Thanks for your comment. I want to do even better demonstrations because I have learned so much more, but my focus has turned away from social media lately. Someday I will do a few comprehensive videos on what I have learned and the equipment I’m using now.

If you’re really interested in learning Pro Tools, there is an official guide for blind and visually impaired at this link ptaccess.github.io/

@@Baskis360 Yes, looking forward to it. Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

Yes that’s true! There’s a lot of ways to do audio and music recording…

I am not familiar with using windows and Pro Tools together. I have been informed that the pro tools PC based version or windows version, is not very accessible. The Apple platform is absolutely more accessible, especially if you use Pro Tools with flo tools.

Thanks so much! This is an old video and I've learned so much more, I need to make a more advanced and thorough demonstration. We live in a wild world and everybody should enjoy every moment. I hope you don't lose any more vision and you can continue doing The things you love. Thanks for the kind words and take care of yourself.

@@Baskis360 hell yea soldier. Love and respect man.

Yes it is possible to use auto tune and melodyne to tune vocals. Some parts of the plug-in/software is not completely accessible and may require some special macros or programmed keyboard shortcuts. I am still learning how to use tuning software, but will try to post here again when I can do a demonstration.

@@Baskis360 Thankyou, waiting

Thank you for the kind words. Berklee has a normal online course for anybody who wishes to take lessons, but it is designed for a sighted person really. There are a lot of helpful tips and strategies you learn, especially just the fundamentals, but you do not learn all the keyboard shortcuts necessarily. There is a live class generally and you can ask instructors questions along with the other students. I plan on giving instruction and can help if you’d like to set up a time to speak, I would gladly do just that. Just let me know?

@@Baskis360 hey there, thanks for the quick response. I definitely be interested in speaking with you. I already use ProTools and have a dinghy 003. Thinking of upgrading though and would like to chat further. Oh, I am visually impaired as well completely. LOL are you on Facebook?

Yes I am on Facebook if you search for my name Steven C Baskis or visit my website baskis.com and scroll down to the contact form, you can send me a private message. We can talk over the phone or email, but connect with me on Facebook or privately through my website first. My email address: steve@baskis360.com

@@Baskis360 OK cool. I’ll be in touch in the next 24 hours. Thanks man

I recently downloaded some izotope plug-ins and it is possible to use the plug-ins, some of the features may not be as easy to use because they require vision. I have friends I work with who are blind that use isotope elements and RX to do different kinds of edits with no problem. In the future I hope to demonstrate some of these things on KZfaq. Hope this helps…

Steve, thank you very much for fast and complete answer. I wish you success in everything.

Hello, Steve. I'd like to ask more a little bit about using Izotope RX on macOS. Please, tell, is it compulsory to use Flo Tools for working with RX in Pro Tools? Do you know is it possible to work in RX directly through the program interface on macOS, without Pro Tools? Thank you. Good luck.

Hey thanks for your question. I would say on the Apple platform GarageBand would be the most straightforward and simplest thing to start out with. More complex Digital audio workstations would be: reaper, logic pro or pro tools. All of these are accessible for the most part and are used by hundreds of blind/visually impaired individuals around the world. I primarily work on Apple, so I cannot refer you to things on windows or other platforms much, I apologize for that. All of these software programs have a steep learning curve, but you can use them in a minimal way to just capture audio and playback.

@@Baskis360 I appreciate the quick response. I have an old ipad that needs to be fixed it's just an affordability issue. Hopefully I can work that out at some point to have access to apps that are more accessable. Take care

@@Baskis360 The thing about steep learning curves as they are as steep as they used to since there are a million resources on KZfaq to learn stuff like this from. Yeah appreciate this list and I'm currently researching ipads now.

Absolutely, the Internet is amazing with blogs, tutorials and demonstrations. There are definitely a lot of resources out there and I can point you to forums, WhatsApp groups and other things if you’re interested? There are hundreds of blind/visually impaired people on these groups who actively talk to each other and demonstrate things, or even just describe how to get stuff done. Most of them are working on Apple or PC-based computer systems, not heard of too many working on mobile devices, but that is becoming more and more prevalent. I used garage band once or twice on my iPhone and it worked just fine. You could also buy a physical hardware device to do multi channel recording. The iPad should work great for garage band as well, there also is probably many third-party applications to choose from that I don’t know of.

@@Baskis360 That would be great. I'm gonna be doing some research and figuring things out for an ipad.. To explain wanting to go streamline I had a custom 5 string base built about 25 years ago. I see a little bit so it has optics. When I finally brought it home it had 2 more pots on it than I know what to do with even today lol even today lol. I will contact you back in a few weeks when I have figured out the tablet situation. Again much appreciated and take care chat soon

I would need a whole lot more information to troubleshoot the problem. You should visit flotools.org and follow the instructions thoroughly

Do you know if low tools works with ProTools first?

I believe at one point there was an older version that worked with Pro Tools first, but the last time I tested the newest ProTools version with the latest flo Tools version, they did not work. It is best to start with a ProTools standard version or Pro Tools ultimate version and not with Pro Tools first unfortunately.

Hey, thanks for your question. Not entirely sure what the issue is but if you follow this link and review chapter 1, you will learn how to best optimize Pro Tools. You will require a newer version of Pro Tool though. ptaccess.github.io/

Here is the direct link to chapter 1. ptaccess.github.io/chapter01/

Big thanks I hope it works with 12 cause that’s the only version I got cracked so you know where I can get some good studio stems to learn I want to get this right for khara how is the Mac you bought this pci card stuff

So I have no experience trying to use jaws or NVDA on a PC based system with pro tools installed. I am told by individuals who beta test and work closely with avid ProTools that it is not accessible. Pro Tools is definitely accessible with voiceover on the Mac system. If you have a PC system with jaws or NVDA, I would recommend trying it out and seeing whether or not it works if you have the capability to do so. Again, as far as I have heard it is not accessible on the PC/Windows computer systems.
