Slanting mixers...

What do you guys use, door steps?

Seriously, I'd like to know what to use to safely tilt my mixer...

Thanks!

Im currently using an old cd drive with a mouse wrist rest on it holding the mixer up and some blue tack at the front to stop it sliding off.

Its quite effective actually, mixer doesnt wobble or anything and its up at 25 - 30 degrees

I use the cases my ortofon needles came in.

They sell racks that are slanted for mixers.

Once i had it slanted with a block of wood and a matt under it to stop it from sliding. As far as my personal preference goes i dont like slanting faders, rotaries yea but i just dont like having faders on an angle.

+1

yea IMO they're harder to control on an angle

I built a little stand out of MDF, it has a decent angle on it, theres a lip at the bottom so it doesn't fall off. The main reason I built it wasn't for the angle, but because it was elevated I could shrink the footprint my mixer had on my desk as well as put things under it, like my headphones That helps a lot when it's a big mixer(DN-X1500).

i dunno about racks but i have a 19'' road ready case for my xone 92... its slanted about 20-30 degrees and mounted with the kit that came with the mixer. i like it much more than if it were flat but then again its a rotary....
