Hi Clive,
I use Goldwave and agree it is quite easy. I also like the help files which
are, on the whole, easy to follow. I didn't know about the extra resources for
BCAB members, could you elaborate about what else is available please? To my
great shame, I am not a member, but admire their work.
Cheers, James

Goldwave's pretty good at what it does, and it's pretty near fully accessible.
All of its help fules are accessible, and if you're a British Computer
Association of the Blind member, you have access to a good Word document giving
walk-through of its features.
Best,
Clive

Hi Sarah,
I'm afraid you might be stuck with recording with guide as it's quite a limited
piece of software. Where I volunteer we teach people to use guide, and it's got
nothing so far as I am aware to record with.
That said, if computers aren't your thing, there are a lot of great hardware
units out there, from tape machines to minidisk recorders to fully-fledged
digital recording systems. I've just sent a friend of mine a message, and I'll
let you know when I get the answer, but there's a little device made by Olympus
(not sure of spelling). It's a multitrack recorder, and it's pretty well
accessible so far as I can tell... I don't think it has speech output or
anything like that, but I know my friend certainly got a lot of really good
stuff done with it.
It's got reverb and possibly other fx with it too, so you could do some good
stuff with it.
Sadly, the recording programs for computers aren't easy to use - by their very
nature they're complicated beasts. The one saving grace though, is that you can
pick your speed.
When I used to record with Garage Band, I used to use the internal microphone
on my Mac, and the On screen Keyboard (which I still love using). So I was
completely removed from the abstracts of audio devices ETC. Nowa days I'm more
hands-on, with a big audio interface, and I pick inputs, busses etc, but the
point I'm trying to make is that you can choose to interact as little or not as
you like with your chosen software of choice.
If you're interested in knowing any more, please feel free to ask and I'll give
you more info - just didn't want to spam the list with this one post if it
wasn't something you were interested in! :-)
Cheers,
Take care,
Chris Norman

HI Chris,
It was lovely and interesting to read your email and I think its a
great idea to share things about ourselves. our musical backgrounds etc. I sing
mostly with backing tracks usually covers but I especially love singing jazz
and songs from the shows. I like singing sixties and seventies to and some
modern songs so there is something to appeal to all ages. I have a demo which
I hope to use to try and find an agent so I can get more work at weddings
parties etc and maybe even clubs but I especially enjoy recording and would
really like to find a way of doing it which is accessible with guide but so far
haven't had any luck and dolphin didn't have any advice either. I love hearing
special effects things like loop peddles etc they are extremely clever. I'm
glad you included the link to your web site which I will certainly check out. I
hope you enjoy the list as I do.
Take care and best wishes.
Sarah
