NAMM
It’s January… For the music and audio community that means one thing: The NAMM Show! This year, of course, instead of everyone meeting in Anaheim, CA we’re all taking part from home. And although NAMM 2021 feels very different, manufacturers from around the globe are announcing some fantastic new products this week. Guitars, synthesizers, studio gear, live and PA products – you name it, they’ve got it. And we’re glued to our computers 24/7, making sure you don’t miss a thing. Check out our rolling report below!
We’re also proud to have been asked by the guys at Bonedo – one of Europe’s biggest music gear websites – to host reaction videos to the latest NAMM news on their Guitar and Synthesizers YouTube channels. Want us to focus on your favourite products in one of our videos? Found a hot bit of news the music world hasn’t picked up on yet? Drop us a line to editor at gearnews dot com.
