Besides the city itself I often take a day or two off to surf in Montauk with my studio partner, Bobby Lurie, and that’s always a fun and relaxing contrast to the show and the city. We love going to New York as you’ll see in the upcoming issue (#139). AES is really fun in a different way, especially since they’re recently skipped the west coast and are holding the show in NYC. I love to see the people I only see at NAMM and AES, like Doug Fearn, Geoff Daking, Dave Derr, Dave Amels, Tom Der, John LaGrou, the Josephson guys, Dan Kennedy, the Grace brothers, Greg Gualtieri, and Jonathan Little the list is endless. I usually stay a few extra days, visit, and hang out and surf. It was exhausting, and I left Anaheim pretty bummed out.īut I also love NAMM because I love to see Larry, Geoff, Scott, and Marsha and I love going down to Southern California in January, surfing, and seeing all my friends who live in L.A. Part of this was sitting through endless meetings with marketing people showing us audio interfaces that connected to computers while telling me that this new interface was a “game changer” since it now had Thunderbolt instead of FireWire – besides the new hole in the back, it was pretty much the same as the interface they’d showed me at last year’s NAMM Show. One year, I left NAMM pretty depressed, and feeling like everything we did was stupid, pointless, and really bad for the planet we live on. We want them to buy ads they want us to write about (review) the gear they make. We meet with our advertisers, who thankfully place ads in Tape Op allowing us to deliver the magazine to you every two months. Every year, for the last 20 years or so, Larry and I, along with Geoff, Scott, and Marsha (We miss you Andy, Dave, and Laura!) go to the NAMM Show in January in Anaheim (Orange County, California). The music industry trade shows, and the NAMM Show in particular, have always been a mixed bag for me.
