"Buy The Software You Use"
IMSTA works to spread this message to as many people as possible worldwide. This slogan has been translated to many different languages and is used by our member companies in countries around the world. One of our primary missions is to change piracy behavi

or by educating consumers about the negative effects of software piracy. IMSTA hosts IMSTA FESTA throughout North America and other parts of the world. These one-day celebrations of music technology encourage the legal use of software and educate the end-users on the negative effects of software piracy. This is done via Professional Panels, Seminars/Workshops and Master classes plus company exhibits.

Keynote Speaker Spotlight: Manny Marroquin

The time being 2019, the speaker... none other than Manny Marroquin. With over 14 GRAMMYs to date, Manny has worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, The Weekend, Shakira and Linkin Park to name a few.

“A lot of mix engineers work at developing their own unique sound and that’s cool, but I choose to act as a chameleon of sorts by bringing the collective ideas of the producer, label, and artist to life for each individual project…" – Manny Marroquin

Avid Pro Tools Room - IMSTA FESTA London 2026

You really have to be on your P's and Q's manning the ProTools booth because you're going to have everyone from the novices to the seasoned veterans asking you a question you may never had before, or with a question that can be answered in several ways due to the flexibility of ProTools... this is after they finish drooling over the S1 Control surface of course!

Polyverse Room - IMSTA FESTA London 2026

The ambience and tone in this room was super relaxed, this maybe due to the fact only one of the floor lamps was turned on. Is this and engineer trick? It's not like the Polyverse Music plugins need any help in being interesting, it accomplishes that all on it's own.

Tom Elmhirst Keynote - IMSTA FESTA London 2026

A snippet from the Seventeen-time GRAMMY-winning mix engineer Tom Elmhirst delivered the keynote at IMSTA FESTA London on June 6.

Tom was informative, engaging, and refreshingly honest as he pulled back the curtain on topics that continue to challenge producers and engineers at every level.

In this clip, he addresses one of the most frequently asked questions in audio production: how he approaches EQ and compression in his mixes.

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience behind the console, Tom's practical approach cuts through the myths and focuses on what really matters: making better decisions in service of the music.

McDSP Room - IMSTA FESTA London 2026

I'm not sure if you're teaching a regular subject, so much people would be paying attention to the front of the class. This is not a regular software company with regular products, McDSP obviously commands attention.

You don't have a guitar? No problem, there's one at hand at the IK Multimedia room for you to go ahead and try out the Tonex pedal. IK are no strangers when it comes to making hardware or software, so are they making software to support the hardware, or hardware to physically control software? Either way, we're here for it!
