Posted on: 26.01.2011 by Gaynell Barralaga
Can anyone recommed a good stand that the feet would slide under the s4 unit, thus saving worktop space, any ideas guys on setup as i,m planning to have 2 x 1210 side by side it and have limited worktop space ie front to back

same goes here, I also have wider screen external monitor and it is really helpful while running multiple tools/programs at the same time while monitoring their processes

good thing I bought a crane stand for my laptop

I use an external monitor at home, cos 13" is fine for Traktor but 19" is better!

goes for many things in life

In terms of screen space, unless you were trying to run multiple programs at once, i.e: adding in ableton, a bigger screen would just mean a larger view of the program. I guess you technically would have bigger waveforms, etc, but in the end it wouldn't make that big of a difference.

Just a question to throw in. But does anyone use a stand at home that holds the laptop and a larger monitor next to it to have a Windows (or Mac) extended desktop?

I mean, I come from a programming background and am looking to get into mixing music too and I notice a lot of people using just a laptop at home. But there is an easy way to add a monitor to a laptop and have basically over double amount of screen space. Almost all good programmers work that way and I was wondering, would it help out with mixing to to have more screen space?

Something like this

If not all of the device, then at least the top controls. In the case of the S4, this is the gains, effects knobs, or top EQ controls.

The crane being able to do a Z shape helps some, since I can kind of put the laptop at an angle over part of the S4.

Also not to hijack but what feet do you have under your S4?

Thanks for the insides on these two, Tarekith!

I know that I will, or will not, be saving up for.

I don't put my Laptop in front of me but on the side otherwise it is blocking my view to the dancefloor.

Yes i agree, that crane stand being able to adjust to a Z shape is a real bonus. I also found that some of the other stands blocked the top controls of the S4.

Interesting, i like the feet idea Tarekith, might look into that. I would still rather find a laptop stand that has a super flat base so it will slide under the S4. I'll keep hunting! There's got to be one out there.
I seem to be remember seeing a video by a guy from crane showing it sliding under a mixer, i'll have to look into that because that looked perfect.

I use these feet for all my gear, raises the back of the S4 up a little so you get a nice angle:

Think already mentioned in an other thread for you, crane will not fit under your s4 without hightening the s4 their feet

no offence to Ean's review, but he is running a business and of course he will speak very highly of the crane stand because he wants people to buy it
