Glad to help ☺️ The only accessibility issue in Avid’s I’m aware of is the lack of a ratio setting in the real time plugins. This isn’t an issue usually because you can load a preset and adjust the rest as normal, and the diff listen/compression solo/expansion solo switches make it really easy to check when audio crosses the threshold. It saves a lot of time when setting times and thresholds, because you will only hear what’s being affected, and can adjust until you hear the problem area. Like, when I’m gating a kick to remove snare bleed, I’ll hit the solo, and adjust til I hear the snare and no kick beater hits.
