some basic editing question

2010-11-24 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure something with my loops.

Lets say i stretched a loop over 8 bars, but i've chopped it up a bit to add 
different parts from other loops.

IS there actually a way of splitting a loop within bars or beats to then take 
one of those pieces and move them elsewhere?

Oh, and just a second question on the go:

In the layout items menu options, besides loop i have move left and move right 
borders.

What do they do?

Best regards,

Yuma DX®

The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Geoff Waaler
Greetings,
I meant to reply to one of Nic's recent posts, but  deleted it.  He suggested 
that if VO goes silent one could enter terminal into spotlight and then enter 
-- I forget the exact command but believe it was killallall -9 voiceover.

I tried this with and without the extra "all" and also tried inserting a space 
between the two alls, but only receive a message that no matching processes 
were found.

I'd like to get this right in case I do experience a vo crash.  May not have 
recalled the parm Nic mentioned, but I did use the one he specified (which may 
not have been -9).

TIA for any clarification, and best regards.
Geoff

Hello Jeff,

You have the right command, but you write VoiceOver wrong. It is killall -9 
VoiceOver

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Eric Oyen
the killall command works. -9 will simply force it to quit. I prefer the use of 
killall -HUP VoiceOver as it forces a reset of voiceover without going through 
all the issues of restarting it via keystrokes.  btw, you must capitalize the V 
and the O otherwise it will not find the process name.

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi!

True enough. -HUP accomplishes the same thing, though, but of course the 
parameters mean something different. I always just use -9 to ensure it actually 
quits, and it's just as efficient in the long-run. And, it's less parameters to 
type.

Re: navigating dvds on the mac

2010-11-24 Thread erik burggraaf
Hmm, well I am the wrong person to ask.  I can't see why you'd want to do 
anything with ITunes really.  I guess I use it for the odd radio station and to 
sync my ipod, but there's very little wanting involved.  When I put  a dvd into 
the mac for the first time, it opened dvd player and started to play.  Since 
dvd player works more or less exactly like power dvd on windows I never even 
thought to question it.

Someone else may be able to offer up a benefit of using ITunes for dvd's, but 
I'll take dvd player for the straightforward interface.

Best,

accessibility of Adobe Audition

2010-11-24 Thread Slau Halatyn
As some of you might already know, Adobe recently released its public beta for 
Audition for Mac, a relatively popular digital audio workstation originally for 
Windows. It's most often used for basic multitrack recording, editing and audio 
restoration. Most people working in the post-production world who are on 
Windows use this program and, by all accounts, it's quite a mature program.

Well, it's no surprise, having come from Adobe, that the program is not at all 
accessible. Now, with Pro Tools being quite accessible, I have no interest in 
Audition but, of course, it's nice to have options and, frankly, all programs 
should be accessible. Anyway, my personal attention has always been and will 
continue to be focused on Pro Tools. If there's anyone on the list who would 
like to contact Adobe regarding the accessibility of Audition, I think it would 
be a good idea, if only to remind them of accessibility as a serious 
consideration. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mention how Pro Tools and Logic 
have come along. Perhaps it won't amount to anything in the end, I don't know, 
but perhaps it might lead to an alternative. Again, having options is good.

Slau

mic settings and Facetime awith Audio Hijack

2010-11-24 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi all,

Thanks to Darcy, I have gotten Facetime to record audio by changing advanced 
and then the record all streams in Audio Hijack. Is there any way to get the 
mic not to be so loud? I can hear myself when Facetime is running as I am 
recording. It is kind of low, so I have to turn the volume on the Macbook up. 
Is there any wy  set the mic lower? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. 
Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.


