Hi Darragh,
Welcome aboard.
I'm one of the silent ones on the list that pops up from time to time.
I use audio and midi for all of my projects, but I'm using a PC. I'm not
sure about how you have your Mac set up for audio, but as you can tell, the
list has plenty of people that can help you with your project for both if
you need it. As you get farther along, always askanytime. I've been on this
list off and on for a few years now, and everyone has been a big help for
me.
James

Well I did get a copy of Sonar with my mic but haven't had much success as
of yet with learning it. Are the Cake Talk scrips something additional I
need? If so, where abouts do I obtain them?
I'm not working to much with audio on my Mac as I'm trying to see what seems
to be the best avenue to take with production with blindness. I am totally
blind too just so you all know.
Thanks for the reply

Not sure about the equipment or equivalent gear that would serve you better
in terms of accessibility; Are you using Cakewalk's Sonar program with the
CakeTalking scripts? That would certainly go along way in giving you
accessibility to the nuts and bolts of recording and editing as well as a
number of software synthesizers and effects. From what I understand, there's
limited access to Mac-based software; however, there are some folks around
who are doing some things with it, but I don't know the degree of sight that
they have. Right now, Sonar, along with the CakeTalking scripts from Dancing
Dots, is pretty much it for real accessibility so you can do serious
recording and editing - especially if you're a totally blind computer user.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers!
Mike

Hello everyone,
Just introducing myself as well as starting off with some questions.
My name is Darragh and I have been totally blind since 2003 and I use Mac
and PC. I currently help with production for J and J FM and host a couple
shows that are recorded.
I have always been into music but came across many challenges when I lost my
sight and actually gave up until this past year and have found many helpful
ideas and software and people.
I recently sold my MPC1000 and I am in search for an accessible alternative.
I am thinking about the new Native Mashine mikro. Are there any suggestions
for me as far as a sampler or drum machine that some one may have experience
with? I've heard about something called Poise but can't find anything on it.
Thank you again and I look forward to helping and consulting with you,
Darragh Ryan
