Phil, while PT on Windows isn't accessible by any real definition, it is better than what is possible with the shipping version on the Mac. On the Mac, the mix and edit windows are completely blank. And, while you can read the dialog boxes with VoiceOver, PT doesn't recognize when you click on any of the controls. On Windows, you can see some parts of the mix/edit windows like track name, and some basic parameters. The dialog boxes work. You need to use the Jaws cursor, but you can accomplish some very very basic things. You can open and save sessions. You can add tracks. I've seen Kevin Reeves manage to load WAV files on to tracks. I think it is possible to operate the export function that bounces the session. Charles, it is fine to install Pro Tools on your ADK machine. It will work just fine with the ProjectMix. You can save Sonar projects as OMF format, and directly load them in Pro Tools MPowered. However, I think that you will need to purchase the DV Toolkit option for Pro Tools in order to get OMF support.

How are you going to do the export from Pro Tools in Windows, baring in mind the fact that there's no accessibility at all for Pro Tools in Windows?

I use an M-Audio ProjectMix as my audio interface. Now, I have a friend who would like to do some work with me on four projects recorded with Pro Tools. Here is my question: Would it be OK if I install Pro Tools in my system in order to open these projects and export them to Sonar? I have been working with Sonar for about 7 months and my whole system works very nice for me. I would not like to create any conflicts or unknowingly change some settings that could affect the way either Sonar or my computer works. Can Sonar and Pro Tools coexist peacefully in the same XP-pro environment? Are there any settings in Pro Tools or any plug-in that I should be careful with during installation? Finally, if it is OK to install Pro Tools, do you know what is the best way to export a project from Pro Tools to Sonar? I have seen some references to the OMF format. Can I get that from Pro Tools? My friend is sighted and she does have some experience with Pro Tools, so she will be doing the actual exporting of the projects. Thanks in advance for your advise.
