Where can one purchase the Studio Guard? I'm most interested but Google finds
not.

Peace,

Hi Adrian!

Good of you to join this list. I’m a friend of Marcus’s and have given him some
input re Audacity and screen readers. Perhaps we should explain to other list
members that Marcus Diess is a sighted inventor who invented a Braille output
device for the VU-meter, enabling blind radio presenters and podcasters to read
and adjust the audio output in real-time. It’s called the Studio Guard. Marcus
is now looking into building a MIDI-controller fully accessible to blind users.
It would be brilliant if it could be linked with Audacity. It would open up so
many possibilities. What do others think?

I’m not aware that you can use a jog shuttle with Audacity. Are you saying
that’s what you’re going to do? I worked with it a lot when I was still editing
audio on a professional Denon MD-machine and found it immensely useful. I’d
love to be able to use that with Audacity. It would be a lot faster to use than
zooming in and out and using the cursor keys for precise cuts.



Cheers! Robbie

Hi all, Adrian here.

I'm a sighted user who is starting to get into audacity development.

I'm getting a Contour Designs' Jog Shuttle.

Does anyone on this list use one with Audacity?

Is it useful for blind users?



I am also looking at a couple of other related projects:

A timecode output that can be hooked up to a braille reader.

Automating Audacity via an external MIDI controller.

Both of these were suggested by Marcus Diess at Studio-Guard.



Any of your thoughts on these would be greatly appreciated, either on or off
list. My email is adrian.j.wadey@xxxxxxxxx



Adrian



p.s. are there any etiquette guidelines for using this list?
