One final thought on this. Not necessarily a deal breaker but if you are planning to work with sighted individuals or you want to demo Reaper then keep in mind that although you can access it, what you are doing has absolutely nothing to do with what is displayed visually on screen. This means that sighted people can’t actually see how you are working in Reaper.

Yes agree with phill regarding sonar. It has not been accessible for some years now.

Not sure about sonar though, I take it some probably still use it though, version 8 or whatever it is.

That being said, you have a leg up by being familiar with the software and terminology already. There are issues with third party plugins sometimes, but PT itself is insanely accessible, as are all Avid plugins and most of the established plugin companies like Waves and Izotope. Flo Tools makes everything quicker and helps with some of the few accessibility gaps. It’ll be a learning curve, but it’s the way to go on a Mac. I was a Windows guy before going blind, and didn’t have the chance to use PT with eyesight. I always wanted to, so I’m grateful for Avid’s work. If Mac isn’t an option, I hear Reaper or an old edition of Cakewalk Sonar should work. There are groups like this list for those softwares’ accessibility I think.

I haven't used ProTools since going blind and am wondering how easy it is to get back on the horse from the blind perspective? I have heard about Flo Tools so am wondering how accessible this makes ProTools? The project I would be working on is not too track heavy, it is 9 half hour TV programmes mainly consisting of sync, nat sound and music. Could you advise on best place to start learning ProTools/Flo Tools and let me know if the Flo Tools application is mac only or can it run on PC? Also is it possible to do all editing/scrubbing/automation mixing and tweaking of paramaters for plugins etc. Many thanks for your help.
