Hi Rusty, this is Chris Belle.

Good to see you over here.

I'm slowly becoming a reaper guy, having been so solidly rooted 
in sonar
land for so long, it's surely a different way of doing things, 
but some
things I like better, and some things I hate.

But it'll be another useful tool to add, you don't necessarily 
have to
pick one or the other, I'm curious about which linux option you 
found to
be useful as I have played some with linux distros, and the new 
ones are
pretty amazing with what you can do right out of the gate.

For the ordinary human that is.

Because reaccess is abandon ware,
and there's no way to fix the bugs in it, or make it work better 
with
newer versions of reaper, I think that osara is the future,
and I have a lot of confidence in Jamie, who has done work for me 
before,
and I love NVDA anyway, so it's a win, win situation.

yes, there were some things I liked about how reaccess did 
things,
the training mode, and some things voiced better, but it's early 
days
for osara, and I think especially if we cough up donations and 
keep
Jamie busy, he'll improve it for us, and since it's open source, 
anyone
can grab the source code and improve it.

So that's another win, win situation.

Since reaccess will never be developed any more, you're stuck 
with what
it is, so if it does everything you want, fine, but if you want 
anything
else, then I say out with the old, and in with the new.

I'm not necessarily
a guy who always goes for the latest and greatest,
I'm a firm believer in if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but there 
comes
a time when you have to change the tires or slide off the street 
'grin'.
So, act accordingly to your needs.

 Hi guys,
 Well, I'm diving in to Reaper.
 Just for background.  I recorded a solo holiday project two 
years ago
 using an accessible multi-track recorder on Linux.  while I love 
the
 idea of the freedom and availability of accessible software on 
Linux,
 it is clear that Reaper offers many more readily available 
features
 and it's a lot more accessible to the less technical--like 
myself--in
 more ways than just blind accessible.  No disrespect meant in 
the least
 to the application I used before.  I just think I can be more
 productive using Reaper.


 I have Reaper and reaccess which I installed last year.
 Is there ANY REASON to keep Reaccess on my system, or should I 
just
 ditch it and run with OSARA?

 thanks!
 Rusty
