Re: [orca-list] Audio Production with Orca: Incredibly! In? credibly! interested for comments!

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

I am afraid there is nothing as usefull as Reaper, Adobe Audition, 
Soundforge are on windows or protools is on mac for linux I am afraid.
There is an attempt to port reaper to linux, however accessibility is 
not implemented there. Porting osara would require rewriting much out of 
it as on windows it's dependant on windows specific APIs.
Audacity is good however again accessibility is not as good as it's on 
windows because underlying toolkit wx-gtk is not completelly accessible 
on linux.
Rosegarden is a QT5 based app. Main window is accessible so are the 
menus, however I either need help when trying to make some good use out 
of it or the accessibility is not sufficient.

What I haven't looked in details at yet is nama. A text mode and 
graphical DAW Jeanette and perhaps some other blind people are able to 
make some really good use of.
See here for the starting point... http://juliencoder.de/nama/index.html

Another great source of material for music producers might be this guide 
for KXStudio. I think that's a distribution suitable for those who are 
taking audio production seriously on linux: 
https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/kxstudio_manual . I don't think there 
is something accessibility related though.

Greetings

Peter
