There does seem to be very little to come out of NAAM 2009 for the Pro Tools user and even less of interest for the media Pro Tools user.
Scott Church has done a round up on his blog and highlights some new keyboards from M-Audio, the new Waves Maserati Collection, and the new Ableton Live 8. The keyboards and Ableton could only be treated as related products and the Waves plug-ins are specialist and ‘different’.
I have been aware that McDSP have announced a Retro Pack bundle of plug-ins and the only post related thing to come from this show as far as I can see is a new product from a new company set up by Joe Bull who was a leading light in Sadie before they collapsed. Joe’s new company called JoeCo has released The Blackbox Recorder that is capable of recording 24 tracks of 24bit/96kHz audio directly to yourUSB2 drive.
I wonder if all of this is a minor blip or a sign of development slowing up?

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
