I was wondering, I am into recording quite a bit, and I need a recording program that is accessible to some one who is using jaws. I need that program to be pretty well built so that it makes an 8 channel mixer sound good with it. Right Now I am using WavePad but I don't think that is the best program that I can be using. I am looking for any programs that are good for recording and are accessible. Thanks

the 3 I can think of are total recorder, sound forge, and goldwave. they all have their advantages and disadvantages. depends on what you're trying to do.

If you want to do multi track recording sonar is good but to make it accessible you will have to buy some special scripts for jaws and they cost 200 dollars or something like that. I don't remember exactly.

hmmmm, well where can you get gold wave and those other programs that singer of songs recommended? I could never find them, and my sound forge wouldn't let me use it unless I registered my full name and adress and all this stuff I didn't want to give out.

Here's where to get GoldWave.
The open-sources sound program called Audacity can be found here
You can find free JFW scripts for Goldwave here.

you can get free scripts for sonar at www.victortsaran.com. Save your money. These are under constant development

I know of Victor's other work; he's very good! Didn't know he had gotten into JFW scripting. Thanks for the pointer.

Adobe audition gets my vote. I have used it primarily with Window-Eyes because I like the way the screen is rendered by the screen reader. I would think Jaws will work oo. Lot's of mouse clicking is required but all the graphics are visible so it's easy to use the find feature to find them. Also, audition does have the capability to creat shortcuts to many functions.It's a bit processor intensive but man! lot's of fun and does the job.

well, Keep in mind that your quality of recording is not based on your DAW application, but rather, on the AD/DA converters on your machine's sound card. Now, are you refering to running an eight channel outboard mixer into the input on your soundcard? Or, does your mixer have optical or USB out etc? For purely stereo recording, you'd be fine with sound forge. For anything else, go with sonar studio or producer, version 4.

If you compare two different DAW applications which are both capable of let's say 24 bit, 44.1k recording/playback, using the same outboard gear and soundcard, your source sound will be exactly the same with either one. Now, if we're talking about speech accessibility and mixing features, track count, plug in support, midi support, etc, then that is a whole different ball game. I suggest again, looking into sonar 4 producer or studio edition.
