2024 could be a good year for portable music making devices. (If you include the backend of 2023 
)

Funny how themes will emerge from shows without a coordination between companies. Last Superbooth was performance mixers ( and other stuff ).

My post on that. The first example also involved shows, though i don’t think i mentioned it. I’ve also posted about the secret hidden sides of trade shows, which is sometimes the more important part of a show.
ADDED : An example of a secret side to this NAMM might be : ASM / Medeli and Korg after hours discussing future possible collaborations.

More private meetings possible :
I imagine a few people might be interested to talk with decision makers at Melbourne Instruments for obvious reasons.
If there are decision makers from Modal at the show, there is probably a few who might have ideas to discuss with them.
Another is Expressive E if they are in the slightest interested. They might not be.
Oh, and you might want to look over your shoulder, 'cuz Music Tribe is in attendence.

Another part of a show like NAMM that I like. I counted 172 separate musical performances as a part of this show. I know there are others not listed like Cuckoo and Jade Wii, and unlisted performers elsewhere, a lot of whom, hoping it’s all, are getting paid well. And on top of getting paid for the gig, there is the chance to meet people for more paid work later.
I know companies like Yamaha hire performers as representatives, and other companies do similar.
Spread our money around.

Guessing these will be shown - Mackie launch DLZ Creator XS, ProFXv3+ & MobileMix
This could be of interest to those into really compact mixers -

No usb out on this mobilemix, which struck me as odd.
All five will be shown, almost for sure, the MobleMix is the last, so it may be at a final production test run kind of level. They obviously had these well underway when Rode purchased them, so Mackie was expanding their product line going into the sale.

Any new mixer multitrack audio interfaces on the horizon? Like a Tascam Model 8 with all stereo tracks, or a Roland MX-2, how about a Korg Zero 8 rev 2 usb-c “functional edition” (the mixer of my dreams)?

That new little rhythm box sounds good actually !
I was expecting cheesy. I could practice with that. Another battery device for this year’s theme.
It’s $120 USD.
