MessageHI there brandin, personally I have a Mac systemw ith Sonar, and
Caketalking, along with a motu, and v-studio 100 sound card, and all of my gear
is working smoothly on the duel boot system.
I think who ever told you that it wouldn't work smoothly is giving you the
wrong information.
The problem in which the duel system doesn't work properly if lets say you are
running Desktop parellel, and or Fusion, then I wouldn't recommend this system
is the drivers on some sound cards, and midi gear simply don't work smoothly.
However if you set up a duel boot, your booting streight in to windows your
system works just like a Pc as all new Macs use the same Pc components.
Another thing to note is that if you are using Jaws and Caketalking on the
Windows side of things on the Mac you will definatly need a full size desktop
keyboard to operate properly.
Infact My mac running Windows works better then the Pc desktop that I have.
Finally when I installed Windows as a separate boot on my Mac and install all
the drivers provided from the Mac Cd, my system worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.
P.S. pro tools answer in telling your teachers that they wouldn't make their
effort to make their software accessible since Sonar is more accessible, is
just a cop out from Avid's side.
I'm only hoping the the 508 code comes in to effect with the Avid Folks in the
future.

I'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.

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
