Alex and I kick back, talk about how he makes his awesome metal tracks in Reaper. Which freeware and notta so freeware VSTs he uses and how. Potentially there will be a follow-up to this on youtube where the actual step-by-step process will be illustrated. Until then, enjoy!

 

Sincerely,

Yours truly

After the apocalypse Alex and myself decided to kick back and talk about stuff we’re actually passionate about. Oh wait… First there’s this Pages thing.

 

Here’s my detailed review of it: …new line, new line, new line, new line.

(Be sure to write a detailed letter of gratitude to our good friends over at accessibility@apple. They are new line waiting for your new line thank you new line letters new line).

 

’nuff said!

 

Now onto cool stuff. We talk about:

• Apogee Jam

• Funsky apps like Impaktor

• Do a bit of a rant on metronome apps for iOS.

• Then we talk about the power and the glory of Ampkit for the Mac. Its a beauty way to go. Fully accessible implementing keyboard access, shortcuts and tuff like dat. Very, very efficient and da whole big ting.

 

Were planning to talk about Accessibility of Reaper for OSX next. …but its another discussion for another good time. For now hit play and hear us ramble. ;)

 

sincerely.

Yours truly

As mentioned in the last episode we’re revisiting OSX accessibility. We’re joined by jamieTeh of NV Access (a truly professional accessibility hero and tuff like dat and da whole big ting).

 

It is not just about VoiceOver this time. Its about efficient user interfaces. Some very basic concepts such as:

• Keyboard access

• Keyboard shortcuts

 

Followed by a bit of good old VoiceOver stuff like:

• Verbosity

 

As always listen to find out more.

 

Sincerely,

Yours truly

 

PS

Speaking of efficiency and keyboard access and tuff like dat you might want to check out this old article by Apple. It hasn’t been updated in a while. In fact implementation of full keyboard access hasn’t been updated in a while. Moreover the so-called full keyboard access gives no access to sidebars and contextual menus. **hint: accessibility@apple.com is awaiting your positive and professional feedback.

“OMG we’re all gonna die!!!!”

Tommy and myself go over some interesting facts and myths surrounding the long awaited end of the world.

Evidence speaks for itself:

• Blind community is in distress. Skype accessibility going downhill.
• Micro-singularity found inside Apple iDevices. Wanna know where that TTS goes?
• Giant solar flares, sun spots, magnetic poll shifts and the mysterious planet X.

Kick back & listen. …And don’t take yourself too seriously. Its just the end of the world. They happen all the time. Remember Y2k?

Sincerely,

Yours truly.
