[Rwp] [RWP] OSARA, an open-source ReaAccess replacement in development

[Chris Belle]

Most of that standard stuff is already available in sonar,
with any screen-reader, and the key bindings
are standard too.

Caketalking does some pretty aggressive changes to the standard ui of 
sonar though with it's own way of selecting tracks and such, I don't 
like that.

I use ct mainly for my students that do, and it does have access to the 
clips pane,
and some better access to the plug-ins that come with sonar,
but ct is very annoyin in it's own way too.

It constantly looses focus, and doesn't like to share with anything else,
it's impossible to use any other scripting with it like my 
sessiondrummer 3 autohot scripts,
it does allow for hsc, but ct's most valuable asset is that big 400 page 
manual it comes with.

I often work in sonar with no scripts at all,
just because the scripts get in my way,
you just can't go really fast with ct.

I like nvda with sonar too,
but window-eyes has better hardware speech support.

I digress though, this is the reaper list.

I know what ever Jamie whips up will be very good,
he goes over and above to make things right.
