Hi Nick, I agree we need to go to places around where we live if avid is going to be showing off pro tools 10 and show them the accessibility issues as the more they see the issues we are having learning or using it they could improve their documentation most importantly VoiceOver

Chuck, what are you talking about? Avid themselves said they would not support VoiceOver questions specifically because they don't have the resources and they're specifically not announcing any official compatibility. Who is telling you that tech support should address questions regarding

Hi, I think what they are saying is avid needs to be made aware of the accessibility issues we are having with pro tools where they exist and that they don't officially support voice over usage but really what needs to be addressed more is the documentation and fixes. I was also told by

Hello all, I am getting ready to take the mac plunge, and I was wondering what people might would recommend. I am looking at getting the macbook pro with the 15-inch monitor, and the quad cor i7 processor but upgrading the drive to 8 gigs. Was kind of wondering what people are using who are

I'm using a MacBook Pro 15 for all my recording, in fact, I'm using BootCamp from the same machine now to write you this email, so in short, they're awesome machines. As possibly one of the newest members to this list, I didn't find the very basics of Pro Tools too hard to get into. Alls I had

Hi. The 15 inch mac book pro with I7 processor is a great machine and upgrading your ram to eight gigs would give you even more horsepower for plug ins etc! I have one and use it all the time. I have a dual boot system setup with Mac OS X on one half and Windows seven 64 bit on the other half. (I

Personally I'd say get the solid state drive now upgrade RAM later. I have 2 current gen macs an air and iMac both with 4GB of Ram and both had handled mixing Pro Tools Projects with about 12 to 16 tracks and a healthy amount of plugins with no hiccups. As current Macs stand the hard drives in

Hi, I have the mac book pro 17 inch and yes you should upgrade the ram to 8 gigs it will cost you a little but it is well worth it. I myself upgraded the ram and I say it is best to get it done at an early stage then a later one when you really need the memory. I agree that more for the
