Re: Help with Fission.
Does ringer or amadeus give you more soundforge like usability? I have amadeus pro, but seemed to be having the same problem. What is ringer by the way? Another audio editor?

Re: Help with Fission.
Figured out Amadeus. 2 minutes of looking at that program yielded the results I needed. If I set spacebar to rewind, then use left and right brackets in conjunction with shift, it looks like I can make my selections. Awesome. Looks like I can use this just like I did with soundforge on windwos. Fantastic. Reeves -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Mac mini I would be interested in selling 2008 model very little use
Oh man. Tiger? No wonder it wasn't up to your standards. I encourage you to get a copy of Snow leopard and give that a shot. Comparatively, Tiger is slow and clunky. Apple really figured web accessibility out in Snow leopard with the introduction of the web rotor. Not trying to discourage you, but just wanted to invite you to give it another shot with newer software that would benefit you greatly. Or, if it doesn't work, just run bootcamp and slap windows on it. Just some thoughts.

Some stuff I did with pro tools.
Hey folks. Just wanted to throw out a quick link to a file containing 2 jingles I just completed with Pro Tools 8, now accessible with Voiceover. I invite you to take a listen. All the sequencing, tracking, editing, mixing, and mastering was done in Pro Tools. A great deal of the sounds used were instruments that shipped with Pro Tools, except for the guitars and drums found in the MyMac Theme.

getting mail to stop saying "Thread."
Hey folks. In mail, I have all my messages grouped by thread. On one of these machines, I was able to get vo to stop saying "Thread" every time it encounter one in mail. I somehow got it to just say "Collapsed" and "Expanded." However, I can't remember how I did it so I can duplicate that on the laptop. I already know it's a thread if it says collapsed. Just that word alone slows me down when scanning through huge lists of messages. If anyone remembers how to do this, I'd really appreciate it.

Re: selecting a part of a track in amadeus pro
Also, in the preferences, make sure that spacebar rewinds play head is checked. Reason being is that when you hit stop, the play head will always go back to where the insertion point is. By default, the spacebar acts as pause, which is extremely annoying when trying to pinpoint a spot to begin your edit. Note however that when using the arrow keys while playing only moves the playhead and not the insertion point. So if you are playing and using the arrow keys to audibly scrub through a track and you hit stop, the playhead will jump back to the beginning of the file. The most practical way to do this is to use the right and left arrows while the file is stopped, hit play every so often to audition your spot, and make your selection when you've found it. This is more like how Soundforge and goldwave worked on the windows platform. I hope this is of assistance to you. I'm sure I'm missing some stuff, as I am very new at using the program, so I encourage anyone to chime in and add to this. Hope that helps.

Re: Editing loops in garageband 11?
Here's a quick question. Is it now possible to edit your tempo marking in the song? You use to not have that ability with voiceover. Also, is it possible to import a file onto a track such as a stereo mix of a song? I want to be able to import a file into gb, sequence some drums over it using the jampack drums, and export out that single track as an audio file to import back into Pro Tools. I couldn't find a way to do this in iLive 09, so was wondering if any of you cats who now have 11 know if this is now possible? My iLife comes tomorrow, and am really excited to see how this can really impact my recording work.

Sounds great. how much did you feel you were able to accomplish without sighted assistance? Did you get the producer trying to butt in and do things for you that he didn't feel you could do successfully, or did they just leave you alone?

Victor Stream with Windows 7 under vmware.
Hey folks. A friend of mine has an MBP 13-inch with Snowleopard, VM Ware, and Windows 7. She needs to plug her stream in via windows in order to be able to move audible books to it using the audible manager. When I plug the stream into the computer, I get the dialog asking me if I want to connect to mac or windows. I choose windows, but nothing happens: no alert sound, no nothing. I've tried this with 2 separate streams on 2 separate machines running the same setup. Even when the stream is plugged in and I try to go to the connect USB submenu, the stream does not appear. Several questions come to mind. 1. Is this a windows 7 or vmware problem, or both? I know that windows 7 users can access the stream no problem, but I wonder if the vm ware layer is adding extra problems. 2. If the stream is a complete no go, is there a way to load the audible books and authorization on the memory card? This individual is very irritated about the fact that this won't work. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciated. You guys rock. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Victor Stream with Windows 7 under vmware.
Thanks so much for this. However, How would she get the stream authorized to run audible books if we can't get it working? Should we authorize it on another windows machine, then we could just move all the downloaded audible files to the card manually through the finder? WOuld that work? Thanks again.

