    you should get used to different heights, when you go to play at a rave the decks could be any height

    thats a good point mate seen some clubs have them up around your ears but in all seroiusnus does it help mixing if they are elevated up higher than the waist

    My desktop is 1m high (3' 4" ish or belly button height to be precise) now, so the platters and mixer top are another 4 or 5 inches on top of that.
    I'm about 6'2" and used to get backache when I had the decks lower, stooping over them all the time, but that's not an issue for me now they're higher.
    I do find it harder scratching now they're higher tho, moving the xfader seems cramped after learning to scratch with my elbow above the wrist and not being able to do that now they're higher.

    THATS WHAT I FIND WHEN ON A HIGHER STAND.

    I LIKE TO STAND UP STRAIGHT AND HAVE THE X-FADER AND DEX AT ARMS LENGTH TBH.

    NO NEED TO HAVE THE X-FADER AND WHEELS UNDER YA NOSE.... KILLS THE VIBES OF MIXIN FOR ME......

    I WILL SAY THE DEX COULD BE HIGHER. BUT NOT THE MIXER.....................

    I GOT A SWEET PLAN DRAWN UP FOR RR HQ STUDIO

    Belly button height. Also dont like em to low as I tend to lean over & end up getting a bad back.
