Hi Bill,
I emailed a colleague the other day, this is just one line from the email I
sent...
"I still can't believe that at last there's assistive technology that makes
it possible for some one with no sight to access all the capabilities of
this kind of music Production environment."
This sight has some amazing people who offer advice and support.
Thanks to Dancing Dots, we are now able to compete on a level playing field
with sighted musicians when using Sonar.
Of course, There are those who are eager to strive and move forward, this is
a good thing as they help in courage guys like me to want to learn more
about this kind of music technology.
I believe we are all aware that there's a lot of work that goes on behind
the scenes at Dancing Dots.
Looking towards the Future is of course a good thing but being grateful for
how far we have come shouldn't be forgotten.
Thank you Bill and your team,
Steve W
