My 2014 NAMM Show Report
is now posted.
Here's the direct link to the report (PDF): http://mikeriversaudio.files.wordpre...how_report.pdf Visit the Trade Show Reports section of my web page for other shows: http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com...-show-reports/ By the way, lately when I go to my own web page, I see a block with a note saying something about how your readers may see an occasional ad here. I guess I don't get to see the ads because it knows I'm the site owner, but I'm curious as to what they're sticking in there. If you see an ad, particularly one that's either really appropriate or really inappropriate, let me know what it is. I don't solicit ads so whatever is there gets put there by Wordpress in exchange for their free site hosting and a site building tool that's easy enough for even me to use. -- For a good time, visit http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

My 2014 NAMM Show Report
It wasn't easy, but I finally stumbled across the meaning of it: NAMM -

Most people around here know what the NAMM show is, and don't really care what the acronym stands for. Do you feel better now? Several years ago, they tried to change things, but culture wouldn't have any part of it. The name of the organization didn't change from NAMM, but instead of "The NAMM Show" they wanted it called "The International Music Marketplace." It didn't get any traction, and now you can go to http://www.thenammshow.com and read about the show, and find a link to the organization. They have a really cool museum, too. -- For a good time, visit http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

That's a good boy! Now, milk and cookies and off to bed with you! OK, so you have turned nasty again. As I said, not only is the acronym not defined in Mike's most excellent report, but it is hard to find in Google. The first site listed is the Swee****er one, that talks all about the NAMM show without telling us what it is. I just had to assume North American Music Makers or some such. It WAS defined in the next one, http://www.namm.org/about if you click on a small print "About" in a bar above the picture. Sorry I am not as familiar with NAMM as the rest of the group.

Well, now I know, but I wouldn't expect that everyone is born knowing all about a music merchants' organization. Suggest putting a sentence or two at the beginning to explain to us non merchants, along with that link. Gary |

Gary Because you are too precious, too importnat, too lazy, or too stupid to run a Google search, Gary? I mean WTF, we're here to be your servants? I doubt that'll play well in the saloon. ' Via history here we don't mind assuming most folks who show up have professional recording and/or music production experience, or that they are keen students looking for pointers, or that they are at least sufficiently motivated to look up the meaning of a word or acronym. How many of those have you now failed? -- shut up and play your guitar * HankAlrich.Com HankandShaidriMusic.Com YouTube.Com/WalkinayMusic |

I used to put a little bit about NAMM in the intro to my reports, but I've neglected it recently because it's just one of those "Everyone knows that" things - at least everyone who's sufficiently interested in new music and audio gear being introduced to the marketplace. A lot of people in pro audio don't know what AES is (some know what it stands for but don't know what the organization does except put on a show for gear lusters). I don't know what CEDIA stands for, but I know what they have at their shows. I used to do work for NCTA (National Council of Traditional Arts). Nobody asked what I was doing for the National Cable Television Association or North Carolina Technology Association. It's jargon, just like "mic" or "CD" (not a financial product) If you care, you can find out easily. If you just want to criticize, do it with your wallet. Contribute $1,000 to my "Send Mike To The NAMM Show" fund and I'll be happy to write a paragraph about the organization for you. -- For a good time, visit http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

Sorry Mike, I intended that not as "criticism" but just friendly chatter between writers. I think I came up against this once before, and I finally found it, but the NAMM acronym, or initialism, or whatever it is called, is not one of those familiar to all. My point was not to criticize you for the standard not defining your terms thing but to point out that even a Google search doesn't reveal this one very easily, because everyone else assumes we know what it is too! So instead of the words blazing across the top of the organization's web site, it just says NAMM, believe in music. I finally found the little "About" up above there and they tell us what it is in that paragraph. So if someone could tell Hank that I did Google it, which was the point of my post, maybe he could face the day fresh. And yes, I think someone should send you to these conventions. I can't believe you aren't writing for some magazine and getting paid or in free or transportation or something. I wrote about the INFOcomm for TPV a while back. Google them up, Hank. Gary |
