Mobile Gigs - What do you use for table/stand
For those who do mobile gigs with a VCI-100 and 2nd midi controller…what do you guys use as a stand or table. Seen this pretty cool odyssey one that looks like a big brief case and fold out to stand. Any other suggestions, when a regular fold out table just won’t cut it?
I have stuff to cover all options. I use a VCI 100 and 2 other midi controllers and a soundcard and laptop so you can see how tangly it can get switching between sets.
My mom can sew pretty well and I got her to make me a black vinyl casing for a foam pad I have. I use this to elevate my VCI+ Akai LPD8, and it looks more pro because it just doesnt look like a piece of pink foam anymore haha. I also bring spungy foam for both my VCI and midifighter so If I have to put my controllers on top of CDJ’s / Turntables I can do that route. I use an odyssey stand for my laptop with an option for clamps on the bottom so I can clamp the stand to a ledge if its available to save room.
anyone else? My issue is some gigs are coming up to play at high end stores in Miami and its not like a party where I can just throw down a table and people don’t care what the rig looks like as long as the music is good. Being down in Miami its ALL about the look. What do you guys recommend.
I use a keyboard stand with a piece of plywood and a black tablecloth. The plywood and tablecloth have holes cut in them so all my cables drop straight down to be run underneath, and the board is also cut with a curved front.
