Hello Jason: Your friend in sound is correct in that it is not the "Standard" for compmuterized recording workstations. But, it IS the only one that is accessible for the blind producer at beginner and advanced levels. My suggestion is that you tell your friend to put a blind fold on and attempt to navigate his "Standard" studio. I suspect that our interface might not be as stupid to him at that point. I'm sure than when a more "Standard" option comes around that is as accessible, it will be reviewed by the blind producer/musical community and hjudged on it's merrits. I started with a ProTools studio, but when I lost my sight, was no longer able to navigate it in any useful way. Cakewalk Sonar and the CakeTalking scripts have allowed me to continue in the production enviroment. I'm thankful that there is at least something out there for us to work with and I look forward to see what future technology might bring us.
