Well, we’re in the midst of day 3 here at Winter NAMM and just got back from the MSR booth — way down in Hall E among the majority of the musical instruments — and they’ve got some exciting innovations coming. In addition to their complete line of acoustical products for the brick-and-mortar studios, MSR also takes a tiered approach to working with studio owners — from mobile units to the project studio in your house — developing three separate lines of acoustical materials based on the studio owner’s space, project and needs. If you aren’t at the show, check them out online at www.msr-inc.com
Just got back from the East West press conference, where the company showed numerous new products that are either now shipping or will be by the end of this month. Jumping into the 64-bit world, East West, which celebrates 20 years in the biz this year, continues to lead the sound library market. Take for example its Quantum Leap “Forbidden Planet” sample-based synth and Goliath, sounds inspired by The Beatles in its “Fab Four Virtual Instruments” and so much more. If you’re at the show, I suggest playing around with their sounds and libraries at booth #6630.
Hi Rory — great to see you again! Well, we’re in hour 1 of the Winter NAMM show…what are you looking for?
Hi !! This is Rory Kaplan representing Intel
I always look forward to the NAMM show as technology has come a long way, and what I look for is how technology can make the creative process flow, rather than worry about what the stats are of a device.
I’m here because Intel’s Core 2 processors are the heart of what I do in creating and producing tracks or surround sound mixes. I’m looking forward to seeing what other companies are doing in the advacement of technology, and how it contributes to the creative content process.
