PS: If you shouldn't be visibly impaired and assumed you should have issues with reading for what other reason ever, then consider to use less command line, but more GUIs to do audio recordings. The reason for this is, that GUIs for audio work usually don't require reading and that it's harder to do audio work, if Mr. Hawking does interrupt it by breaking in. Having issues with reading (but even if reading should be an easy pleasure) and the wish to use the computer to do audio work, GUIs are much more pleasant to use, than command line, assumed the user isn't visible impaired. Tools for audio related work are much more "visually" then "verbally", so if possible users should use GUI based tools instead of command line tool. Especially creative audio artwork (music) is mostly done by the right cerebral hemisphere, so closer to the "visually" way of thinking, then to the "verbally" way of thinking. I'm usually using command line instead of file managers and similar tools, since a few bash commands are easier to use, and give a better overview, then to learn how to use complicated GUI tools with confusing overviews. However for audio work, especially for artwork I prefer GUIs over command line, since it does absolutely require no verbally thinking and reading (assumed the GUI is self explaining, following common standards), everything is plain visually, even signs (play, record, scroll etc.) are not that confusing as letter put together to words are (Ilbdpqmn). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
