    Default How do you move your gear?

    I am planning to do live performances with like a full on keyboard, launchpad and stuff. How do you move this stuff?

    Carefully.

    Get flight cases or something similar.

    Travelling with your gear will put you in line to getting it f$%ed up.

    Look after it...you spent money on it.

    Get a really big bag to fit all your controllers and cables into
    The launchpad is strong and should be ok but the keyboard will be an issue...

    Wheels. I'm way over carrying everything in a backpack.

    Well how much stuff? What size? How far? I'm a one trip kind of guy, so I bought a hiking bag to fit all my gear in. I'd look at an option like that with a bag case of some sort for the keyboard. But that goes out the window if you are rocking 4 CDJs and the such.

    i used to use a flight case too when i was transporting my keyboard around. bloody heavy thing mind u... last week i picked up a UDG large producerbag and its fantastic. really well padded and has plenty of space for my D2's, X1, Z1, cables, headphones laptop etc... all the UDG bags seem pretty well made/padded. for a keyboard id probably stick with a hard flightcase tho my brother uses a soft/padded one for his

    Big fan of the mono bags too...
    As I have my night cap after carrying my gear home
    Wish they'd invent one of those Star Trek things to get stuff back in an instant.

    Wheels are a godsend for moving stuff, that and road cases. That's what they're designed to do. I would recommend a 4 wheel dolly/cart if you can stack things and a 2/wheel convertible one if you need the option of doing either or. It may seem a bit costly at first, but nothing costs more than fixing your back.
