board, I am talking about the
mixing board/concel. You have your buttons for record, rewind, fwd, stop, mute,
solo, track volumes and much more. HTH.

Hello to the list.
I can't think of the name of the particular control surface but there was one
mentioned some years ago that made the functions not 100 percent accessable but
pretty close but I can't remember what it was at this point.
This is the frustrating thing about this kind of thing is that it is 1 step
then 2 steps back then 2 steps forward and 1 or 2 steps back.
It seems as though we will never catch up but I know it takes time.
You almost need to have someone who is blind doing some part time work with
this company to test the software when it is an alpha version and or beta so
this person can say no this is broke, you need to redo this or that.
Some one had sed if you want to add midi tracks to a project that this was
unaccessable from the keyboard of the mac but is there any way around this
using a control surface?
It would be interesting to have a list of the current limitations of the
software so you know what you can do and what can not be done at this point.
I realize that is a little hard to do because the list would change from
release to the next release for the better or worse at this point.

This has been the goal for at least the last ten years with Pro Tools, to
have it 100% accessible, but unfortunatly it is one step forward and two steps
back at this point. Yes control surfaces do give a greater amount of
accessibility for blind people, but it is all still limmeted.

Hello to the list.
One thing I am wondering about.
Are there control boards or consoles that one can connect to the computer
running Protools that allow functions to be performed from that control surface?
Could a person use these control consoles to do functions with Protools
that can not be done from the mac keyboard?
One idea I would think would be to get the Protools software accessable
to a point and the controls that were not accessable from the mac keyboard
could be done from one of these control surfaces or consoles.
This whole issue has me verry concerned.
If the protools software could be made accessable 100 percent, just think
what opportunitys this could open up to young blind students who are intrested
in multitrack recording.
This could be possible employment for some in studios making a good
living at what they love to do.
