<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Stephan?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't mean to but in but got excited when you
mentioned spg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I too started out with spg years ago, and wrote
many setfiles for it with vocal-eyes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I made every part of that thing talk, and used it
in the studio well in to this century, slaved to adat machines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Brian can add his comments ofcourse since you asked
him specifically, but the main deal with sonar is that it has been worked on by
two different jaws packages for many years, both cake talking from dancing dots
which has a comprehensive manual tutorials and custom jaws scripting to do
practically everything you need </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to do to work the studio with audio and
midi.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other screen-readers have basic support window-eyes
to some extent and nvda to a better extent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I worked with Jamie last christmas and we got nvda
working much better with sonar with many new features.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What sonar has that reaper doesn't is better and
more instruments, mastering tools, loop content, you have a matrix view which
allows you to load loops and groove them to a tempo and trigger them to midi for
real time performances,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you get a good drum module</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sessiondrummer 3,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did free ahk and hsc scripts for it
too,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the scripts are free, but I sell
support,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you get a good piano sound, roland groove synth,
the tts which is a gm synth, drop zone, sfz which is a completely accessible
sample playback system,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you can layer and control your samples with fx and
envelopes and all if you learn the opcode language, this open architecture is
also inherited with dimension pro and rapture which you get a lite version with
sonar producer but you can buy that from cakewalk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's like 4 dvds with tons of production stuff, oh
did I mention the big whapping library of rex files?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So this isn't to make reaper look bad at all,
reaper is awesome for what it does and the price, but sonar is another thing
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are going to seriously persue working a
studio,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you have a lot more of a path to follow with sonar,
and a lot more help available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's early days for reaper,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and as blind folks gravitate toward
it,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it will maybe catch up, but to make reaper and
sonar equal in all ways, you have to buy a lot of stuff to help reaper
out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>NOt everything that comes with sonar is the
absolute best in class, but like protools, or cubass, or the other big players,
you could do it all with sonar alone if you needed to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But that probably wouldn't happen with
reaper.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that being said, reaper does audio editing and item
based editing, sonar calls them clips,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a lot better.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So that's the deal in a nutshell.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

do you think is on Sonar better? I read sometimes that blind people using
Sonar but I didn’t tried it out, too expensive for my needs. ;) However, Sonar
is Cakewaalk and they purchased the Voyetra Sequencing products which I was
using 20 years ago… ;)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
