This year's AES 2012 was not just a good excuse to hang out for four days in one of our favorite cities, but was also a really great show.  We got to check out a lot of great new gear and see old friends.  If you were signed up to our Twitter feed, we were sending out live updates and photos from the floor.  This year there were many new products like the Slate Pro Audio Raven MTX Multitouch Audio Production Console, Radial Engineering's PS4 Cherry Picker and MS4 Gold Digger for auditioning mics and pre-amps, and Barefoot's new Mini Main 12, which are the speakers that were featured in the House of Rock install.  We also saw some new great products like the Grace Designs M905 monitor controller, BAE's 500 series 1073 Mic Pre Equalizer and the 10DC Dynamic Compressor, and many more.  It was a really great high energy show and we are looking forward to this year's NAMM in January.
