Hi list, I'm back. I left for awhile, because I couldn't follow the discussions--too technical for me! LOL I'm going to be getting my diploma next month, and I'm trying to network with blind audio producers/mixers/DJs, etc. To learn the tricks of the trade. And I have a question as well: do those of you that are producers, DJs, etc. Work in your own home studeo or do you work in someone else's? I know Nashville seems to be a hot bed for music studeos. Do any of you have experience there? Another option I've thought of is working in film/TV doing their audio things. It sounds like, from what I've observed, that i'll have to create a couple home-based businesses--one for audio and one for Braille. At the moment, I have no equipment whatsoever, just the Pac Mate I'm using to write this message. And as far as material goes, it's not my best. I know if I have JAWS and Goldwave or JAWS and Sonar/CT, a good computer system with a midi controller, etc., I'll be able to put together a much better portfolio of my abilities. The only problem is that BVR won't fund equipment if they don't think I can get a job. And I don't know if home-based businesses count because they're not constant gainful employment. Or are they? Any thoughts, suggestions? Chelsea