Musically,
Allison

Bluetooth headsets for the mac and IOS devise

2010-11-24 Thread Rafaela Freundt
Hi All,

I need some bluetooth headset that will work both to listen to music, using the 
playback controls on the headset in both my macbook and ipod touch; but also 
that can be used with skype and for recording in both the mac and iPod touch.
I've been looking all over for one that does all this successfully, but I can't 
find it. Do you guys know of any headset that would work?
What I really want to do is be able to, in both the mac and iPod touch, use the 
headset and my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and for example have my iPod touch on 
my pocket and take notes, or move a bit leaving my mac on a fixed place.

Thanks a lot,

Rafaela Freundt

RE: accessibility of Adobe Audition

2010-11-24 Thread Cameron
Hi Slau.  that is a shame, but, I'm not surprised.

Along those same lines, I've investigated both reaper and studio 1 from
Presonus and didn't have any luck with either.

Also, cuebase and digital performer aren't accessible, but that is old news
at this point.

It's a shame.

Subject: accessibility of Adobe Audition

As some of you might already know, Adobe recently released its public beta
for Audition for Mac, a relatively popular digital audio workstation
originally for Windows. It's most often used for basic multitrack recording,
editing and audio restoration. Most people working in the post-production
world who are on Windows use this program and, by all accounts, it's quite a
mature program.

Well, it's no surprise, having come from Adobe, that the program is not at
all accessible. Now, with Pro Tools being quite accessible, I have no
interest in Audition but, of course, it's nice to have options and, frankly,
all programs should be accessible. Anyway, my personal attention has always
been and will continue to be focused on Pro Tools. If there's anyone on the
list who would like to contact Adobe regarding the accessibility of
Audition, I think it would be a good idea, if only to remind them of
accessibility as a serious consideration. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to
mention how Pro Tools and Logic have come along. Perhaps it won't amount to
anything in the end, I don't know, but perhaps it might lead to an
alternative. Again, having options is good.

PT accessibility was RE: accessibility of Adobe Audition

2010-11-24 Thread Chris Harrington
Hi,
Was wanting to start a topic of PT Accessibility, but since we're already
talking about it, I actually had some questions about it.
How much can you do with protools? Can you do automation, audio, midi,
different plugins, things like that? Also, I'm doing a career center program
for audio production, and they're using PT8. I've been trying to get them to
use 8.1, but my teacher doesn't seem to want to go through the process of
updating. I feel that is unfair to me, because it feels like all I'm there
for is to give people musical substance for their projects if that makes any
sense... I play all the music, while they're doing everything in Protools.
It's really aggravating and I'm considering dropping the course... I don't
want to take it out on my teacher, he's tried working with me to make sure I
get some of the substance, but it's just really pissing me off that all I
can do is pretty much sit their when the music's done, and wait for them to
edit. Then if they do something wrong, then I want to fix it but can't...
lol.
OK, I'm done ranting, any insights you all can give would be great!!!

Running Firefox on your mac

2010-11-24 Thread brandt
Hi there folks,

I know that firefox for the mac is not accessible, but ubuntu and windows is. 
Are there a free option for running either on the mac that's accessible with 
VO? I'm not planning on buying much software wize for the mac. The darn thing 
is already expensive.

Regards,

Brandt Steenkamp

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Kevin Mattingly
kill is a unix command for stopping a process. The kill -9 is like yanking the 
rug out from under something. There is nothing graceful about it. Some 
processes should never be stopped using it. If you really need to blow a 
process away, you may just be better off to reboot your mac.

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Hai Nguyen
Good afternoon  all,
The following Apple script will cause VO to restart gracefully. I suggest for 
optimum efficiency to associate this script with a keyboard shortcut so that it 
can be executed with one keystroke in the event VO freezes.

Re: Running Firefox on your mac

2010-11-24 Thread Doug Lawlor
Hi Brandt,
The option you have is to buy VMWare Fusion and either run a copy of Windows as 
a virtual machine or you  could also run Vinux from http://Vinux.org.uk which 
is a free option if you don't want to purchase another Windows license. You 
would still have to purchase Fusion though.

