Need help choosing synth rack!! :)

[XZit]

I need some buyers guide help on choosing a rack/keyboard stand/w.e. for my virus TI and my mackbook pro.

So it would obviously need a place for me to put my virus ti 61 key, and another place ontop for the labtop. I'm not sure what to do here.
I've seen plenty of two -tier keyboard racks, but I can't put the labtop on the top due to it just being two posts that the synth lays across on...


I was also thinking about maybe a small studio table-but nothing to big-big enough for the synth and the labtop.
I'm not sure what to do here/what to get.
I need like a combo synth rack/production station if that makes any sense--but space is somewhat limited and I can't get a huge table. lol




Any help appreciated!!!

First off, it's not a "labtop", it's a laptop.

Just get a piece of plywood and lay it across the top tier of a two tier stand. Then set your stuff on the plywood. If you need a front lip so it doesn't slide off, then get a length of L shaped aluminum channel from a hardware store and lay that across the front before you put the plywood (or paneling or whatever) there.

here's what i've done for my rack... as ugly and cheap as it can be. but it works.

Quicklok make small home studio desks. Maybe take a look there. You can check on a few online music store. I've seen a few at www.musiciansfriend.com.
Whether you buy or not, it might give an idea.

Hope this helps!

Wait, is this for live performance? Or just a studio setup?

for either one, any simple dual tier stand will work for you

VNV nation used a regular stand with a keyboard on the bottom, then a piece of wood on the top tier so the laptop could rest on top of it...

convenient, and frugal, rather than going all out and buying a specially made laptop/keyboard stand

btw-its for studio use.
