How to Logic – Using voiceover with Apple Logic Pro – Tutorials and demos

Tutorials by JennyK

Using a Digital Audio Workstation can be challenging for anyone. Whether it is Logic Pro, Reaper, Protools, or any of the growing number of audio production apps available. Using a screenreader adds a significant challenge to something that is already quite complicated and sometimes quite mysterious: The D.A.W.

Here, I attempt to make life a little bit easier for those using Apple Logic Pro as that is my D.A.W of choice. sometimes seemingly minor tasks become impossible because Apple has not implemented appropriate functions for screenreader users.

It can be frustrating when a seemingly so easy thing can’t be done and I have spent many hours pulling my hair trying to find a way to do something just to realize that it is simply not possible. that is the worst case scenario in my world.
