Hi Rick --
Anyone thinking this is off topic, go ahead and skip.
First, I know HandyTech has been offering seminars on accessible music 
production software. They did 1 2-day seminar for windows and another for mac.  
I don't know what software they use but I understand the seminars were popular 
and if there is enough demand they will offer them again.
I also have a friend who recorded an album using her mixer software to sing 
with her own voice.  She is blind. Her album is on www.cdbaby.com and the title 
is "Marrie's Marry Christmas" (note intentional misspelling to make it easy to 
find). You could contact her directly to find out what software she is using.
Sorry for the ads for these goods and services. But I thought others may find 
them interesting. (I have the album by the way and like it.)
Enjoy and happy hacking.

  Subject: Off Topic a little and Music Software


  Hi gang: I play guitar. I am looking for some multi-track recording or other 
fun accessible software. Also, does anyone know of any blind related music 
websites?
  I might be able to write scripts if the software, or external stand-alone 
devices, have DOMs that allow for scripting.
  I know this is off topic and I apologize but figure you folks are pretty up 
on computer related or blind friendly technologies and might have run across 
something I might use to expand my search into how blind musicians handle 
things.
  If you have any pointers, like websites or e-lists I can get to could you let 
me know. I will not continue this thread since it is off topic but will follow 
up with anything anyone puts up for this thread if it is allowed to go 
through.I noted that it is off topic in the subject so the list manager can 
just not allow it in the first place if he wants.
  My home e-mail is:
  ofbgmail@xxxxxxxxx
  As I mentioned, I will not post up on list again about this subject so 
contact me at my home e-mail address.
  Thanks and sorry if this is too far off list but you are the smartest techies 
I can think of who might also be blind and understand accessibility and music 
software technicals:
