Its worth the while keeping an open mind and doing your research as there are some truly excellent products out there to be had if anyone can be bothered to take a few minutes to use their friend - and everyone’s friend - Google, do a little reading and so on.
I appreciate that everyone isn’t technically inclined when it comes to audio stuff and Computers but in many ways these days no one has to be, I think that’s one of the main reasons that the iPhone has been so successful because all choices have been made for you so all you really have to do is take the iPhone out of its box, put it on charge, turn the iPhone on, fire up Voiceover, follow some simple set-up instructions and you’re ready to go. One of the most challenging and yet most enjoyable products for me has been my Raspberry Pi which I’ve written about a few times here, I got the Media Centre XBMC going on the box and now use it with my iPhone etc. ********** Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 faceTime +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 Twitter: @grtdane > On 21 Oct 2014, at 10:59 am, Les Gordon www.cdrdvdr.com <mr...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > its great to see your posts on various topics because of giving both sides of > each thing. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <grtd...@internode.on.net> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 7:45 PM > Subject: Re: Audio On The Mac > > > That’s the way, do your research and see what you come up with. > > As far as the Mac is concerned - and other platforms as well - there are a > lot of myths about the place and - as good as the Internet is at providing > information - the Internet is also very good at providing misinformation, I > saw a review of Voiceover not long ago and it only took me a few lines of > reading to fully understand that the author unfortunately had absolutely no > idea of what he was talking about, yes he had been using computers for 20 > years but had not! read any documentation on Voiceover or the Mac let alone > done any homework on the subject or asked any questions so has far as he was > concerned?
