> > Hello all, I have been watching this forum for a while and seeing all the ups and downs of Pro Tools accessibility and I wanted to ask some questions. I feel like I am about ready to move to Pro Tools from Sonar 8.5 and JSONAR. I bought Pro Tools 9 and found it to be fairly good, but with new versions of the Mac OS my Tascam FW1884 stopped being supported. This forced me back into Windows for the moment. But I am tired of JAWS and Windows and want to move strictly into Mac and Pro Tools. These are my questions:
I remember that the VO accessibility for navigating the timeline in PT9 was heavily reliant on the numpad. Can this be done with a laptop? Will I feel seriously limited using a laptop with no numpad. I have an I7 brand new mac book pro with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD so I want to use this laptop. I also have a regular mac keyboard for my iMac so I could use a full keyboard if I have to...just would prefer not to have to. How is plugin accessibility? I had heard that the new format from Avid was problematic but I do not know if that has changed. I would really like to use superior drummer and maybe a really high end general fx processor...maybe waves or something else (any recommendations?) I know that currently MIDI editing is not terribly accessible (if at all) on Pro Tools for totally blind users. I am partially sighted and used and enjoyed the midi editing capability of Sonar. Can anyone attest to how midi editing is in Pro Tools. I used to be able to right click a midi note in the piano roll view in sonar and a window would pop up allowing me to edit every aspect of that particular midi note....very easy. Since I already purchase PT9 is there an upgrade path for me or am I going to have to buy PT 11 outright? Sorry for the lengthy post but it is a lengthy decision. I appreciate any feedback you guys could provide....you all in this group are obviously the subject matter experts so I defer to your knowledge. Thanks.