 True enough. -HUP accomplishes the same thing, though, but of course the

Another way that works.
tell application "VoiceOver"
quit
delay 0.1
activate
end tell

 Whoa -9 and -hup do * not * do the same thing.
 
 
 -9 is a kill all with no graceful shutdown.  -HUP is a restart, -1 is a

RE: Bluetooth headsets for the mac and IOS devise

2010-11-24 Thread LaMcAs
I've not used them on Skype ... yet but do intend to.

I'm still trying to work out how to get the headset to see 2 devices - my
iPhone and iPod at the same time just a matter of scanning the manual in.

With a Bluetooth receiver (one is also recommended on the page @ £3.99 I
believe), which I've bout though still have to test.

I wonder when it will come to the mac?

2010-11-24 Thread heather kd5cbl
Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of accessible multi platform and 
cloud-based solutions which can be accessed from anywhere, is proud to 
announce the release of DocuScan Plus. This innovative software allows 
persons to scan and read documents from any computer with an attached 
Twain-compliant scanner,  sound card and internet connection.




Serotek's DocuScan Plus offers high-quality optical character recognition, 
(OCR), to convert the printed page in to text.  This self-voicing 
application can read both printed pages from a Twain-compliant scanner, as 
well as many types of PDF files, including those containing text and those 
containing only images.  The software also supports scanners with duplex and 
ADF (automatic document feeder) capabilities.DocuScan Plus can convert 
scanned documents in to MP3 audio files for playback on many portable 
devices, and the software can even convert scanned materials in to the 
popular DAISY format.  For Low Vision users, DocuScan Plus also offers a 
full Screen Magnifier for the reading of scanned text. This magnification 
option, when combined with the self voicing features of DocuScan Plus, 
allows documents to be comfortably read from the screen as well as via 
text-to-speech.  Materials can also be saved in Large Print. In this way, 
documents can be scanned, printed, and shared with friends or viewed offline 
under a Video magnifier.




"We wanted to create an affordable application that really took in to 
account the way we access the printed word in the 21st century.", said Mike 
Calvo, CEO. "We don't spend all our time on one computer, or even one device 
anymore, so why should we  be using software based on that model?  When we 
make a product like this, with a feature set that's useful to people with a 
wide variety of disabilities,and it's just as easy to use from the classroom 
computer as it is from home, we believe it has the potential to open a lot 
of doors that have remained closed until now."




The DocuScan Plus software can be used as an installed program from your 
personal computer, or it can be accessed from any computer simply by 
visiting http://www.DocuScanPlus.com.  The program may be purchased for only 
$299, or less than one third of the cost of < /span>


other scanning solutions.



Other features included are:



Braille Conversion: DocuScan Plus contains Braille translation options, 
allowing you to convert your scanned pages and PDF files into a variety of 
different braille formats based on the specific translation table you 
choose.


Save To Kindle: Wirelessly Transfer scanned documents to the Amazon Kindle 
for reading on the go using the Kindle's built in text to speech function.


Export Scanned Text: Save documents and materials to a computer or portable 
DAISY player for offline reading.


Encrypted Online Storage: Save documents securely to the cloud and retrieve 
them from anywhere.


Additional Synthesizer Support: Choose from a variety of synthesizers for 
use with this self-voicing application.


Additional Support For Mobile Platforms: DocuScan Plus will support some 
external camera and mobile phone platforms. This functionality will come 
free with DocuScan Plus and it is currently scheduled for release in the 
first quarter of 2011.




DocuScan Plus may be used independently of any other Serotek software. The 
application  can allow persons to read the printed page with any 
Windows-based computer, regardless of whether any access technology has been 
installed or is currently running.




For more information, please call Serotek Corporation at (612) 246-4818, or 
email us at sa...@serotek.com.

I also noticed that this method takes longer for VO to restart.

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Scott Granados
Oh the kill command is a throwback to the unix underpinnings of the mac.  On 
unix devices you use the kill command to restart or kill a prcess.  Processes 
have id numbers and process names which can be used to identify the process you 
want to restart or kill.

