Hey @WavesAudioLtd Bought CLA Epic. I’m blind and rely on presets being visible to Logic to be able to access them. It seems they were available for most plugins but not in Epic? Is this because of the new V12 presets browser? Is this something you’ll no longer be doing?

Stories from people like Simon, who can't always watch TV with his sons because so many programmes and films are not available with audio description.
"I feel like I'm missing out on those precious moments together."
