There literally thousands of companies present at NAMM and I would guess very
few of them actually something new to announce. This is one of the most major
music product shows of the entire world - with plenty of European and Asian
companies coming long distances to be there. The only company I can think of
that was not there was Apple. Does Neumann have new mics? or Waves new plugs? or
Cakewalk new features? There are plenty of little companies selling cables,
guitar strings, titanium guitar bridges, music magazines, etc with nothing new
at all.
What was the big announcement last year? Apogee compatibility? The actual
Apple booth barely mentioned that. There were training sessions each day run
almost continuously, plenty of computers and hands on stuff, etc - Just like there
was yesteday for many other products. This suggests that Logic is an
afterthought for Apple, now that they are "giving it away" for $500 with fairly few
new features.
In addition to seeing Everclear play live in Taylor's room, I saw the famous
bass player Victor Wooten playing from a few feet away.
