[Jobs] Blind People in the Recording Industry

[Rachel]

Several years a go when I lived in south America I had a friend who was a sound engineer, I lost contact with him, but he was working in the industry on Ecuador being an sound engineer for a big recording studio down there.
I am sorry I do not have his contact any more.
But I just wanted to say that there are people out there and like Tim said it depends in what they want to do, their skills and the job demands.
I my self helpped in recording for the theater, but back then there were not so many software's, it was more a hardware deal, so I am out of date!
I hope that helps.

RM.

  There are plenty of blind people in the recording industry. I'd say most of 
  them doing it though are freelance for hire or own their own studios. It 
  kind of depends if you want to go into business recording other people or if 
  you simply have the equipment and proficiency so you can produce your own 
  records without having to hire an engineer and studio for $50 and upper 
  hour. I operate my own studio setup to save costs in production but don't 
  really hire my services out because I'd rather spend the time focusing on my 
  own music and selling CDs.
  The bottom line though is that there are blind people operating recording 
  studios on many different levels. There's a plethora of individuals working 
  out of small bedroom project studios and the number starts to shrink as you 
  get up into the larger more expensive studio setups. It kind of just depends 
  on what you want to do, what you know how to do and how much demand there is 
  for your skill set and equipment.
  Sonar is an excellent accessible program for extensive MIDI arranging and 
  light audio multi-tracking. Pro Tools is the industry standard for 
  multi-track audio recording and production. It isn't completely accessible 
  but there are a number of tactile surface controllers and screenreader 
  applications that get it in the ball park. There are other alternatives as 
  well.
  Let me know if you want to know more.
