NAMM 2010

How on earth could you say NAMM is technically free??

With an endorsement from a company that will be present at NAMM, it's technically free.

To the endorsee maybe; but it costs the company in various other ways.

I was going to go this year, but I have way to much work and I cant pass up the money right now. Sucks I really would have liked to hung out with some sneapsters there, and just get to experience Namm for the first time!

Yea I'm curious as well if Digi is going to release anything new.

Only if you are a manufacturer.... Tickets are given out to dealers, wholesalers, retailers, etc. just to go and see the manufactures stands. That's the whole point of NAMM Unless you mean by having to pay for plane tickets, hotel, an all that.

Anyhow, let's talk about what's coming up for BEHRINGER at NAMM 2010, without giving away TOO much:
• First and most importantly, we'll debut 50 NEW products! All will be available in the flesh and with knobs ready-to-tweak!
• We have a A MONSTROUS announcement that will be the biggest surprise disclosure in BEHRINGER's history. It will be more surprising than the endings to "The Crying Game" and "The 6th Sense" combined. You cannot possibly guess, but are free to try.
• Performances and demos from some true A-list talent, including long-haul career legacy artists and rising stars who are rapidly becoming top players in their genres. We will release more information on the "who's who" as the date draws nearer. Special thanks goes out to new Artist Relations manager Dave Hooper and his little black book of rockstar's cell numbers.
• A brand-spankin' new, larger NAMM booth, sporting a soundproof chamber to keep the NAMM decibel cops at bay, and a complete aesthetic overhaul in line with our new "Imagine Music" campaign.
• Punch and pie.

I hope they don't release the reamp-box I suggested as a joke a while back... Actually exactly one year ago!

[Aaron Smith]

Anyone going to the Between The Buried And Me/Devin Townsend/Cynic show in Hollywood on the 17th?

Tickets to the NAMM show are generally free to the people who end up with them (AKA non-owners of companies; Guitar Center/other industry employees, endorsees of products, etc.) If someone has extras or just doesn't want to go, I'll buy them basically whatever the hell they want for lunch, but I'm not going to pay for a free ticket.
