Check out my review for the Hercules DJ Control Jogvision and P32 DJ Controller. They are both pro level DJ controllers and both offer a robust set of features along with great build quality. The Jogvision with its focus on core digital DJs, and the P32 with its 32 pads focused on a much more performance oriented DJ.

flowkey is an awesome platform to help you learn piano. It has multiple lessons and a massive song library.

In June of 2013, Roland announced a revamp of their popular CUBE line of guitar amplifiers. The CUBE line has been around since 1978 and has been the bread and butter of many practice and recording sessions. Randy Rhoads, Joe Walsh and Ritchie Kotzen are some of the artists who have used the amplifiers in the studio and on stage.   Roland has been a solid brand in the music industry for decades. The CUBE line of amplifiers has a great history and has served many guitarists well. Of all the smaller practice amps out there, I have to admit that the offerings from the CUBE line sure look cool. From what I heard from them at NAMM, they also SOUND great too.

For those wishing to capture up to two audio channels in a way that surpasses any other option, the DJI Mic set is a strong contender.

Casio's LK-S450 keyboard is a great choice for beginners and young players, thanks to its lighted keys that help with learning songs.

Yamaha's PSR-E373 is the newest version of a time-tested keyboard that offers many possibilities for beginners and casual players alike.

I’m a gear geek. I’ll admit it.   When I was asked to cover NAMM for Best Buy Canada, I was on cloud nine. The show was busy and we had a lot of appointments with vendors with a focus to get a first look at the exciting gear that Best Buy will be offering you.   Along the way, I HAD to take a look at the gear that I’d love to take home to my studio. Here are some of the products I saw that had me checking my bank account.
