Hi all this is a bit off topic but still important for visually
disabled/blind people producing or engineering music. I am a sound
engineer and one of the big shortcomings I have vs sighted engineers
is digital mixers as I can't work them because of the screen and
minimum dedicated buttons. Don't know about you guys but I haven't
seen any solutions to make digital mixers accessible and have never
herd anything from companies like yamaha, soundcraft and tascam
reguarding accessibility for blind people on their digital products. A
simple solution would be to make the software that comes with the
mixers fully accessible on mac and pc. This would enable us to use the
mixers as these days, if you have the software on a connected computer
you literally don't have to touch the mixer after plugging all the
physical cables. Everything including routing, mixing, automation etc
can be done from the computer. Don't know if some of you maybe have a
contact at a manufacturer of digital mixers as it would be nice to
hear what their view is on this subject, who knows maybe some
companies considered doing something we don't know about or who knows
maybe there's already something and I don't know about it.
