Protools is a third party application, to my knowledge its much like Cakewalk and Sonar so if you're not into recording music then its probably not worth your while buying. Then there's the question of accessibility? Last I heard Protools - or the latest version thereof - was not accessible with Voiceover at this time so what are you left with if you want to do multi track recording on a Mac? As I said in my original reply on this thread, I'm not sure about the capabilities of Garage Band having not used it myself so people would do well to point their browsers to http://www.icanworkthisthing.com and read the tutorials and articles posted by users of Garage Band there.
I do know that if standard or multi track audio recording/editing is what's required then there's a very good accessible application called Amadeus Pro, I've been using this software now for 3 years and the developer has been very receptive to the needs of the users of the software, hence we've had a lot of accessibility improvements and shortcut key combinations included into the software over a period of time, thanks to all those who have written to the developer of the software alongside me with the specific goal of further enhancing this product. Amadeus Pro is probably the cheapest accessible multi track audio recorder/editor on the market at just under $50.00 On 03/04/2010, at 6:34 PM, Gary Wood wrote: > I think that Protools is an Apple product, but for professionals. > ----- Original Message ----- From: "DJ DOCTOR P" <djdoct...@att.net> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 10:06 AM > Subject: Re: multi track recording > > >> Hello Dain, >> I was talking to someone at Apple the other day about a Mack Book Pro. >> I said something to him about Voice Over and audio editors for the Mack. >> He said something about Garage Band, if I'm spelling that right. >> Only if you don't mind, I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into by >> making the switch from a PC to a Mack. >> For starters, in audio recording and editing, what can the Mack do that the >> PC can't. >> Thinks in advance. >> My best regards. >> John. >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" >> <grtd...@internode.on.net> >> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >> Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 10:49 AM >> Subject: Re: multi track recording >> >> >>> Are you talking here from a portable device specifically?
