NAMM has come ...and gone...
 
And the only significant thing from Cakewalk was Zeta for iOS....

Isn't everyone excited? 

Thinking with the recent deal with Gibson... they'd at least have a software box in the shape of a flying V.  Oh well... guess it's like Bo Didley's guitar... just a box.

I was hoping that Monster Cable was gonna change everything with some exciting new mic cables.
 
Oh well, back to the same old same old.

See what happens when NO ONE gives me a pass to NAMM?
 
All the good schlitz is saved for the next year I'm there.

yes the Bapu is a GAME CHANGER

I didn't see anything from NAMM that really excites me. I think their running out of altitude, airspeed, and ideas...

Too many choices. There's simply so much disposable stuff these days that it just becomes a wall of noise.
 
The only thing I've read about with interest is the new Stratocaster with wiring modules. Plug in pickups and the ability to mod the wiring configuration in seconds is pretty cool. Great for those with no technical chops, and no batteries required. Sorry Gibson, robot guitars are just silly.
 
Yet a few vendors are putting out products that are barely current, let alone cutting edge. I guess I'm getting jaded and picky. I'm buying less stuff and focusing on good quality.

PC Software wise they need one that goes to 11 to get attention, there is so much available these days. IOS stuff seems ta cause a buzz in a lot of quaters (along with a lot of derision here )
 
I notice Korg announced some controller keyboards, http://www.production-room.com/news-article/NAMM-2014-Korg-Taktile-Controllers
 
They look good until you see there are just 49 and 25 note options. Surely there has to be a market for a controller keyboard with longer that 61 notes with plenty of knobs and sliders that does not have fully weighted piano style keys. These days its all about protability over useability.
