I am a singer and I would like to find a good program that
would be useable with Jaws or any other screen reader to record
separate tracks and then put them together.
Laura, by far the most accessible package for us is Cakewalk Sonar,
along with the free Jaws scripts for it called JSonar.
www.cakewalk.com for the software and
www jsonar.com for the scripts.
There is a mailing list for JSonar you can join, documentation on
the JSonar site, excellent online help that comes with Sonar
itself, and there are message forums for Sonar on the Cakewalk
site. Also, there's a great list called Midi-mag for blind folks
and music technology. To join, go to
http://www.midimag.org/
If you're a complete novice when it comes to doing midi, recording,
mixing, editing etc. on the computer, you might be better served by
the CakeTalking package from Dancing Dots, which consists of both
scripts and a very long tutorial full of step-by-step instructions.
For information on that, go to:
http://www.dancingdots.com/prodesc/CakeTalkingForSONAR.htm
Oh, and be sure to get a decent audio interface for your computer,
a good microphone or two, etc. It all depends what your needs are
and what amount of money you are willing to spend. Usually, you
get what you pay for.
Chris, trying to nip this one in the bud *grin*
