Re: Racks (Re: Yet another beginner..)

[Tim Nelson <tnelson@metrocast.net>]

If you play exclusively at home, there are several types of home studio
racks available that are basically a lightweight frame supporting a couple
of rack rails.

However, if you play out at all, or wish to be able to move the equipment
easily without tearing it down, you can't beat a mixer rack. Go for one
that's a bit more spacious than you currently need; you'll always find
*just one more piece* to put in there, and it's easier to buy one that can
accommodate than to replace the whole rack. The kind of rack where the
mixer can tilt up into position at the top of a regular rack is great
because you can leave everything hooked up. Instant setup. Carpeting and
wheels; durable and mobile.
