Hi Darragh, and welcome aboard!

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
