NAMM Exhibitors Bring Solutions to The Business of Music
CEO Armen Nazarian (Rt)
Audigo Labs – Booth 5348
The Pocket-Sized Recording Studio for iPhone
With this wireless microphone, amp, and mobile studio AP you’re ready to make production-quality videos.
BackStage360 met with Founder and CEO Armen Nazarian and discussed the concept:
Q: With creators today looking for ever more mobile ways to make content what is it that your product excels at?
A: We want to get creators over the “share-abilty” threshold. We want them to make content that looks great and sounds great. Everything we built into our software is about ease of use.
Q: How does that little microphone perform so well?
A: A lot of engineering. We identified the need and built the product from the ground up.
Q:The AP supports stitching together multiple audio sources; you can do up to eight right?
A: Yeah, eventually we’ll be supporting up to 8 on one iPhone. Portability, cloud collaboration and subscription levels to meet any creator’s needs.
This product is Good to Go!
MAASTR – Booth 10835
World Class Mastering in Minutes Using AI
Submit your music for professional mastering with low fees and quick turnaround.
BackStage360 chatted with founder Jay Maas about his service:
Q: Can you buy software or is it only cloud-based?
A: Based on the fact we don’t want to get pirated we are currently only cloud-based.
Q: With the product being AI based how much control does the user/Submitter have over the final master?
A: We offer 9 different AI’s each with its own nuisance. The user can pick the feel for the music they are looking for.
Q: What is it that MAASTR does better than your competitors?
A: Based on user feedback we think it just sounds better.
GigZter – Booth 8307
Send invoices. Accept payments. Instant payouts.
Perfect for musicians and performers to run their business.
BackStage360 talked to Gerard Denny, Sales Development Manager, about GigZter and what they are doing for the folks in the performing arts:
Q: As a DJ I always dread the part of the night when I have to ask for payment. How does your product simplify that process?
A: It’s really easy. We can send a payment request to any mobile number, they’re email address
or you can also just present a QR code that your customer can scan.
Q: You have low processing fees…how does your fee structure compare to other services?
A: Typical is around 3%. Our fee is the lowest you can find at 1.5 %. Half market rates.
Additionally, we deposit those funds into our bank account immediately so it’s the fastest way to get your money.
Q: How Intuitive is the application? How fast can people learn it?
A: It’s dead simple. I can send a branded professional invoice in under a minute.
Simple, fast, and cheap. Now that’s the way to run a business successfully!
Many thanks to all the exhibitors that BackStage360 visited. The NAAM Show was and will continue to be the leading exhibition to showcase all the new innovations in the music industry.
