Hi Cara Thanks, I’ll keep the Focusrite 2i2 as a very simple solution in mind. But I think I’ll need a bit more than 2 ins and outs, at least at home.
On a personal note: Are you an app developer? I think I’ll give your LookTel a try, sounds interesting.

For what I am doing at the moment, I just have one of their really small ones the Scarlet 2I2 and really like it a lot. I will probably be moving up to a larger one at some point but since I am mostly doing production work and recording no more than one or two tracks at a time, the 2I2 is working wonderfully. It is USB powered and has no software component to it. It has appropriate knobs and switches on the front and connections on both front and back. It is just recognized by the Mac automagically. As far as DAWs go, I have both Logic and ProTools and would recommend either for different types of work. I will say though, that if you want straight-forward and intuitive workflow right out of the box, use ProTools! while Logic is certainly accessible and usable out of the box, if you are doing work where you are getting paid by time, wanting to do really fine editing or if you are working with anything larger than about 25 tracks or so then expect to have a whole lot of infuriating frustration with Logic and Voiceover. :) I am using it since I am doing a prolonged (relaxed) production project for friends who have it and so am learning lots about it and it’s workflows. With Voiceover though, the processes can be ridiculously convoluted and flakey to get some of the simplest things done. -Just my thoughts of course. However, depending on what you are doing, some processes are handled really nicely in Logic. There are a lot of nice conveniences and shortcuts for processes that could be really time consuming which are made really easy. My experience with PT is limited by comparison since I have been spending so much time with Logic of late, but as I said, as a whole, it is my opinion that PT is just a more streamlined and intuitive workflow over all when using VO. So take that for what it is worth. :) I like and use both for different things. I’m assuming others will chime in as well with more informed perspectives. :) Hope this helps. Cheers!

I got myself a mac a few months ago. I bought Caketalk from Dancing dots a few years ago, only to find out that it didn’t quiete work on my computer. Now I’d like to give music production on the mac a try. So, my first question here is about getting a fully accessible audio interface. What are you using ? I’d like to have a really professional device, 8 to 16 channels with digital capabilities. And the interface should be really accessible, including software mixer. For the last couple years I have an RME Fireface UC. I rely on premade presets from a sighted person. For my mac audio interface I’d like to have something I can manage myself, if this is possible at all. I don’t mind buying extra hardware like a midi controller for this to happen. And I actually have a secondth question : I just did a little experimenting with Logic Pro so far. And I was able to record a small test track with the integrated instruments this program offers in about 30 minutes of first use. This was pretty amazing. But aside that I’m totally new and aks myself wheter I should start using logic pro or pro tools for my work. I got here because someone on the Dancing Dots list suggested me posting my audio interface question on this list. Which DAW is more accessible out of the box ? Because I never had really good experience with jaws scripts using sonar I’m hoping that both programs could be used without any scripts which just work in a certain system configuration and so on. I hope I don’t sound too pesimistic and frustrated, alltough I admit that I was just that when I found out my purchase of Caketalking was for nothing after much fiddling arround at the end. But I’m willing to start anew on the mac. I like this OS so far very much. I’ve got a Macbook Pro 2015. And if things are working out fine and I need more power in order to do my things I’m considering to buy a mac pro, if there will be a new one eventually that is ... So, thanks for your help and kind regards Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
