Audio editing on the mac.
My brother is in the process of moving over to mac and has asked me about a specific feature which as far as I know can't be done on Amadeus but I'd like to make sure before I give him the final answer. As he does lots of work producing voice overs, adds and interactive phone systems and the like, he was asking if you can use Scrubbing in Amadeus. Is it possible or even likely it would be added in the future? This seems to be a sticking point for him in some ways as it is a very effective way of editing quickly by ear. Thanks for any info.

Re: Sound editing (was New list member welcome message.)
I can easily set the saffire up for input and output and choose number of channels. What I can't do is work out how I can select which input on the Saffire for specific tracks. My guitar & bass go in via input 1. My mike goes in on 2. My controller keyboard goes in via USB. How can I say I want bass on track 1, guitar input and mike on track 2 & 3, controller keyboard on 4 etc? Hope this makes sense..

Re: Audio editing on the mac.
If by scrubbing you mean using the arrow keys to move right and left inside a piece of audio and hear where you are every second, the answer is yes, you can. Are you yet familuar with how Amadeus Pro works? You need to get used to one concept that really through me at first-and framkly-was almost a turn off until I worked out how to make good use of it. It's the fact that, unlike Sound Forge, there are in fact two cursers in amadeus Pro. You have the playback head and the insertion point. They don't follow each other, so, if you stop the playback head with the space bar, you need then to press command+y to manually rout the insertion point to the playback position. At first, this seems a waste of time and counter intuative, but, keep at it, and you'll soon figure out that there are sometimes advantages to having it this way. AS to setting and dropping markers, easily done. As to voice over work, There's a very nice and really fast easy way to do this using Amadeus Pro. I've come to really love it as a basic audio editor and hoast for some really fine plugins from RX. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user!

Re: A somewhat geeky question about partitioning the internal hard drive
Is it only me who's utterly stupid, but to me this doesn't make sence at all. Ok, so i erase the hard drive, and the recovery partition will be erased as well, that's logical, but assuming i want to erase and format the mac from the recovery partition, how do i then go about to install the os, or is it a question that the app asks when formating and erasing?Or do i have to repoot from a bootable drive somewhere and install from there? I am totally and utterly confused. /Krister 12 jan 2013 kl. 02:30 skrev Daniel C : > It does make sense yes.

Re: Audio editing on the mac.
That's a thing i have missed with all editing apps on the Mac, the possibility to scrub and thereby precition editing on the Mac. There is a somewhat similar feature on Sound studio that sorta works and works quite well i'd say, but alas nothing of the kind in Amadeus as far as i know. /Krister 12 jan 2013 kl. 10:13 skrev Danny Noonan : > My brother is in the process of moving over to mac and has asked me about a > specific feature which as far as I know can't be done on Amadeus but I'd like > to make sure before I give him the final answer.

Re: A somewhat geeky question about partitioning the internal hard drive
Hello, To clarify both questions for you. 1. The only way you can format from recovery is if you don't use the option that states, for my Mac anyway, might be the same for any MacBookPro these days: If when you're in the disk utilities, as long as you don't format the entry where it says: TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF Media. If you do, that's the entire drive. Most Macs, if installed from the factory, may have something like Macintosh HD as the default hard drive name. Where it says Macintosh HD, that is a partition, and is your home partition, which is the only one you should be deleting, rather than the TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF Media entry. 2. You can get LionDiskmaker from this address http://danielcproductions.net/files/LionDiskMaker2.0.1.zip Hope I've answered your questions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: acapella voices.
Actually this isn't correct. It's 4 credits for two computers and I don't think there's any way to just use 2 credits and buy for one computer. In addition to this, some voices are 6 credits for two computers and I think some or all of the Swedish and Norwegian voices are 14 credits for 2 computers. You can install them as demos if you want. Then you go into the store and buy credits when you are ready to buy. Then you go into the voice manager in your Applications folder and activate. Or you can buy first and then install and install if you are already sure what you want. Installing and activating an having your credits left kept track of all goes through the infovox ivox voice manager. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: New list member welcome message.
Hi Danny and welcome to the list, I've only been at the Mac coming from the windows world for a few months now, and I too am a musician of sorts. Actually, I'm finding GarageBand to be quite usable for both audio and to some extent, MIDI as well. I find I can do some fairly precise audio editting with GB - down to the 60 tick level. I'm interested in this "ampkit" you mentioned - what is it exactly? - Original Message - From: "Danny Noonan" To: Sent: Friday, January 11, 2013 9:38 PM Subject: New list member welcome message. I started receiving list messages today so I guess I'm approved so thought I would say hi to the list. I played with OS10 for a bit for a while but decided the only way to learn it properly was to get rid of windows all together and jump right in. The fact that my MBP kept corrupting windows boot camp partitions in all honesty did help my decisionn. Regardless of how I got here, I've been using OS10, Lion and now Mountain lion for about a year or so and yes, I got literal headaches at first trying to unlearn the years upon years of first dos and then windows muscle memory but now I'm getting to where I have to work hard to recall Windows commands and not the other way round. Add to this the wonderful vo to caps lock ability I recently took advantage of and the Mac is becoming my favourite platform. Who am I kidding, it has been for quite a while. I don't miss Driver issues, selling my sole to afford JFW and wondering why I get a different adaptive experience on each different machine I use. I look forward to learning from you all and helping out as much as possible. The more I learn, the more questions it creates. As I find answers, I like to share them with others. Many people gave of there time and knowledge to help me learn and returning the favour is a good way to help return the favours. I'm a musician by trade so I'm putting a lot of effort into the musical side of things. AmpKit is my latest love and I'm amazed at how wonderfully accessible it is with VoiceOver. I'm also getting into learning and using Amadeus Pro as I finally couldn't handle attempting to make Garage Band in to anything more than a buggy unstable toy. Any suggestions on music creation apps, recording solutions or learning resources are always greatly appreciated. Anyway, thanks for the list and look forward to getting to know you all.