Re: broadcast software for the mac

RE: Understanding Blind User's Needs
Self voicing defeats the purpose of Voice-over and causes undo work on the part of the developer. What Ryan was saying about Boxy makes sense, but to self-voice an app that can already be used by voiceover seems almost overboard. Also, if you selfvoice an app, how do you account for dynamic text that changes all the time in a window? Voiceover would need to be active to view any dynamically changing text or text that you input when interacting with said application such as skype chats or viewing screen names in a list or something that is completely unpredictable from session to session.Just my thoughts. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

You could also use the sendspace wizard to download fles. Create a premium account, and you shouldn't have to have a max payment plan running to use the wizard. Maybe I'm wrong.

RE: Pricing on Snow Leopard
So how are they doing this? Is this gonna be an update pushed to the leopard machines after a purchase is made, or do you go to an apple store and show proof of purchase and get a retail copy. If you get a disk, will it be a full install, or just an upgrade disk, whereby you need leopard first, much like the windows disks.

iTunes becomes unresponsive.
Hey folks. I just got my dad's iTunes library all straightened out. Looks like he's got 480 albums in his library. We've put all the music on an external USB Passport drive and have pointed iTunes to that folder. Everything looks great. However, here's the frustration. I click an album in grid mode, bringing up the song list. I play the first song. Then, as I shift tab to another field or vo out of the table, iTunes completely hoses and I have to force quit it. What might be wrong here? Am I asking iTunes to do too much with this external drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have spent many hours painstakingly reconstructing this library for his new machine. Thanks so much.

RE: Deleting files from Ipod but not from the ITunes library
If you take a song off a playlist that you have selected to sync, will it delete it from the ipod? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 4:39 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Deleting files from Ipod but not from the ITunes library On Jun 24, 2009, at 09:18, Simon Cavendish wrote: Hi Simon and Victor, If you manage the contents of your iPod or iPhone automatically or semi-automatically by syncing with playlists, then the way to have tracks that are in your iTunes Library not appear on your iPod is to uncheck the selection entries in the Songs table for a library or playlist by using the contextual menu, or to simply not have the track be selected in any playlist that you have checked for the iPod to sync to. There are three ways to manage content (that is not a podcast) on an iPod: 1. Automatic sync -- everything in your iTunes library gets synced to your iPod. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, obviously not everything will fit, but you don't get to determine what goes on the iPod and what doesn't. If selections are unchecked (because you used the context menu VO-Shift-M in the songs table to choose "Uncheck selection") they will not be transferred, nor will they be burned to disc, archived with the "Back up to disc" option of the "Library" submenu of the File menu, etc. 2. Semi-automatic sync -- sync only items that appear in the playlists you've checked for syncing. Again, unchecked selections in these playlists will not be transferred. 3. Manual mode -- drag and drop tracks or playlists onto your iPod to manage content; with iTunes 8 you can replace drag and drop with copy (Command-C) and past (Command-V). With either automatic or semi-automatic sync mode, you can only delete items on your iPod by controlling the contents of your library or synced playlists or by unchecking boxes for items in your library or synced playlists. If you expand your iPod device with VO-backslash (users without English input keyboards can use VO-H twice to bring up the Command menu and choose "Toggle disclosure triangle" after interacting with their iPod device in the sources table) you can arrow down to view your music, movies, tv shows, audiobooks, etc. on your iPod, but these libraries will be grayed out if you sync your iPod. If you manually manage your iPod you can delete entries in these libraries just as you can from the corresponding iTunes libraries on your computer. This makes sense, because if you're syncing content your control is through the sync, and you don't separately delete items. If you copy and paste a track onto your iPod and you have it set to sync checked playlists, it will be changed to manual sync mode, and you will be able to delete tracks directly from the iPod. The box for "Manually manage music and videos" will get checked on your device summary page. I've only tried moving a few audiobooks over with copy and paste to switch to "Manually manage . . ." mode. (Select the tracks in the songs table for your iTunes Audiobooks library, copy with Command-C, tab or use your VO-arrow keys to move to the sources table, go to your iPod and interact, then paste with Command-V. In general checking and unchecking selections is not as good a way to manage synced content as using a smart playlist, because it's easy to lose track of which items you have checked or unchecked. A good case for checking and unchecking selections might be when you've set up a playlist of party music, but have "seasonal items" like Christmas music or special songs for someone's birthday. Then you would uncheck entries that aren't always in use, but which you don't want to remove from the playlist.

