Yes

Hi,

Yes, very much so. I did my master's thesis on this exact subject and got to use ProTools to record and mix a full band. VoiceOver gives access to all parts of the program including edit and mix windows, plug-ins and meters.

It's best to use ProTools with a control surface as this makes moving around much faster than interacting or using the item chooser to find faders and controls.

Here's a great resource from Steve Baskis (Hi Steve!) for anyone looking to start with ProTools. you'll also want to check out FloToolsβ€”an external software option that makes navigating the ProTools interface much easier for us VoiceOver users.

Hello. A control surface is a hardware device that you can plug into your computer that allows you to control different settings in Protools. I have one, and the model is called the SSl UF8.
Regarding the price for Protools, it is subscription based.

Hi. You can check out ProTools First. This is a free 16 track version of ProTools with some limited functionality in terms of audio plug-ins, etc. More information is here:
