What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person?

Hi, Here's the next newbie question: I understand that an Apple keyboard with numeric pad is mor or less required to use PT effectively as a blind person, but what more is required to be effectively using PT? Can a midi keyboard act as a control surface or do you require that too if you get a

I agree with the control surface thoughts. You can affectivly do things on the key board, but you cut your time in half, if not by more with a control surface. Also, I think for the most part if you are on a budget that the Digidisign 002 or 003 mixers are the most practical root for intry

Hey guys, Since I am getting protools, perhaps I should get the control surface along with it. Any suggestions on what to get? I might as well do this out of the gate. Sincerest Regards, Jed -Original Message- From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com [mailto:ptaccess@googlegroups.com] On

And for that matter, I'd stick with the 003 mixer version because it includes at least their version of a scrub wheel which is also quite helpful. Slau On Jan 26, 2013, at 2:03 PM, Poppa Bear wrote: I agree with the control surface thoughts. You can affectivly do things on the key board,

That is true. I have the command-8 and it doesn't have the scrub wheel. In spite of all that it is still a very nice surface. -Original Message- From: ptaccess@googlegroups.com [mailto:ptaccess@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Slau Halatyn Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 1:04 PM To:

Hi Nate, Since a sighted user would simply look at the waveform display in the Edit window, there's no command in Pro Tools for such a thing. Here's what you can do to verify whether there's something in an audio track and I'd consider these steps increasing in verification: 1. For a track

Good control surfaces

Hey gang, I'm thinking I would get a control surface for protools, any good ones? I like the scrub wheel idea. Does this also act as an in and out for plugging in mics and stuff, or is it strictly control. I think the scrub wheel thing would rock. Thanks,Jed --

Hi, I have the digi 003 which you can still find on line. It has 8 sliding up and down controls which move with pro tools so you can feel your levels. I like it for a new pro tools user. My digi 003 came in a box wrapped up and all. It can record in 24 bit 96 KHZ so it is a good system and

Hi, Not sure of the maker if you do searches for digi 003 or go to a professional audio electronics store like the guitar center you should be able to find out all you need to know. If you are going to school like me then asking your instructors or other classmates would also be a good option.

I'm using the Project Mix I/O. Like the Digi003 (I think), it has 8 mic pre amps. I've not got the transport bar to work, but then I haven't tried with it much. I'm using it as both control surface, and sound module, and I think it's great. It also has the advantage of being cheap. However, it's

Another slightly dirty way to do it, if you've got an audio track with data on it, a MIDI track with MIDI on it, etc, is right click it in the track table and go to delete. If it's got stuff on it, it'll ask you to confirm. I suspect it's undoable if not, but I'm not sure. HTH, On 26/01/2013,