Re: A somewhat geeky question about partitioning the internal hard drive
I think there is a big distinction to be drawn between "erasing the disk" and "erasing the OS partition". If you look in disk utility in the "selected disks table", you'll see something very cryptic looking at the top of the table, and that's the actual physical disk drive unit. On my machine it is listed as "500.12 GB ST3400418AS Media". VO will say "500.12 GB ST3400418AS Media, contains two items", and that makes sense because I have two partitions on the physical internal disk drive. under that you'll find "macintosh HD". That is the partition on the disk that contains the Os. and In my case there is a second entry for my bootcamp partition. Then, there are additional entries in the table for any external hard drives with their partitions and a CD drive if you have one. I think, and notice I didn't say "I know", I think that erasing the physical disk will erase everything on it including all partitions, but erasing a partition confines the erasure to that section of disk. When I reinstalled Mountain Lion a few days ago, I erased the partition "MacintoshHD", and then reinstalled ML into that partition. I believe that the recovery partition on the physical drive is just that, a partition, and as such is seperate from the MacintoshHD partition. I say this because it is listed as a boot option in the boot select screen along with options for MacHD, and Bootcamp, and my external boot image. For that reason I think its a seperate partition. Therefore, erasing the MacHD partition does not affect the recovery partition, and so, working from within the recovery partition, you are free to erase MacHD and then reinstall ML. You do this by selecting "disk utility" from the recovery screen menu, erase your OS partition, Close disk utility and from the menu, select Install Mac OS X. You'll be prompted for which partition you want to install ML, and of course, you need to make sure and select the partition you just erased. Having said this, I was not so brave as to act on my belief, and instead created a USB thumbdrive with the Mountain Lion installer and the OS utilities on it. I booted into that USB device and did all my erasing and reinstalling from that device. As with anything else you hear on the internet, I strongly urge you to take my words with a grain of salt, investigate for yourself and come to your own conclusions before acting. If you want instructions for creating a USB thumbdrive installer, Daniel Chavez did a podcast on the entire subject of doing a clean install of Mountain Lion from a USB thumbdrive.

Ok, so i erase the hard drive, and the recovery partition will be erased as well, that's logical, but assuming i want to erase and format the mac from the recovery partition, how do i then go about to install the os, or is it a question that the app asks when formating and erasing?Or do i have to repoot from a bootable drive somewhere and install from there? I am totally and utterly confused. /Krister 12 jan 2013 kl. 02:30 skrev Daniel C : It does make sense yes.

Re: Sound editing (was New list member welcome message.)
I'm not sure about that, since the mac itself does not have all those channels. My understanding is that your mixer is taking them all and giving just one actual output channel, meaning the mac will only get one audio source. You could record each one separately, then name the tracks (go to the track, vo-shift-m, rename) to identify which is which. I don't have much experience doing multi-track recording like that (I don't even have a mixer).

