Hi Guys!
Just a small slightly off-topic question. Recently we were contacted by a blind man who became an audio designer. He is able to edit waveforms, but multitrack editing is very difficult (dor instance in Wavelab). If necessary, we would like to start a project in order to find solutions for editing multiple tracks at one time, just like sighted editors do. I would like to ask you:
- is it possible for you to edit waves in multitrack mode?
- which program do you use?
- which problems do you encounter?
- does your hardware or screenreader fully support all the features of the program?
- any tips or tricks? smile
Just to know we are not trying to find solutions for things that are already possible. Thanks a lot!

Apparently no-one is audio editing here?

I'm sure there are people audio editing on here, given the topics on things like goldwave and such. Unfortunately I'm not one of them, sorry.

I'm a little startled noone has given even the slightest response on here.

Yeah, it would really help me out... wink
I searched on the internet and there is hardly any info about multitrack editing for the blind. That is why we want to research the possibilities and find a proper solution. The guy we're doing the project with was a photographer by profession. He became blind and focused on the audio domain...but multitrack editing seems a big problem to him, because of the visual orientation. That is why I'd like to ask if everyone is having problems with multiple layers of sound or not.

I tried to use Audacity, but I did not figure out how to switch between the individual tracks with the keyboard. I heard of a program called studio recorder from the american printing house for the blind. I think it was designed to be accessible for blind and visually impaired people.
