One thought, I think it might be more of a problem in the open
software world, not knowing about needs for such special groups as
blind, colour-blind or other people. There are so many guidelines,
ISO ones and other EU and US goverment ones, some more specific,
other not so. But as Massy pointed out: We are only 0.x%, in the
field of music maybe a little more.
I'd say a little more. And many of the blind in music are highly
successful, so you'd think there'd be more interest in the world of
music-making software being accessible to the blind.
Of course, someone like Stevie Wonder can afford to pay a lot more
for such accessibility than others ...
The ultimate accessibility: hire a sighted person. :)
Actually, I'd think that if you have your DAW set up so you're
interacting with it solely through hardware controls, you'd have the
best accessibility: you listen to the sound, modify and control it via
the hardware. I just think there's no need whatever for a musician to
require anything visual in order to make sound. I've seen too many blind
musicians who are amazingly gifted partly because their brains have
shifted visual-processing neurons to audio-processing.
