Something else you guys might want to note about the way platinum
handles automation.
Normally, one can turn on automation write on a control in the
applications menu and ride the fader with learning a midi controler or
using the computer keyboard, and sonar will faithfully re-create your moves.
But in platinum, it seems like this is a bit different.
If you tap the keys, in increments,
it will record them and move up or down, but if you hold the key down to
zoom a fader up and down, it doesn't work it only grabs the first press.
Now this might be related to the mode of automation, I thought I saw
some thing someplace,
about touch mode, and maybe there's a latch thing you got to turn on or off,
there are a lot more features in platinum to learn than was in 8.5.
What we can do with take and automation lanes and such.
The big one I want to do which I haven't hit on yet is to replace
existing automation with new without having to delete first.
Ok, back to more digging.

Yes, had a conversation with John
yesterday and he explained the buffering that goes on in jaws, not present in we or NVDA hence jaws not lighting up thenative ui stuff quickly.
I like the control shift f11 and the quick field navigation to get to volume and pan and such.
When I hit escape though it doesn't drop me out in the control which i think it should.
Using control and arrow keys to adjust values is very slow, one reason we need to be able to be dropped out at the control in the real ui and not the overlay is to get at context application menus and such so we can do automation, drop snap shots, and all the stuff that we want, but quick navigation is groovy, I like that better than ct's shift and letter combinations to voice, and double pressed to get there,
this method john has devised is nice, just need to refine it.
Also navigating in the track grid is still clunky, other near by fields are voiced, and lots of extra stuff doesn't need to be voiced, and weird stuff happens like tracks get selected when I didn't ask then to be, but this is going to be really nice.
when it's all buffed out.
