Another Saros preview from NAMM. Release date is circa the end of summer.

You're probably saturated with reports & reviews of the 2019 Winter NAMM but here's a nice overview from KVR that's not mono-focused on just guitars or synths or something else. https://www.kvraudio.com/focus/winter-namm-2019-show-report-44260

Just wanted to wish the whole Cakewalk and Bandlab group well wishes for a great NAMM show. Go break a leg😉

I used an RME UFX for last 10 years or so and it was always rock solid. I have had an a UAD card since they were released. I recently got an Apollo x4 on Windows and really got into the unison preamps, console app (though RME TotalMix is far more flexible), and the whole UA interface. I thought I’d keep my RME UFX to track natively low latency, but I get 32 samples on the x4 with no issues and then didn’t seem the need to keep the RME which I sold last week (and felt bad letting it go!) I do need a few more inputs so will wait to see if anything is announced at NAMM and get additional UA interface next month. They are all cool tools for sure. RME does drivers right no doubt.

Hi folks, We're looking for some cool content to showcase at NAMM. Please link any of your music if you have potential submissions you would like to share in this thread. Thanks!

First of all, kudos on a great job with the new website/forum. It took me a bit to get to how you insert a picture on the avatar, but I finally figured it out. Second-I saw in Meng's announcement/introduction to the forum that Bandlab will have a booth at the upcoming NAMM show. Does this mean that some new products pertaining to Cakewalk (ie, new DAW's, plugins, hardware etc.) are on the horizon? 😀John B.

I've always wondered if "age-related" hearing loss isn't just nature's defense against our noisy world. We now know that it isn't really age-related at all, e.g. the hearing acuity of an 80-year-old from a remote tribe in the Amazon is as sensitive as that of a young child in urban America. In a 2008 talk by a hearing specialist at NAMM, they said that current teens have the hearing sensitivity of a 50-year-old fifty years ago. They chalked it up to in-ears at high volume for long hours. And predicted that by the time today's teenagers are in their 50's, hearing impairment will have become epidemic and a major health crisis. They also noted that one of the worst occupations for hearing loss, those who lose their hearing faster than average, was mix engineers. That hit hard for the audience, who were mostly mix and mastering engineers. They didn't have to include performing musicians. We already know we're screwed.

Spent some time with Mike Balzarini (great guy!) at the Cakewalk section of the BandLab booth (Noel was out walking around at the time). Walked away from this experience feeling really confident that Cakewalk is here to stay long-term. And while the Cakewalk section was moderate, it was given a key location, right out front at the BandLab booth. And it was staffed! The overall BandLab booth was first rate. Large. High profile location. And with quite an impressive array of components. Best Cakewalk presence since...well...pre-Roland Era!

Meeting Noel in an hour along with Daryl.
