Re: Presentation of Rockbox on a Talking MP3 Player
Hi Laz: I also do a weekly technology show for the blind, focusing on mainstream technology and how this is made accessible and saw your company yesterday. Would you be willing to come on next weekend sometime to talk about your company and its products? Please send me an email offline and we can talk.

Re: latency using Midi on XP
Hi Nick. I say if you can run a virtual machine, virtualize Mac. You might be interested in getting protools/logic, but if you're not, just install the basic Mac OS and use something like Garageband. That should work for your needs. Jorge On Feb 3, 2011, at 3:20 PM, Nick Adamson wrote: Hi All. I'm new to the list, I'm nick, a software engineer from the UK. When I was in my teens I did quite a bit of messing around with midi. I used cakewalk express and used their virtual piano software as an input device. This was on a windows 98 box. Recently I've wanted to get back to doing a bit of composing again so managed to find the cakewalk express disk and had a play around. cakewalk seems to work fine on my XP laptop but the midi out on xp seems to have about half a second latency making it unworkable. I've tried downloading the yamaha soft synth which seemed to have the same problem. I've also tried using fluid synth which claims to be a real-time sound font synth. I don't know much about sound fonts and although the latency was better with that it still wasn't usable and XP seemed to grind to a crawl. I'd be happy to here any suggestions for getting this to work so that I can have playback and record at the same time. The box isn't the best in the world but it's way more powerful than the old windows 98 box I had. I can run virtual machines on it so it should be easily powerful enough to do midi. Any ideas gladly received. Thanks. Nick.

mixers
Hi all: Just wondering if you guys could recommend any good mixers. I've heard of the Mackie Onyx 820I , but that's a bit towards the high end. Do you think I'm better off saving up for, and getting a Mackie Onyx 820I or is there any good one that would work for podcasting/music production on a lower level price? I don't want to spend more mony then I have to on a mixer, but at the same time I want to make sure I don't buy a piece of junk. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Actually there is a version of Audacity for the Mac and it works quite well. I would also recommend that you consider Amadeus Pro. I don't have the url right off hand, but Google is your friend. I believe it costs around $30 and it might just meet your needs. I think you can try it before you buy it as well. Good luck with the Mac.

Re: Apple TV up and running
Hi Dane: Just wondering if you'd care to share your thoughts and experience with us. I am the executive writer for a technology site focusing on assistive technology and accessibility and was wondering if you'd like to write a guest post for us on how the process went. Please let me know. Jorge On Jan 5, 2011, at 5:58 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: Hi! As promised to the list quite some time ago I'd report on my Apple TV though it seems that other people have beaten me to the punch which is excellent! Unfortunately my delay was due to the fact that I had to rely on sighted assistance to update the Apple TV units firmware, version 4.0 doesn't come with Voiceover and that's what the Apple TV was running when I purchased it. Then came the problem of sighted help not having 24 hours to spare smile, in the time allotted me by sighted assistance I couldn't get the device connected to the Internet to download the 4.1 firmware update so a different approach was required, got Sighted assistance to drop the unit in to their local Apple Store. The units firmware was updated without a problem as I knew it would be and I'd hoped to be using the Apple TV on Christmas night but this was not to be due to the fact that Sighted Assistance had too much more important Christmasy-type stuff on his mind thus forgot completely about the Apple TV, yours truly is certainly not complaining as Sighted Assistance had been in discussions with Santa for some time about my Christmas Ipad-type present which I very gratefully received, I lost enough sleep setting that up on Christmas Night thanks and I can only begin to imagine just how much more sleep I would have lost setting up an Apple TV too! smile. But all's well that end's well, Sighted Assistance turned up today with Apple TV and Voiceover enabled, i have it connected to my wi-fi network and the unit is performing far better than I would have believed possible. I've already started writing about it on my Twitter pages and I'll shortly be writing some notes and observations on Apple TV for my blog. TO summaries, this little square box puts audio and video from computers and the Internet right into the palm of your hand literally thanks to the well designed remote control, without Voiceover such a device would be almost completely pointless for me, surfing radio stations, podcasts and so on are now done from the comfort of my armchair rather than from the comfort of my executive chair in front of the computer or by perching an Iphone on my shoulder or an Ipad on my chest smile.
