Winter NAMM 20112 wish list

 So the new year has came and its now January. January is one of my favorite months for two reasons. 1, Winter NAMM, and 2, CES. New studio gear and gadgets, one day I will have to attend both of these events. Here is 10 things I wish to see at NAMM this year.
  1. The Avalon 737 is one of my favorite channels strips. Its been years since Avalon has released anything new. Would love see some new gear from them.
  2. Same goes for Summit Audio. They were bought out a few years ago and said they would continue to build new gear. Well its been a few years so here’s to hoping we see something new soon.
  3. I’m pretty stocked on plugins from last year but if Softube, McDsp, or Sound Toys announces anything new I will be excited to check it out. Hey Sound Toys, if your reading this would be a good time drop juice!
  4. Dangerous has been one my favorite companies with products like the d-box, 2bus, and bax eq. Here’s hoping to see a compressor next.
  5. JDK audio has been putting out products every few years. In a short time they produced the R20, R22, R24, and V14. I hope the R26 is a channel strip.
  6. What ever happened to the Apogee Mic? Maybe we will see it at NAMM
  7. Speaking of Apogee I hope see an upgrade to the ensemble. Something to go between the Symphony and ensemble would be much appreciated.
  8. Geoffe Daking told me at Sweetwater’s Gearfest he was working on a new 500 series piece. Lets see it at NAMM!
  9. Dear SSL, I absolutely love the alpha link. Excellent converter. But everyone doesn’t need 24 channels. I hope they will announce an 8 or 16 channel converter based off the alphalink.
  10. I’ve never used a Vintech pre before but have heard great things about it. I want to see a the eq from the x73i shrunk to the 500 series format.


What do yal hope to see at NAMM?
