Hi Mark its Michael Ciarciello from Montreal. I have been playing music since the age of 7 years when I started on the accordian, and then switched to guitar and bass, and keyboards at the age of 11 years. I have since then been in a few band some winning contests, and recordings too. Now I run a small time recording home studio, and its growing slowly, and am teaching music software at the rehab centre where I get to train Jaws for Windows, and Sonar, and Caketalking, along with GoodFeel. I also do teach guitar bass, and vocals as well, and I work steadily at a church here in Montreal, and am involved in playing weddings, and rock gigs here and there. I graduated from Concordia Univercity in a batchlers in Performance in music, and am very proud of that. I am also taking my masters in educational technology in hopes of bettering my knolege for technology, and computers and music. Oh yeah not to mention that I am married too.
My wife believes in me greatly, and really wants me to succeed.You asked on weather or not it would be a worth while investment to purchase Jaws along with Sonar 8, and the scripts for Sonar. Let me put it to you this way, if your wanting to have a steady script, and work to grow in learning how to use Sonar, it would definatly be a worth while investment. Arguably there are free scripts that Vic has designed to make Sonar work, but you will greatly benifit from Ct's shortcuts, and tutorials. David Pinto the creator of Caketalking really puts lots of time for us giveing us in what my opinion is the greatest kick ass scripts you'll ever find on the planet. When I started this music recording thing back in 1992 I went from one failure to another, testing out all sorts of screen readers out there, and sequencing programs which did not work at all. In all I think I may have spent about $4000 and nothing was working at all. One day my brother and I were sitting in our basement, and we gave it one more crack at getting Cubase to work with Jaws, and Windows bridge which at the time was a pretty good screen reader. However in the end we couldn't get Cubase to work at all with any screen reader, and I started to become very discouraged. Infact I almost gave the whole recording and writing music thing up which was in 1996. After four years of battleing it out, I didn't feel that I had any hope left in contributing to the univercity degree as well. However my brother gave me one word of encouragement, and that was to tell me that I shouldn't give up, that I'm sure something would come out of all of this. With that in mind the next morning I woke up, and called my local music shop, and asked them for the number for Cakewalk. The guy at the store however told me that at the time Cakewalk wasn't as powerfull as Cubase, but I told him of my situation and he wished me lots of luck in my adventure. At any rate after speaking to a gentleman at Cakewalk, he told me of a gentleman who was developing a product called GoodFeel, which would enable midi music to be translated in to braille using Cakewalk, in conjunction with Goodfeel. It was from then on that since dealing with Dancingdots, that I decided that this was finally the right path to take. I began working with Cakewalk and Gordon's scripts which now Vic has taken over, but still felt that there was something lacking from Gord's script even though I really appreciated the fact that at least I had something to work with and it at the time that I thank Gord too, as well as bill. Ok to make a long story short, I have been working with Ct, and Sonar, from 2000, til present, and will soon finally get a copy of Goodfeel. I can't begin to express the importance of how Bill has made it possible for all of us on this list to be successfull, and Dave, and Gord too. You might be probablly be thinking that I am pitching for you to buy CT, but believe you me, its definatly worth the money, and Dancing dots, and the support staff like Brian Smart, and Albert, and Bill, and Mary Pat, "Have I forgotton anyone," at Dancingdots are definatly there to support you should you require technical assistance.
hope this helps.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Dew" <jmkeybd1@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello folks, My name is Mark Dew and I live in St. Louis Missouri. I do piano-bar work here in St. Louis 4 nights a week. On the job, I use the Yamaha p90 digital piano and the Roland Fantom X7. I also use the Roland PK5 bass pedals and the Alesis Drum machine. I am going on my 22nd year there now. I have been using Sonar 2.0 for about 6 years now. I am a Wineyes screen reader user. I have just upgraded to Sonar 8.0. Because of Windoweyes, what i get out of Sonar is some what limited.I am considering switching to jaws screen reader and perchasing Caketalkingas well. My question is, what to I need to watch out for and how well do the 3 programs Sonar, Jaws and caketalking work together. This is going to be a big exspense perchase. I would welcome any input from you all. If you wish, you can listen to some of my recordings at my web sight. http://www.markdew.com Thanks for your time and consideration.
