Making Accessible Audio Software - Perspectives of a Blind Music Producer - Trey Culver & Adam Wilson - ADC 2024
---

Did you know that there are very few pieces of audio software and hardware that are really usable by blind people? Especially if you want to go deep into sound design, rather than just browse presets.

In this talk Adam Wilson will be supporting a blind music producer - Trey Culver - with very specific knowledge and experience with regard to making electronic music using existing tools and software.

They will talk about the actual experiences of a blind beat maker, and his perspective on how to make your software truly accessible and usable by blind and partially sighted music producers.

Trey Culver

Trahern Culver is a musician and music technologist, as well as helping and consulting with music technology companies to make both their hardware products and software products accessible to totally blind users. Trahern also makes a mixture of techno jungle and experimental grime under the artist name sound Warrior.
He is totally blind with cerebral palsy and because of this is a passionate accessibility advocate and electronic music enthusiast. He has a basic knowledge of audio programming concepts though was unable to code himself.

Adam Wilson

A seasoned music producer and programmer turned audio developer, with a passion for microtonality.

Adam got into audio software development in 2014, when he first became aware of microtonality. Realising the lack of intuitive software to aid with microtonal composition, he pivoted from server-side web development into audio. This also allowed him to fuse his two lifelong passions into one career path: music production and programming.

Adam founded Node Audio initially to release his first iOS app, "Entonal Tuner" and it has since become both an audio software consultancy and a platform for releasing audio plugins. Entonal Studio was released in 2022.

Randy Young

With over 20 years of experience and 3,500 live shows as part of the indie band Cherry Suede, Randy Young learned early how to stand out in crowded markets. While many musicians were chasing major record deals, Randy was pioneering live streaming, crowdfunding, and fan communities—well ahead of social media’s rise. Later, he brought these innovative strategies to the pro audio software industry, helping developers bridge the gap between technical excellence and market success. His work with Denmark’s Relab Development has driven 40-50% year-over-year growth, double that in 2024, by tackling the critical marketing challenges of a crowded others often overlook.

Embedded Software Development - A Wild Ride! - Matt Speed & Andy Normington - ADC 2023

Embedded software development (aka firmware) can be challenging, but it's incredibly rewarding. Sitting at the beating heart of all audio hardware products, it handles the UI, connects the physical and virtual, and transforms signals and sounds to bring the product to life.

Join us to hear about how it connects with the electronics, software development and QA worlds, and the fun you can have bringing hardware products to life!!

Matt Speed

Matt has worked at Novation for 8 years, helping to develop a range of synths and controllers. He loves DSP, mathematics and music, and has an unhealthy(?) passion for the 56k.

Andy Normington

I work with embedded software on new Focusrite and Novation products. Coming from a background in music and audio and having started my career more focused on electronics, I enjoy learning about the way the systems we develop work in the real world - it's always a little different to what I expect! I'm always on the lookout for ways to do things a little better than last time, which at work drives my interest in teams and tooling (and at home drives my ever-increasing stash of DIY tools and gadgets). I'm at ADC for the first time in 2023, and really looking forward to learning lots and meeting people.
