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

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

Richard,
The list address is nfb-rd@lothlorien.nfbcal.org.  I think it can now take
automatic subscriptions, but could be wrong.  Try

The list owner is Brian Buhrow who you can reach at
