We get strange Jacob’s Ladder flashbacks every time our musician friends ask us if we’re going to NAMM, but then we realize they're talking about the National Association of Music Merchants show. Chock full of motorized automated faders and digitally controlled blinking lights, NAMM 2008 was a digital producer's nirvana.

(Note: To get the full experience of the NAMM show floor while you view this gallery, take every MP3 you own and play them simultaneously while banging on some drums.)

Above: Numark’s new iDJ2 complete mobile iPod mixer allows full control over all the music in your iPod -- including mixing, cueing, looping and even scratching. You can plug turntables, CD players, mikes and USB mass-storage devices (thumb drives, etc.) into it, to expand your mixing options.