I'd consult the help, but I'm so new tFusiono this whole virtual machine deal that I'm not even sure where to start. I was curious if someone could give me some quick start instructions to get me up and running. My main question is will I be able to run my main account that I usually natively run so that Jaws will run? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crossposted. My first look at the iPhone 3gs. Thoughts and obsurvations.
I just got back from the Green Hills Apple Store in Nashville Tn. My intention was to go and look at the iPhone, and probably walk out with one if I liked what I saw. However, due to the lengthy process of making a purchase, the apple store stopped selling iPhones about an hour and a half before they closed. I showed up 5 minutes after this cutoff time, but was encouraged to look at the display model as long as I liked until close. Upon enquiring about having a sales person turn on Voiceover, they called on another rep who had more experience with Vo. Turns out, he has some form of visual impairment, which causes him to have to use the zoom feature. He knew right where vo was, and turned it on for me. Now, the journey begins. My immediate observation was that of many other people. Vo is too quiet, even with the volume cranked. In a store with a great deal of background noise, I found vo somewhat hard to hear. Should have followed my gut instinct and brought a headset along with me. My first 10 minutes with the phone was met with some uncertainty. I was successfully able to explore the phone and open several apps. However, I found the sensitivity of the touch screen a bit strange. While dragging my finger along the icons, some would open at random. At first, I found myself quite lost inside of the apps I was opening. However, I soon found a consistent pattern to how these apps are laid out. Once I realized this, I was better able to navigate around several apps. I was soon successfully able to dial my own phone number, making my cell phone ring in my pocket. Then, using my cell phone, I was able to call the display model, answering and ending said call. In the iPod app, I was able to choose a playlist and start it playing. I was able to then pause, advance to next track, etc. I even found myself able to locate the transport button I wanted without thinking. I guess that's where muscle memory really starts to come into play. I was not, however, able to bend my head around how to drag a slider, such as the icon that allows you to advance through a song. I think there was a tutor message, which would have given me those instructions, but I accidentally interrupted it, and was unable to get it to tell me again. My cursory glance of mail yielded few results. I saw the messages, was able to open one and sort of read it. However, I was not fully able to bend my head around it's layout. I couldn't find the compose button, and I didn't understand the relationships between the message and the mailboxes. I would assume that the mailbox list would be on the left, and the messages on the right. I thought that's how it would look, but I'm not sure. Safari was a bit interesting as well. I didn't spend but a few minutes looking at it, and was a tad confused because I saw part of a web page, along with bookmarks. I wanted to try and enter in a website to not only look at something familiar, and have an excuse to type. I was not able to find the button to enter a website, however, I did find the Google button and began entering in info into the search box. I tried to type some search terms, but kept making tons of errors. However, I could understand the concept of typing, and could easily see that more time taken to practicing would yield much better results. Final thoughts. In short, I get it. Voiceover is implemented in such a way that there are few concepts to understand. Once these concepts are understood and applied to all apps, your only learning curve is figuring out where things are on the screen in any given app, and just the general operation of the phone itself, which is mostly built on logic. I feel like a week of working with the phone would get me pretty much up to speed. It wouldn't be that much of a learning curve to stunt my productivity. My only concern is the fact that I can definitely dial faster on my nokia n82, and easily locate a contact, using quick letter navigation. I know that the dial pad will take some time on the iPhone. It's just one of those things that's going through my mind as I'm making this decision. The store opens at 10 AM tomorrow. I could easily go in and get one. Am I ready? Not sure. Should I wait till september for the possibility of an iPod touch? Again. Not sure. However, I don't really like the idea of having 2 devices on my person, when an iPhone would do the trick for everything. Hm. What a quandary. I'll keep you all posted.

Re: Crossposted. My first look at the iPhone 3gs. Thoughts and obsurvations.
Hey folks. I did indeed get the iPhone. I went the next day before work and picked it up. I'm now about 2 and a half days into the experience. I'll write a lengthy sumation of my experience so far if you guys are interested to read it. Thanks so much for all the help and encouragement so far. More later.

Re: An IPhone question
Here's what I've found after a few days with the phone. When reading large chunks of text, vo actually sees the text in seveal chunks. Whenever you hear the phone click in the middle of a read, the curser has jumped to a new chunk of text. Not sure if this is broken up in paragaphs, or if this is dependant on how much text is on the screen before it has to scroll. However, these chunks of text seem to be visible by vo when you slide your finger up and down the screen. So, If you have to stop reading a large passage of text, you can come back later, tap in different spots where the text is, and vo will read that bit. Once you find the bit of text where you left off, do a 2 finger flick downward, and the text will start reading from that point, much like an insert down arrow command in Jaws. Hope this sheds some light on this, and maybe someone can chime in and add to these statements or correct any misnomers. This is just a technique I've found in the past 2 days of messing about. Hope that helps. Reeves --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: music on my iphone
Here's a couple ways to do this. You can set a preference in iTunes to not copy files when songs are added. Then, you could either disconnect the drive from the network, hook it up to your mac, and add the songs to the library. Or, you could add across the network. I do believe that iTunes supports networked music drives. once the songs were added, you could then transfer them to the phone. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Ripping DVD Content
And on this same front, have you guys dealt with handbreak ripping dvd's to where chapters are skipped and switched around and such?

