Sounds Expo 2007 - Show Report - Music Technology

Arbiter made it's biggest ever presence at Sounds Expo 2007, with individual focused areas for XLN Audio, Celemony, CME and Arturia, no less than three areas for Native Instruments (DJ, Guitar and Instruments) and a large Steinberg seminar area. Held at London's Kensington Olympia, the exhibition pulled enthusiastic crowds who were keen to see and discuss the latest developments in the music technology and DJ worlds. The whole Arbiter team had an enjoyable three days, so thanks to everyone we met and everyone who attended our demos and seminars. We look forward to meeting you again at next years show!
