Hi all,
I am learning about mixing audio tracks in my Music Technology class.  My
lecturers and sighted friends use Cubase, so I need guidance in my Sonar:
1. How do I know that the peak level of my track is even? For instance, the
healthier peak level is from bar1-20, and the thinner one is from bar 24-32.
For my friends, they can see and click to the section that they wan. How can
I identify peak level of the certain section in Sonar? I know that pressing
F2 will announce the peak level, but I think, it's only applied to the
beginning of my track. Am I correct?
 
Phil replied: the F2 keystroke will check the peak level, no matter where
you are in a project.

things that blind users can or cannot do because of the compressor's
accessibility?
 
Phil replied: the Sonitus_FXCompressor is fully accessible with Cake Talking
and HotSpotClicker support.
 
Winy wrote: 3. Besides compressor in Sonar, what accessible compressor stand
alone software do you use?
 
Phil replied: that's an interesting question.  Sonar ships with a ton of
accessible affects, including affects for compression, reverb, delay chorus
etc.  All of these can be applied in real-time.
