Does anyone know any music production software that has good accessibility features? (self.Blind)
submitted by 1ird
I really like making music as a hobby but I can't find software that has accessibility features for low vision. Currently I just use the windows magnifier but it's less than optimal. Does anyone have any suggestions? Free or paid.

Logic is not perfect, but is pretty darn accessible (I use it). Only semi related, but dj pro 2 (for doing live dj mixing) is 100% accessible.

I'm into mixing guitar playing into electronic stuff. Using 808 drums and synths with guitar parts mixed in. I currently use FL but I find it somewhat bloated and sluggish.

So for stuff like this, and keeping accessibility in mind, I find Mac software to be good for production stuff like this. It sounds like you're on pc so that'd be quite a purchase, but Logic Pro sounds like it would do exactly what you're looking for, with accessibility.

I'll give it a whirl. I'm sure there's s trial of it to try

Unfortunately there's no trial :/ but definitely research it. It's served me very well.

I don't make music myself, so I can't give you many details. But every blind person I know who does make music seems to use this:

Thanks. I'll look into that. While I don't use reaper, I do have it installed so I might give it a try

Pro Tools on the Mac is pretty accessible and is how I make my living.

GarageBand and logic pro are very accessible on the Mac platform, and for both Mac and Windows I learned of a new piece of software called Reaper which was demonstrated to be fully accessible since it was made by both music geeks and blind people together.