Hi, What i mean is as you point out, going back and forth in a file and hear as i go where i am, much like an old tape recorder with cue and review functions.

Re: Audio editing on the mac.
Well, if that's the way it was for me, yes, it would indeed be quite tiedous and cumbersum. What I am telling you, however, is that, on my Mac, all I need to do is press the left and right arrow keys-bear in mind that quick nav must be off for this to work-and the file scrubs so I know instantly where I am every second. Now, I get to a point where I want to drop something in or take something out. Well, I just press space to stop the playback head, then, rout the insertion point to that spot and do what ever it is I intend. It's always been that way for me. Seems to me there's something different between your setup and mine then-for you see-scrubbing in the way I have described has always worked for me. I do seem to recall you've always had that issue though. Perhaps if you have quick nav on, you might wish to turn it off. IF that's not the case, you might need to get rid of your Amadeus Pro system prefs file and start over. Perhaps we need to go over my settings on Skype sometime so that we can compare yours and mine to see if we can figure out why you cannot scrub and I can. Very odd indeed.

Rich Text Editors
Hello, guys, I use an interface with my university called eCollege. Last quarter their text edit area for making posts was accessible enough. This quarter, however, it doesn't work at all. VoiceOver calls it a "Rich text editor with RadeEntryText," and I'm not sure what that means. Searching online reveals that people over at Applevis have experienced some similar issues, apparently, accessing those posting features for that site when the rich text editor was used. the eCollege folks tell me that there is no way to simplify the interface and that the visual editor has to be used. What really sucks is that it works with JAWS on the Windows side of things, no problem. Over all, VoiceOver works much more smoothly with eCollege because it has several frames and I love the way Voiceover lets me choose whether or not I want to read the content of a frame by interacting with it, instead of me having to go into a special frames mode. All in all, I wondered if anyone had come up with a solution to this issue? According to the tech support folks, it isn't even possible for the instructor of the course to change the interface, and since it is perfectly accessible with JAWS, they're less likely to see it as an issue that needs immediate reworking. I am able to paste into the edit area, but I cannot read back any of what I have typed, except for back spacing. If I have a numbered list of items with explanations, the editor thinks I want to start numbering each line, and the only way I fixed it was to go into the Windows side, use JAWS, and edit it out. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks, Harry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: braille custom commands
Chris, I don't think there is a way to set Command Tab as a custom braille command since it is a Mac-specific command as opposed to a VoiceOver command. as for setting up a custom braille command, after you hit the Add Button, find the key you wish to assign and fit Command-B on your keyboard. You'll have 5 seconds to hit the keystroke you desire. If you are modifying an existing key, you will have the opportunity to overwrite the key. Hope that helps.

Re: New list member welcome message.
Some people can make garage band behave. On my system, most commands would work perhaps 25% of the time and even when they did, it was necessary to save the project almost 100% of the time before a new function would work. Combine this with virtually no undo and definitely no non-destructive undo and it was useless. If it worked the way it should have and was anything like stable, it would be a totally different prospect. AmpKit is a guitar & Bass moddeler. You plug your axe in and choose heads, cabs, combos, stomp boxes and individual peddles and some mike placement and put all your fx in what ever order in the chain you like and create your perfect tone or use the tuns of built in presets it comes with. You can play to a backing track, over a metronome with a pile of tones or a standard click and record in the app. You get both a dry and a wet mix which you can then do what you want in your DAW of choice. I've herd rumours there thinking of adding multi-track functionality in the future but this I can not state with any factual knowledge.

Re: Sound editing (was New list member welcome message.)
Garage band could see all the inputs and was able to name them so some software can. The Saffire has its own mixer software that in theory allows the mac to see everything. Thanks. I'll keep playing and if I find a way to make it work, I'll let the list know. Until then, I can't record through my interface so it's pretty much useless to me.