Something like
kill -1 1 reruns the init process and restarts
something like kill -HUP 914 will kill process tagged with the ID 914 and 
restart similar to a reload
a kill -9 2332 will kill and not restart the process tagged with 2332 and also 
will not allow 2332 to gracefull shutdown.

It's all about process control.

there is also pkill in some systems where you can do 
pkill -hup named and restart the process called named or bind in this case.

pkill -HUP inetd will restart the inetd process etc.

Hope that clears it up a little.

DVDRemaster Pro on sale for half price in today's MacUpdate Promo

2010-11-24 Thread Esther

Hi,

List members who have followed the recent discussion on "moving to a  
computer-based entertainment system" may be interested in DVDRemaster  
Pro, which is on sale for half price ($24.99) for the next 12 hours as  
today's MacUpdate promo.  Some of the advantages over the free  
Handbrake are that, according to reviews I've read comparing the two,  
and based on the comments of people who switched to using this app, is  
that DVDRemaster Pro will rip you DVD 3 times faster than Handbrake.   
You can also separately extract audio tracks, and in the latest  
version you can preserve multiple audio tracks (for several  
languages).  Massimo's post to Donna, listing links to either VLC  
media player and Fairmount to deal with DRM linked to the Metakine  
(maker of DVDRemaster Pro) site for the Fairmount helper application.   
This program also handles dual-density DVDs.  One of the members of  
the mac-access list worked with the developers to improve VoiceOver  
accessibility (which was pretty good to start off with).


Here's the MacUpdate Promo page URL:
http://www.mupromo.com/

New purchasers will have to create an account, which requires a one- 
time negotiation of a CAPTCHA.  Mac users can get assistance from the  
Solona site to negotiate the CAPTCHA:

http://www.solona.net/

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: some basic editing question

2010-11-24 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

I can answer your 2nd question.  Lets say you want to get rid of 2 bars of a 
piano track in the middle of a 16 bar verse.  You can use the split region 
command (command T) to have these to bars as there own region.  Then delete the 
region these 2 bars occupied.  Now you will find you have a 2 bar gap in your 
piano track.  Now lets say you want to fill in the gap.  You can move the 
border of the region before the 2 bar gat 2 the left by selecting that region 
and selecting move right border.  Same thing If you want to fill in the gap 
with the region to the right of the 2 bar gap.  This time you would select move 
left border and press the left arrow key until the gap is filled.

adium and facebook chat

2010-11-24 Thread John D. Lipsey
Hi list:

As of last night, Adium refuses to work properly with facebook chat.  It says 
I'm connected to facebook chat, but none of my contacts show up in my online 
list.  However, if someone writes me a message, they'll show up.  They show up 
forever, though.  Even if I know they're no longer online it still shows them 
as online until I restart Adium.

Thoughts?

Re: Apple TV question

2010-11-24 Thread Scott Howell
To dovetail onto this discussion, does anyone know if it is possible to put 
music and other content on a drive, attach to an AirPort Extreme router, and 
allow streaming to the Apple TV? I thought I had read somewhere that an update 
to the Extreme's software would allow for this. However, I could be wrong.

Thanks,
Scott

Chris,

I'll gladly answer your questions and I'm sure others might have something to 
offer but, for a few good reasons, it would be much more beneficial for you to 
join the Pro Tools Access mailing list and let's have the conversation there. 
Please do me a favor and repost this message there. To subscribe, send a

Thanks so much,

Re: The KillAll command

2010-11-24 Thread Jim Barbour
Actually,kill sends a signal to a process. Hup, or 1, usually restarts a 
process. However,  it is up to each program to define how it reacts to any 
signal.

The two exceptions are the kill signal (9) and the stop signal (26 I think). 
These signals can not be seen by the program. The OS shuts down or pauses the 
process.