Can voiceover speak Kurgish or Russian?
Hey folks. An instructor in training here at the Louisiana Center for the Blind is from Kurgistan. She was curious if there were voices available for either Kurgish or Russian. I'm sure it's not available by default in the OS itself, but I know that their are folks who have purchased voices in several different languages. Any help would be very much appreciated in helping her figure this out. Thanks so much.

An informal Podcast regarding Pro Tools
Hey folks. While cleaning my apartment at 4 in the morning, I turned on the iPod and did about an hour or so worth of stream of consciousness chatting regarding Pro Tools. I go through it's back story on how we got where we are now, and tried to answer the 2 main questions that everyone's posing right now. 1. How accessible is it, ie, what can I do with it. 2. How much better or worse is it than Sonar. I think that a tutorial is important, but like everyone else, the time it takes is really daunting. So, for now, I'm gonna throw up some really informal things just to get some dialog started. Maybe I'll even do some quick recording of me working on a session so that folks can get an idea of how Pro Tools operates in a real world situation. This might be better than trying to plan out a huge tutorial. At least this would give potential switchers a chance to hear it in action, allow me to discuss what I'm doing while I'm doing it, and be able to see what I'm able to accomplish. But for now, enjoy this discussion. It will be appearing on Blind Cool Tech soon. I've uploaded it to their servers. http://kevinreeves.net/InformalProToolsTalk.mp3. Thanks so much, and I hope this sort of sheds some light for folks who have not yet made the decision to get a rig.

Re: credit card reader apps for the iPhone?
Go to www.squareup.com and sign up. It's a company called Square who allows you to take credit card payments via your i Device. They offer a free credit card reader that plugs into the phone's headphone jack. There are some known voiceover issues with the app itself, which is free as well, but I believe a way around this is to use a bluetooth keyboard. The deal is, when you swipe over buttons and numbers, they activate. The keyboard should prevent this. I will test it, as I now have a square reader and the app. I'll keep you updated.

Re: credit card reader apps for the iPhone?
I think the answer to the sound routhing issue is to run the reader thorough a splitter and an ear piece to the other side. However, the splitter has to be a designated iPod splitter, as it contains the extra sleeve for data transfer on the 3.5 jack. I'm definitely going to check all of this out soon.

While I can make any edits and changes right from safari, I prefer using a program called Mars Edit, which has tons of robust formatting features and can allow you to publish a page or post in seconds flat. It's really amazing. But as far as the admin panel, dashboard, etc, I have no problems here. Just make sure that your profile is set to the classic editor or whatever it's called. This will make the title and body edit boxes much more accessible in my opinion. Hope this helps.

Re: For those who can actually afford this, DocuScan Plus is now on the mac app store.
Hey folks. SO glad to see this is finally available on the mac. One question comes to mind as I am not as familiar with this product. Does this only work with cameras like the hover cam, or can I use it with a cheap Canoscan 25? Thanks so much.

Re: Recording Podcasts
Hello. Recording and publishing a podcast, while easy to do, takes some explaining. Head over to www.schoolofpodcasting.com. There, you should find tons of guides and explanations on how to record and publish. Hope this helps.

Re: Docuscan scanning quality
Wow. It will use your internal camera? You're serious? That's awesome. Now I have a reason to consider picking it up. Thanks for the tip.

A jingle I recorded for a client. All done on a Mac in Pro Tools 9.
Hey folks. Just got through with this jingle I wrote for a client. I was going for that late 70's early 80's Smooth Jazz feel. Besides the fact that the mastering bus is a tad over compressed, let me know what you guys think. Be aware that my strengths are in writing, arranging, lead and backing vocals, keys, drum programming, sound shaping and design. I'm not a mix or mastering engineer. I hate mixing. If I had a Preset called "Late 70's bob James," I'd use it. If I had a budget for hiring a mix engineer, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Needless to say, I am extremely proud of the arrangement and performances. All was recorded and mixed in Pro Tools 9. All sounds except for the drums were stock. Some of them are less than desirable, but for now, they'll have to do. The drums I used was the free Drumcore kits. Anyway, looking forward to hearing your thoughts. http://www.kevinreeves.net/WeTalk.mp3 Enjoy.

Can't figure out adressb ook.
Hey folks. I can't believe this, but I can't seem to figure out the address book. I imported a .csv file with about 500 names on it. It shows that I have 500 cards in the address book, but the list only shows like 5 names, and the info scroll area doesn't show any email addresses or anything, just the name and a notes field. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated. I've been using voiceover forever, but now am just starting to use the address book and can't believe I'm not getting something. Lol. You win some, you lose some. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
