Question of dust

Hey everyone...

I am just wondering what people do if anything about dust getting onto your equipment? I mean i know turntables come with dust covers (some dont ) but as for things like mixers...etc does anyone do anything such as wrap a sheet over the top or something?

Also if enough dust landed on a mixer would it cause it a heap of damage in the faders...etc?
I have just been thinking this due to the somewhat newness of my mixer and the amount of filthy dust around my house.

Cheers

i used the bubble wrap i got wiv my decks to make a dust cover, everytime im not using them i just throw this big sheet of bubble wrap over them, it keeps them relatively dust free

I pretty much dust everything daily or every other day. And I give my records a rubdown every time I throw one on the decks.

You know how old men are always walking around with Handkerchiefs in their pockets? Just waiting for the instant one might be needed?

That's me but with Swiffer sheets!

You have to take good care of your equipment. Dust sovers all round here too.

I dust my gear every couple of days. I also like to clean and lube my faders on a regular basis. I smoke alot so I have to live with the dust.