 True enough. -HUP accomplishes the same thing, though, but of course the 
 parameters mean something different. I always just use -9 to ensure it

Working With Date Field in the To-do Area

2010-11-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I'm wondering how to enter the date for to-do item? It seems that I can simply 
type it in, but at times, I hear something filled in automagically, so it's a 
bit confusing. The VO hint just says it's an edit field, but I have the feeling 
it's more than that.

TIA
Teresa

Stickies?

2010-11-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi all,

I've just discovered Stickies, the app for sticky-notes. It seems that it's 
simply a notepad for jotting down this or that. Am I missing something, or does 
it not have a way to set up reminders with popup windows and that sort of 
thing? Does one just leave the text window open till the task is done?

TIA,
Teresa

Re: Stickies?

2010-11-24 Thread Slau Halatyn
Stickies visually emulates what so many people sometimes do with sticky notes: 
they literally stick them right on the screen. If the program is running, the 
notes will be visible on screen. They do have an option for transparency so 
people can leave them up and not be too distracted. I don't know of any 
reminder functionality. I suppose it might be useful but I think it's really 
meant to emulate a real sticky note stuck to the screen. You can create 
multiple notes and save them. When you launch the program, all of the notes 
appear. You can cycle through them with Command-` (accent). I use Stickies all 
the time just to jot down quick bits of information for later transfer to 
whatever area is appropriate. For example, while it's possible to enter a 
contact into Address Book, it's often way too inefficient, especially if one 
needs to use some customized fields and change work/home settings, etc. Now, I 
haven't tried this but, if Stickies could detect data like address or date to 
be able to bring up a contextual menu to "add to Address Book" or "create new 
ical event," that would rock.

appletv not recognizing playlists

2010-11-24 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hey list,

So yea voice over is on the appletv. But just a question for those who do have 
it, have any of you been able to see your own movie playlists when browsing 
around?

On my appletv i get unknown playlist instead of all the different playlists and 
folders i've created on my itunes library.

This means that i have to painstakingly browse one by one on all movies in the 
main movies library.

This is a pain, and hoping this is an isolated issue otherwise i will report 
this over to apple 


Best regards,

Yuma DX®

Re: iPhone 3gS and switching to the Mac

2010-11-24 Thread Carolyn Haas
Hi sarai:
When you plug the iPod into the mac, iTunes will ask to sync, or to transfer 
the stuff from the iPod to the library.  I'm sure someone here can give you a 
better step by step explanation if needed.  But, it really shouldn't be a 
problem at all.  The other option is to simply perform iPhone backup with the 
new Mac.

Hi Kev,

For mail, the easiest way to move to the top or bottom of the list in the 
messages table is to press the Option key and hold down either the up or down 
arrow key and just wait a little bit.  This answer is not VoiceOver specific 
and came as a response to Donna from the accessibility team.

Re: Moving to the top or bottom of a list

2010-11-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
First, interact with the list by pressing VO-down-arrow. Then use VO-shift-home 
to go the top of the list. Also, you can use VO-shift-end to go to the bottom 
of the list.

Teresa

Latency When Performing the Time Apple Script

2010-11-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi all,

I have an odd problem. When I press option-t with scripting enabled in VO 
utility, I get about a ten-second latency. I'm not sure if it has anything to 
do with my Vinux operating system via VMware Fusion running in the background, 
but that has been the last major change in my computer usage since then.

TIA
Teresa

Re: Apple TV question

2010-11-24 Thread Chris G
Reading the tech specs on the apple.com site it has optical audio out. 
Would just need to get an optical audio out cable.  I know my home
theater has the input for that.  Should sound even better.

Re: Moving to the top or bottom of a list

Kev,

Press the option key and press and hold the up or down arrow, this will take 
you to the start or end of a list after a couple of seconds.

Have a lovely Thanks Giving buddy, and just so you know I woke up to 5 inches 
of snow this morning!  My dog is going nuts, he is acting like a 4 year old 
child!
