MessageI'm dealing with this problem atm... My schools recording studio is all 
Pro Tools based and my stuff is Sonar based. So what we have Hypothesized would 
be the best thing to do would be to have a fire-wire drive so we can transfer 
from 1 computer to another. I was told that having the dule-boot-up system 
would not be the best thing because there was some problems with all the 
hardware and whatnot not working smoothly. But My teachers have been talking to 
the guys at Avid who are in charge of the accessibility on Pro Tools and they 
said there wouldn't ever be full accessibility for Pro Tools because for one 
it's not worth their time, and second they don't want to compete with Sonar 
which already is way more accessible than pro Tools could be in a long time.
So I'd advise getting your own custom built DAW with Sonar.
And BTW I think the person you are wanting to be would be a mixer... I believe 
mastering usually comes along with that, but here where I am you go to a group 
of people for recording, go to another person for mixing then for mastering, 
then you go to your producer if you have one and they say yes or no then 
depending on what other people you have on your production loop it gets 
printed. So the guys who add affects like that are usually the mixers.
Mastering is more of the details, after it gets mixed there is still like a 
vibe that needs to be gotten out of the sound and a feel that the music needs 
to send out and the mastering guy amplifies that.
But basically (I know here) you should know how to do everything at least a 
little... I'm more in the mixing, mastering and performing stuff, but I still 
do miking and engineering if I can... :P
Hope this helps and sorry for my long sentences...

Hi.  So you could have a dual boot machine of course.  Sometimes you need to 
use another OS for some tasks, so, you'd have it there if required.

 

For example, you could have pro tools on the mac OS X side, and, sonar on the 
windows side.

What would be the purpose for doing that?

Sonar is a Windows only product.  It is possible to run Windows on a Mac.   
that requires a separate Windows partition running under Bootcamp or VM Fusion. 
 Your Mac behaves as if it were a Windows PC when this partition is invoked.

  Hi list,

  I'm considering getting a Mac, and was wondering what support is available 
for Dancing Dots products. Also, can Braille displays such as the one that is 
part of the Pac Mate work with Macs?

  Thanks,
  Chelsea
