Anybody has advices or examples on how to install you MPC in your studio in a very conftable way.

I have a couple of piece of gear and im trying to place them all ergonomicaly but it's hard to find the right studio furniture for the MPC itself.

What piece of studio furniture you put your MPC on??à
Im also using my MPC with my computer because od Ak.sys so i have to get space for the computer screen at least.

I want the MPC to be at my hands height.
I also have a turntable that i have to keep close to my MPC and also 2 speakers to set up.

What's the best furniture setup you suggest for maximum confort.

Thanks again

Peace

Dom

www.musiciansfriend.com has some furniture, like the desk with build in racks sells pretty welll

As far as my MPC, I just brought another dual piano stand, and put my mpc on my adjustable piano stand, then I have a bar chair so I can sit right at its height or stand up

Works well for me

dudum i am liking that desk alot. $330 is pretty cheap too some of the studio furniture in samash catalogs looks like $50 wallmart crap but add some gear racks and they ask $800(!) and up for it. they must be really proud of their stuff.

hmm

I have my 4k on a phat mixer stand. Sits right at chest level when I'm sitting down and is angled (adjustable) also has 12u rack spaces in the legs. Fits perfect...it was like $50 or so...found one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... gory=23789
