Ted,
You need to understand that I know nothing about ProTools 1st. I'm not sure
if it will be accessible or not. I've heard that it won't be, and that was
said by Slau himself. I really kind a wish you'd asked before just plunging
on the list to get it. That said, it's not, in your defense, like you
waisted any money, being it's supposed to be free.
The other thing is, I'm unsure just how watered down it will be, though I
hear it really won't be worth it for anyone who is serious about creating
audio. Maybe I'm over paranoid, but this is what I'm told.
Chris.

Thanks for the info on protools. I signed up yesterday to receive protools
first and am looking forward to it. Right now I have logic pro as well and
find it workable but not as easy as I think it could or should be. Also, if
I do anything commercially, the idea of “that’s what the pros us” carries
some weight as well.
Chris, you did very well on the song as well. As soon as I get some
recordings with the new macbook under my belt, I’ll post them somewhere for
those interested to hear. Once again, thanks for the good info.

Hey Chris, great information. I might just check out ProTools Sunday and
that tutorial looks like it might be a great help. Oh, by the way that too
and you did digging up bones, really great job I liked it.

The most accessible version is the 12, the last one, right?
Anything from version 9 all the way up to 12 will work, but V12 is going
to probably be your best bet. You don't need the HD version. I think
for what you say you're going to be doing, just the standard PT12 will do
you fine.
You wrote:
More, may I open in PT 12 the same project I've worked on Garageband?
The short answer, no. The long answer, no, but yes. No, you cannot open
the actual Garageband project from within ProTools, but if you first
export the project from GB as a wave file, an m4A, or even an mp3, then
those files can be imported on to a track within ProTools, inside your
ProTools session.
You wrote:
Has PT 12 its own keyboard to play, I mean the computer keyboard as
Garageband.
It does, yes, but I don't know about the accessibility of it. That's why
I told you about the PTAccess mailing list. If you join, someone on
there could surely help you.
As for there being an active dialog, yes. There are a few of us,
especially Slau Halliton who has been using ProTools for over 12 years,
who has been in contact with Avid, formerly Digidesign, almost since the
beginning of PT accessibility back in the OS8 days with Outspoken, even
before Voiceover existed! Venny... not sure his last name, not Somarco,
a different Venny, has also been doing things since about that long and
has been in contact constantly with them. Kevin Reeves, and even Chuck
Reichel are very very very very heavily involved. None of them as much
as Slau though. Slau is gonna be your main go to, trust me.
I'd also encourage you to look at:
http://www.protoolswithspeech.com
which is ran by a guy named Matt Diemert.
It will cost you about $50 to get the tutorials, but all total it is
around 8 and a half hours worth of training material with Voiceover and
ProTools. It has proved to be invaluable! I cannot even begin to tell
you how much I've learned from that audio guide.
Yes, I did some stuff on Applevis, but please don't use it. It's not
complete, and honestly it's very very out of date.
If you want to check out Logic, which I personally don't care for, but,
it's your judgement, you can look at:
http://www.icanworkthisthing.com
That site is ran by a blind Logic user named Keith Reety.
I personally hate his audio tutorials. He's not very explanatory, and he
goes very very very quickly, and doesn't really seem to demonstrate
anything as much as just kind a run his mouth. That's only my opinion
though of very many others.
Here is a recording I did all me playing and singing in ProTools. This
should give you an idea of what you can do.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16962268/I%27m%20Diggin%20up%20Bones.mp3
Anyone of you on this list are more than welcome to grab this and have a
listen. It's not going anywhere.
If any of you have ProTools and would like the raw session to practice
with, let me know. I still have it and would be happy to zip it up.
As for PT12 having its own software instruments, yes. There is a
collection called Air Creative. In here are 3 things.
Mini Grand, which is a piano sample. Personally, I'd prefer using
Synthogy's Ivory, but that's quite pricy.
Built in, you also get a great Hamand B3 modeler, but I don't recall its
exact name. Finally you get the XPand2 libraries, which is over 300
different samples which are modeled from actually instruments. They are
true samples. It's not just a software synth, although, they are
triggered via a midi controller/keyboard, or through the on screen
keyboard you'd play with the mac keyboard. Again, I don't know of its
accessibility though, I'm sorry.
Let me know if you'd like some more help!
Chris.
