RE: Parent of Blind Adult seeks info about audio equip

Wow! Thanks so much for all the input and ideas. I wasn't able to get back back in until now, so let me give some specifics. She listens to her music and videos through Youtube on the computer or the Wii, or an MP3 or DVD player all via various types of speakers and a big subwoofer that are connected via headphone jacks/plugs. She usually uses the sub woofer and a speaker simultaniously using a y connector. When she listens to things on the computer, she often has me make the recording go fast and/or slow, loves to change the pitch, add echo, etc. She also likes to hook her mic up or use her voice changer mic to sing a long in different voices. Finally she loves knobs and switches. Soooo, my thought was to find some kind of device that we could connect through the headphone jack or an adaptor that would allow her to change the sound FX, pitch, etc. on her own that would also have voice over controls if she wanted to use her mic. I know this is a tall order, but I'm optimistic that there is something that would come close to meeting her needs without spending an ungodly amount of money. I talked with someone at Sweetwater here in town and he thought something like the Roland VT-3 Voice Transformer might work. Said although its for voice, she might be able to run her music through it as well with the right plug. I have included the link below. I was also looking at dj mixers with voice over, but I'm not sure what they do exactly. Thanks again everyone for your help!Feel free to ask questions. :)
