Wing base mixer ramp & lap top stand review part 1

0:01 I'd like to show you this unit here

Right folks, I'd like to show you this unit here. It's from a company called Protech Metalwork Limited. It's known as a wing-based mixer ramp and laptop stand. So that there is basically where you're going to put your mixer and guess what? You put your laptop there. Now, I mean, I'm no expert but that there is presumably for cables so in other words they don't have to be dangling all over the side there. They can just neatly sit in that groove and go down the back. Alright you've got a whole bunch of holes, what are they for? Well of course virtually every single laptop, most laptops have got fans in them and most of the fans are on the underside so what will happen is of course you've got an area where you can draw cool air from underneath the unit, from underneath your laptop therefore keeping it nice and cool. That there is to put your microphone.

1:38 We've got a slight angle there as well which is pretty cool

Small hole so you can keep the lead on the microphone basically, just slide it through, sit it down there and that there is for your headphones. So what I'm going to do now is just pull the camera back. And Ryan in the background is playing FIFA 09, Ryan, yeah? Are you winning? What's your score? 6-2. Who are you playing? No idea, never heard of them. Are they in the Division 1? Just as mad as me, marvellous. Right, OK. Winged. Because it's got wings, now I'm going to get the mixer and put that there like that. Okay, we've got a slight angle there as well which is pretty cool. And I'm going to put my laptop on there like that. Alright, to be quite honest there's not really much you can say about a particular unit like this because what you're looking at now is near enough all you need to know.

And you'll notice I've got a couple of these guys here. These are the Denon DNS-1200s. The reason I've got those is because if I take that off there, you can set these on the top, which is quite neat. Now, admittedly, this stand isn't for turntables for CD players and also, I'll be honest with you, when you've got your hand here at this point, You know, you're almost touching the other turntable, but I suppose if you're short of space, you could always stick it on the roof or something like that. But it's just showing you another idea, in a sense, of how to use it. I mean quite often I find items like this, or anything really, what you tend to find is there'll be a specific use for it, but you've just got to open your mind and think well, how else can I use it? What can you use it for?

I mean, you're not going to use it as a surfboard or you're not going to start cutting carrots on it, but just think about it. Right, microphone in there. Headphones on there. Mixer back on there. Laptop back on there. Like that. There you go. Alright, video number one on this guy here. It's from Pro-Tech Metalwork Limited and I will be using this in the near future. By the way, if you want to know as well, that's Trek to Scratch Pro. And at the moment I'm doing, well I have done quite a few videos on it and I'm going to try and do a whole bunch more. By the way if you have got Traktor then let's see some of your demos and tutorials as well. Or like Ryan said or if you're on a farm then we'd like to see your Traktors. Thank you Ryan, see, runs in the family.

And also maybe you've got your own sort of deck stand of some description, then let's have a look at it. Do a bit of a demo, let's see what yours is like and how you can utilise it in different ways etc. So I'll say practice and enjoy.
