Anaheim, California, January 8, 2020 — Synthax, U.S. distributor of German interface manufacturer RME, Ferrofish advanced audio applications, myMix personal monitoring and mixing systems, Appsysdigital audio tools and Digigram broadcast audio systems, will host live product demos by top audio professionals and musicians every hour on the half-hour at its 2020 NAMM booth 14702. Appearances will include Hollywood film composer Adam Barber (pictured), guitar virtuoso Michael Angelo Batio, music producer and Chapman Stick artist Kevin Keith, Nashville producer Justine Blazer, guitarist JB Eckl, bassist Pancho Tomaselli and drummer Paul Alexander Gonzalez, as well as Synthax’s own Derek Badala and Pete Mac.
During the 20-minute sessions, each artist will guide listeners on how they use RME equipment and technology in their workflows — from live performance to studio recording and production. These educational presentations will serve as mini crash courses on how attendees can get the most out of their RME gear.
“We are excited to welcome a variety of talent to our NAMM booth once again this year,” said Derek Badala, Director of Sales, Americas for Synthax. “Whether it’s our class-leading TotalMix FX software or the new Babyface Pro FS USB interface, our NAMM artists will share their personal RME experience using these products and more while also walking listeners through their everyday workflow.”
