blindbravo

hey everyone, I am completely blind due to an injury sustained during combat operations in the middle east in may of 2008. i have learned how to use the screen reader voice over by apple and the screen reader JAWS (job access With Speech) by freedom scientific. both of these screen readers are amazing and allow the blind to operate electronic devices without the assistance of a sighted individual. i'm writing because i'm interested in composing music, recording music/audio and mixing and mastering audio. what i've learned over the past 4 years as a blind guy, is that you have to find your own way sometimes and this might mean developing unconventional methods to accomplish a specific task. i use garage band to pod cast about accessible technology. i just started, so there is not a tremendous amount of shows yet. visit my blog and podcast http://www.blindhow.net i really want to use a more advanced digital audio software recording program on the apple macintosh operating system platform, but have learned that there are many more blind individuals utilizing the PC and microsoft operating system along side JAWS to do their recording. my podcast exists to help blind users get more out of their technology. i do not know everything, but want to teach anyone who is just starting out with accessible technology. i have spent a lot of time teaching myself how to jump around programs that are not very accessible, i hope my podcast can help others learn faster. here in the near future, i plan to go into more detail about how i use garage band to do my podcast and how i will use it to record my drum set. i have a yamaha mixer, a number of XLR microphones, firewire audio interface etc… thanks for all of your posts i apologize about my sound levels and quality in my podcast. i am a little impatient and have been trying to figure out how best to record my computers audio and my voice. still learning myself...
