The spotlight shines on the NAMM 2026 event, with coverage from sources like Celemony detailing key highlights from the show floor. Alongside event news, leading developers are releasing powerful creative software. Universal Audio showcases a method for polishing demo vocals exclusively with its UAD Spark plugin suite, available through an annual subscription.
