DrumAccess (Drum Libraries)

Welcome to the DrumAccess libraries page

We are very happy to present our drum libraries, usable by everyone, but specially designed for the blind.

We recently noticed that several Drum VSTi developers had completely overhauled their interface, rendering their products unusable, even with the LBL extension for NVDA.

We have therefore decided to do without these companies which, despite multiple attempts on our part, remain deaf to taking into account the accessibility of their graphical interfaces.

So we're announcing the release of a series of drum libraries, which we hope will meet all your needs.

Best Recording Software for Blind or Visually Impaired People

For blind musicians and music producers, choosing the right recording software is essential to maximizing their creativity and productivity. Among the many options available, Reaper stands out as one of the best recording software, thanks to its accessibility powered by tools like OSARA and NVDA. Here is an overview of the recording solutions most suitable for blind users.

Reaper

Reaper is a very powerful and flexible audio production and recording software, known for its exceptional accessibility. In combination with OSARA and the NVDA screen reader, Reaper provides a smooth and efficient user experience for blind musicians.

  • OSARA: OSARA (Open Source Accessibility for the REAPER Application) is a plugin that considerably improves the accessibility of Reaper. It allows users to easily navigate the interface, edit tracks, and control parameters via screen readers. You can download OSARA here.
  • NVDA: NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) is a free and open source screen reader for Windows that works seamlessly with Reaper and OSARA to provide verbal descriptions of on-screen elements. Download NVDA here.
  • Price: Reaper is available at a very affordable price, with a personal license for $60 and a commercial license for $225. The software can be downloaded here.

Logic Pro

Logic Pro is another choice for blind musicians, but it's only available on Mac. Using VoiceOver, macOS's built-in screen reader, Logic Pro provides good accessibility for blind users. Musicians can navigate the interface, edit tracks, and use virtual instruments and effects.

Pro Tools

Pro Tools is audio production and recording software widely used in the music industry. The software is partially accessible to blind users through PTAccess.PTAccess is a set of scripts that improves the accessibility of Pro Tools for screen reader users. It's important to note that accessibility is optimized with VoiceOver on Mac.
