Hi Greg, may sound like an unusual question, but are you visually impaired? I'm not sure of the accessibility of Pro-Tools. The majority of people on this forum use Sonar as it has excellent access if you're visually impaired and the caketalking scrip's are amazing! I'm aware of a few guys on this list that do poke around with Pro-tools. The way I see it is, the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, this is where Elvis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and U2 to name but a few have recorded some of their biggest hits. Sun Studio now uses Sonar, I know this because I've recorded there. If it's good enough for Sun Studio, it's more than good enough for me.

I also have a motif es 8 and the m-audio axium 61 and the v-amp 2 and the boss dr-880 drum machine. I can also make Hip-hop beats as well. I have always wanted to start recording as a job weather it is working in a studio for someone or doing it myself. I just got Sonar and ct last June and I'm waiting to get my new system which is an ADK laptop 1 q a are and a Mackie onyx 1620i and a motu midi express 128 and I have taken recording arts 1 and 2 computerized audio midi 1 and 2 and the music business class and I'm also getting a commercial music certificate and I'm going to take Recording arts 2 again for my last semester in college. I graduated with a degree in music and I am taking the class again to get more experience at recording and they use Pro-tools. I live in Visalia California. Any ideas on what I can do to get some training? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5798 (20110118) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5798 (20110118) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
