There are a lot of new releases here, so I’m able to plan what my purchases will be over the next few months. As I open a new studio where I will be able to record midsize orchestras, my goal is to improve the quality of my sound. The technology I’ve found here is going to help me do all that.” “Since we’re a new business, developing it for the past year, getting to the NAMM Show and getting our product marketed will be the most exciting thing and this is like the threshold of the future for us.” Ken Irish AmpTopper Products Asheville, North Carolina Staci Brauns Ingram and Brauns Music Shoppe Modesto, California “We started a new store three years ago and we’re just at the turning point where we’re starting to show a profit.

Our goal is to see that happen and have a solid base so we can decide if we’re going to expand from there or stay where we are.” 10 PLAYback