I understand that most of the basic functions can be done with Sound Forge on the Mac. We're talking cutting, pasting, setting markers and so forth. There remain-as I indicated before-some issues. For example, when ever you go in to the record dialog, Voice Over tends to say "busy busy busy" a lot. Also, working with regions seems not to be possible. Also, recalling presets seems not to be possible either. These are very nearly deal breakers for me: however, I ain't decided yet. Frankly, I know that there are some blind Mac users who have sort of played with the demo version. Kevin Reves, if you happen to be reading this, feel free to jump in here as I would like to know whether or not any of these matters have been addressed by Sony. AS for Amadeus Pro, I do use it a lot. My big thing is remastering-taking the scratches and noise out of vinyl disks, hiss removal from analog cassette tapes and so on. For this, I use a combination of Amadeus Pro with RX version 2.10 plugins. RX is not totally accessible: yet, it's accessible enough to let me do what I most need to do. I wish I could spring for RX pro: but, if I am going to move up to Sound Forge-which I understand makes use of the same digital processing algorithms as RX-well, RX pro will jus have to wait.

Re: acapella voices.
Well, there is "deactivate" in the action menu in the voice manager for voices I presently have activated. So I hadn't really thought of it but this might be possible.

Re: Audio editing on the mac.
Ok, 2 points. 1, you can play a file and then move forward and backward by 1 second with right and left arrow. This technically isn't scrubbing as far as I understand the concept. Think of a mode where if you press an arrow the insertion point will move an amount described by the amount of zoom but also you will here the auto play at a faster or slower rate depending on how much zoom and or how far you arrow the audio of the file. You can here the audio as you arrow over it but when you take your finger off the arrow, the insert point stops moving and sound stops. IE, tape moves over the heads when you turn the real but as you stop, nothing is passing over the heads so the audio stops. . This way, you can tap an arrow to get just past a drum beat, the hard consonant of a word or breath after the word etc. It's a very effective and quick way to do by ear editing with out having to listen to the selection over and over as you fine tune start and end points of a selection. Hope this makes sense and if Amadeus can't do this, I truly hope they implement it in the future as it's such a powerful editing tool, esp for the blind IMO.

Re: Audio editing on the mac.
Ah, well, in that case, Amadeus Pro cannot do this: at least, I don't believe it can.

Trouble hooking up a Brailliant 40 to my Mac.
Hi good people. I have a problem with a braille display that i've got. It's a Brailiant 40, the one that looks a lot like the super vario. This braille display is said to work with a Mac via bluetooth, however when i try pairing it, and after successfull pairing, it just sits there and beeps and after a little while the following dialog, roughly translated from swedish to english appears: "Voiceover cannot load drivers for Brailiant 40 (serial number) if the braille display has to be in terminal mode to be used, please make sure it is." or something to that effect. I have the protocoll set to Baum, something it has to have. The display is fully charged, I have the display set to bluetooth and nothing works. What am i doing wrong or is it something with the display after all? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Installing Skype
Once you have done this, if ou see something on your Desktop called "Skype, volume," you can press VO-shift-M on it, and go down to "Eject" and press return. This will then allow you to delete the .dmg file while keeping the Skype.app file in your Applications folder. This is the same process for installing other applications with .dmg files. Hope htis is helpful.

Re: Skype commands
Good afternoon, When you are signed into Skype, press VO-J to jump to the first table, which contains "Skype Home," "Contacts," etc. Simply arrow to "Contacts," for example, then you can press VO-J and it will jump you to your contacts table where you can gain simply arrow up and down through your list of contacts. I would suggest changing the view to list, under the "View" menu. To end a call, press CMD-shift-H. It is also helpful to turn curser tracking off once you are in the chat window area, so you can type a reply to someone while keeping your place in the window. This is particularly useful if you are reading a long message from someone and wish to make reference to specific points and need to refer back to that person's message from time-to-time. Just don't forget to turn your curser tracking back on when you're finished; otherwise, you'll find some odd VoiceOver behavior. To turn curser tracking on and off, press VO-shift-F3. it is a toggle. As far as shortcut key commands, many of these will be found in the menus themselves. Press VO-M, right arrow through the menu options, and down arrow to open and explore a particular menu item. I am not the most familiar with assigning custom shortcuts to commands that do not have a default command, but this is possible.

Re: Trouble hooking up a Brailliant 40 to my Mac.
Hi Christer. I have the 32 cells brailliant. It is a great display, and I love it, but is can be a little strange with its hooking up.

