not necessarily, have the table top in sections, one section devoted to each turntable, and then one for the mixer, sure you'll have Gaps in between each section thats unavoidable, but when you want to change mixers, of a different size, just replace that one part of the table top, same thing for the turntables, what you could even do, is have the three sections of the table top on hinges...so the table top swings up, like the hood of a car.

sweet work Aled, i just wouldnt like it against a wall like that, but its up to you dude, Sweet damn setup

or just make it 19" and throw some rack rails on it. most high end mixers are 19" or have rack ears as an option. or if you are going through all the trouble of building this contraption, im sure fabricating some custom rack ears wouldnt kill ya.

easy solution...put wooden spacers in.

seen setups with em, and it doesnt look good, this is a damn sweet setup, wooden spacers would look sloppy and out of place.

Um, you don't really want to mix up against a wall, do you? Create a space for a desk that looks onto the studio space for mixing, that way, if you have friends round you can mix for them.

And you're gonna want your pissed up mates stumbling around in a room with your production pc and synths etc in?

It's a studio, not a club.

I've worked in studios for 13 years, trust me, you don't want to mix to a wall. What makes you the expert anyway? 90% of the music in the world is created under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or haven't you been involved in the industry for very long?

Agreed, try to keep it off the wall if you have the option. I'm against a wall now but i'm moving soon and the first thing i want to dois getoff the wall. Also it will allow you to get some distance between you and your monitors. Near field is one thing but it will sound better and give you more options for speaker placment to get the sound just right.

Just my opinion chap, if you've got experience that goes against that then fair enough.

Tbh my main objection was that his reason for having decks facing away from the wall was so that he could just mix to his mates when they come round - studio priorities should definitely come first, although if you say the requirements for both coincide then that solves that problem!

No need to turn every disagreement into an argument about "who's been doing it longer"
