Sonar hasn’t been accessible since 8.5.3 and I wouldn’t recommend using it on 
Windows 10.  There’s also Samplitude Pro X Suite which is largely based on 
Sequoia.  That’s another accessible alternative on Windows and you can read 
about it here and access the Samplitude Access YouTube channel and join the VIP 
Audio E-mail list on the following website:

Subject: Re: Accessibility with Pro Tools

 

There is a mail list for reaper, and an entire wikki on the subject as well 
with guides on getting started and what not. Not sure about sonar though, I 
take it some probably still use it though, version 8 or whatever it is.

Pro Tools is only accessible on Mac. That being said, you have a leg up by 
being familiar with the software and terminology already. There are issues with 
third party plugins sometimes, but PT itself is insanely accessible, as are all 
Avid plugins and most of the established plugin companies like Waves and 
Izotope. Flo Tools makes everything quicker and helps with some of the few 
accessibility gaps.

 

It’ll be a learning curve, but it’s the way to go on a Mac. I was a Windows guy 
before going blind, and didn’t have the chance to use PT with eyesight. I 
always wanted to, so I’m grateful for Avid’s work.

 

If Mac isn’t an option, I hear Reaper or an old edition of Cakewalk Sonar 
should work. There are groups like this list for those softwares’ accessibility 
I think.

 

I hope this helps,

Mike

I am a former sighted ProTools user and have been asked to work on a project 
for TV broadcast.  I haven't used ProTools since going blind and am wondering 
how easy it is to get back on the horse from the blind perspective?  I have 
heard about Flo Tools so am wondering how accessible this makes ProTools? The 
project I would be working on is not too track heavy, it is  9 half hour TV 
programmes mainly consisting of sync, nat sound and music. 

 

Could you advise on best place to start learning  ProTools/Flo Tools and let me 
know if the Flo Tools application is mac only or can it run on PC? Also is it 
possible to do all editing/scrubbing/automation mixing and tweaking of 
paramaters for plugins etc.

 

Many thanks for your help.