Re: java and talking communities
Hi all! Well for those of you who might want to use a talking community's room there is a solution! This involves replacing the java in mountain lion with a older version using some terminal commands [these commands come from Apple support ] I have never used Terminal before but used these commands OK! So from the link I will post below you will be taken to the page that tells you what to do and there is commands to undo those commands if you wish to go back! One thing I did was to copy the commands [one at a time] with the copy last phrase to clipboard command!VO+shift+c then pasted them into the field! On the first one Terminal asked for my user pass word then for the other 3 I just had to press return! After following all the steps I could use the talking communities rooms again! Here is the link to the Apple support page! http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559 Also I cannot remember on which list someone posted that when they got into the room they wanted the talk button was still dimmed! There is one more step to do with VO that is not mentioned on TC's help page! When you have got to the room and you find those buttons dimmed use the window chooser VO+f2 twice and then arrow down to the log in window and select it! Then find the log in link/button and VO+space on it and when your back in the room the buttons will be undimmed! Hth Colin PS of course you do this at your own risk!

I played with OS10 for a bit for a while but decided the only way to learn it properly was to get rid of windows all together and jump right in. The fact that my MBP kept corrupting windows boot camp partitions in all honesty did help my decisionn. Regardless of how I got here, I've been using OS10, Lion and now Mountain lion for about a year or so and yes, I got literal headaches at first trying to unlearn the years upon years of first dos and then windows muscle memory but now I'm getting to where I have to work hard to recall Windows commands and not the other way round. Add to this the wonderful vo to caps lock ability I recently took advantage of and the Mac is becoming my favourite platform. Who am I kidding, it has been for quite a while. I don't miss Driver issues, selling my sole to afford JFW and wondering why I get a different adaptive experience on each different machine I use. I look forward to learning from you all and helping out as much as possible. The more I learn, the more questions it creates. As I find answers, I like to share them with others. Many people gave of there time and knowledge to help me learn and returning the favour is a good way to help return the favours. I'm a musician by trade so I'm putting a lot of effort into the musical side of things. AmpKit is my latest love and I'm amazed at how wonderfully accessible it is with VoiceOver. I'm also getting into learning and using Amadeus Pro as I finally couldn't handle attempting to make Garage Band in to anything more than a buggy unstable toy. Any suggestions on music creation apps, recording solutions or learning resources are always greatly appreciated. Anyway, thanks for the list and look forward to getting to know you all.

Re: how we became apple users
I couldn't ever really figure Bex out, but a classmate of mine always prefered it to ProWords. I tried using Bex 1 time I think it was, and went right back to ProWords, sense for some reason, I kept having to do an insert command, when I was just typing a simple document, and my vision teacher kept having to redo something over and over and was like "you lost your insert," so that was the last time I ever attempted to use it, sense I decided it was more trouble in my oppinion than it was worth and found ProWords a lot easier.

Hi, all, this method seems to have worked but the sound quality is terrible, very delayed.

Re: inviting somebody to join the list
I have the very same issue. A friend wanats to join, but, haven't heard back from the mod. To put it bluntly, how can we expect any new members with this kind of crazy scheme?

Re: inviting somebody to join the list
Personally, I agree. I've got a friend who just got a Mac and wants to join. How's he supposed to do that if he can't join? He's been trying for at least a fort night. I was going to pass his e-mail on to the mod but I ain't heard back despite a public request to be contacted so I could fasilitate this. Back in the day when I joined, it was-as I believe-a much better list and frankly, more open to helping Mac newbees also. I got a lot of help from this list bakc in the day: and, I still believe it to be a sound and very good list. Jus wish it wasn't such a pain for Mac newbees to join.

Re: java and talking communities
I did it and it worked but not well, the sound quality now is terrible though that may be due tot he bit rate being too high. If the tc app would allow me to enter my user name and password into it, all this would be rectified. however, the issue is that it remembers another room I was in, which was a single room and try as I might, the crazy machine will not forget that go in information.

Re: scanning applications
Hello Chris, ABBYY FineReader Express is very good and can handle up to three languages in one text. I've been using it for a couple of years and am very satisfied with it. My objection to DocuScan is that it only handles English which is no problem for many people, but for those of us who live in a non-English-speaking country, it's not an option.

Re: scanning applications
Hi. Thank you for the tip. Was there an easy way to scan multiple documents at once? I tried a demo of it and it wouldn't let me scan multiple pages. Also, it didn't seam to work with my canon scanner very well.

Re: scanning applications
Hello Chris, It works fine with my Canon Lide 110 and I can scan multiple pages although it isn't as easy as with VueScan. You have to click Resume then use the window chooser to get back to the scanner window. However, it does work. When scanning a book, I usually scan a chapter at a time so I haven't tried to scan more than about 20 pages into one document, so I don't know the limit, but so far I've had no trouble.
