   The iRig Voice is more than simply a “handheld microphone for smartphone and tablets”, it is a remarkably diverse tool that can be used for work or for fun.

The Joyo DC-15 Guitar Amplifier has awesome features, including drum tracks to take your playing to the next level.

IK Multimedia makes a number of well-respected products for the pro-audio market, but has struck a chord, in a big way, by creating simple devices and apps for the iOS platform.    Their “i” line of hardware products allow musicians and music lovers to create, record and produce music on their iOS device in a way that is not intimidating, but also gives access to deep features.   They’ve come out with two new iOS products this year: the iRig Mic HD and the iRing.

Best Buy is welcoming Godin to its lineup of stringed instruments.

 If you are in the market for a stereo mixer that won’t colonize a lot of space then the Yamaha MG06X may be what you are looking for. Compact but with incredible power and features, small-scale live performers, DJs, or home studio producers can all benefit from this compact, portable, and well built mixer.

The Vox Amplug 2 series lets you practise anywhere, anytime, and with many different tonal options. I took the AC30 model for a spin; here's my review.

Mahalo offers affordable ukuleles that are great for beginners. I take a look at a single soprano model, as well as a bundle that includes everything you need to get started.

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.

Casio had some great presentations at the NAMM Believe in Music Week, highlighting some of their awesome keyboards.
