I currently have a couple of gear bags (one backpack, one roller), and use them on different occasions and so I was basically thinking of how best to organize cables such that it's easy to get them to/from gigs and maintain some amount of order. It would be great to just be able to grab a bag with my cords & backups.
For reference, these are the cords I usually bring with me:
10ft 1/4 - RCA
2 x 3.5mm M - M
Audio 2
2 x 1/4 - RCA
2 x USB
2 x ipod
2 x XLR - XLR
Various adapters
I've come up with a couple of options but would love to hear what others think as I'm always for whatever works on the cheap.
Option 1: Grid It Organizer
These look great, and a lot of tech bloggers really like them. I use an Ipad in my setup and they make a combination sleeve/organizer that would work pretty well. Grippy.
Downsides: Price, limited space for lots of cables
Option 2: Small Packing Cubes
Loved by folks, mostly for packing clothing. Could be great for the traveling DJ as you can have one of these as a cable bag, and use the others for clothes.
Downsides: Price? (You get 3 in a set), have to buy in sets
What are some other solutions that you guys have come up with?
