Greetings, everyone,
I was given the following address for NFB research and development
list, I believe. What I'm trying to accomplish here is to get a
dialog started on access to a professional quality mastering system
which is currently not accessible by us. WE have the system in our
recording studio at the national center, so we'd be in a perfect
position to work on this. I'll include complete text of the message I
sent, which was bounced, as my isp couldn't find the address. If the
address is incorrect, please forward this to the correct place, or
pass along the info to me.
Thanks

Greetings, everyone,
I have been in communication with Harold Sneider on an archiving
project he is working on, and understand from discussions with him
that the digital audio editing package we use at the national center
is not accessible by blind folks. As it's one of the popular apps for
the audio mastering suite, I'd like to see this remedied.
The other popular apps for audio mastering are mac based, and all are
also inaccessible. As I plan to build a high quality mastering
facility within a couple of years, I'd like to find something which I
can use to provide this service to clients. The lack of such access
has already cost me good employment opportunities in my chosen field.
Other considerations, such as monitoring speakers and associated
hardware are all known quantities, but I've yet to find accessible
quality digital audio mastering tools. Such software packages as
Sound Forge and Cooledit are only operable at 16 bit resolution,
whereas a quality mastering facility needs to work at 20 or 24 bits.
These other packages I mention are fine for basic editing on a
semi-pro level, but are not what you find at quality mastering
facilities.
AS we have the product at our recording studio located at the national
center, we're in a good position to help find means of access to this
package.
As I'm not presently on the R&D listserv, please carbon me with any
further discussion on this topic, or supply me with proper information
to subscribe to the list so I can follow future discussions.
Regards,
Richard Webb
