2025: MOTU skipping NAMM again? Will they ever be back?

Post by James Steele »

Got an email today from NAMM with the 2025 "NAMM Show Map." Just did a search... no MOTU:

They're still apparently taking reservations for booth space, but here it is almost October. It doesn't look good. Bummer... I hope it's not the end of an era. I really enjoyed seeing the demos at the MOTU booth.

If they don't get enough back to justify the cost, I can see why they might pause-- particularly if they don't have anything ready to show off.

Yeah... so that might lead one to believe that DP12 may not be just around the corner. If it would be ready in January, woudl they go then? I just find it a bummer is all. They haven't been back since the pandemic. Meanwhile, there are smaller developers/companies there. It's going to be too bad if MOTU's NAMM appearances are now history. :unicorn: :cry:
