Did you get the chance to test several, and why did the chosen one serve you the best? Be honest: how many of you 3D printed a beer holder? šŸ» ![Case Closed! Jesse Chuku as Judge](https://static.klipy.com/ii/c3a19a0b747a76e98651f2b9a3cca5ff/8d/2f/MrBUMXPO.webp) ---

I got the Scott Dixon one for mine: [Waves LV1 Classic Flight Case - Scott Dixon](https://scottdixoninc.com/flight-cases/mixers/waves-lv1-classic-mixer-flight-case/) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/waves/original/2X/4/4dc669167fae755080f9894430a51e29ab1a192f.jpeg) Ended up just getting plain black, but was very tempted by the green. Thereā€™s enough gap in the foam to fit power cables and a mini PC too. Donā€™t ask what I put the IONICs in šŸ˜ƒ They wonā€™t survive an actual flight, but are fine for road trips. ---

Custom case ā€“ old photos. Both arms are permanently attached to the case. I just fold them back behind the desk. It takes two people to set up the mixer like this, but once itā€™s in place, the whole setup takes only about 5 minutes: connecting the power, DMX and Cat5 cables. Everything I need is in the case, except for my laptop. ![IMG_20250422_204030](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/waves/original/2X/2/291cc238e39bd930f020279a22a235a4498abb2d.jpeg) ![IMG_20250422_203842](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/waves/original/2X/3/35278b8c182df6aab622f02aaad8ea8b85956f5d.jpeg) ![IMG_20251101_012553](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/waves/original/2X/8/860ee0914299be218244457e9e498bc9f25e4707.jpeg) ---

> [@dhhanackabrest](#): > > Custom case ā€¦ You donā€™t have (and are willing to share) the diagrams for this, by any chance? Itā€™s basically exactly what I had in mind for if/when I get to travel ā€œproperlyā€, and couldnā€™t find anything like it. I especially love how the clip on the bottom part holds the top in place. Nicely done! ---

Unfortunately, I donā€™t have any diagrams for it. Both arms are standard laptop/monitor mounts (around ā‚¬20 each) that I bolted directly to the case. Itā€™s not an exact copy of the Santosom case, but it was definitely inspired by that design. One extra feature is a pull-out drawer with a keyboard for the PC/LV1 Classic. Originally, I wanted to integrate a FIT controller to get more faders, but for now, the current setup is enough for me. I rarely use the keyboard, but itā€™s really convenient when editing or typing ā€” I donā€™t have to use the on-screen keyboard. The downside is that the case is a bit taller because of the drawer. If I put it on a standard table, the mixer would sit quite high. For gigs where I sit behind the mixer, I use a smaller road case as a base and place the upper part of the mixer setup on top of it. The height of this setup is designed around my own height, as I usually stand behind the mixer. That also means thereā€™s more space in the doghouse behind the mixer. Glad you like the design! šŸ™‚ ![671232213_26970405215900702_2936223693444029673_n](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/waves/original/2X/7/72887d6d4a986f7e18f68345e64427986c281d31.jpeg) ---

Looks great! Did you already replace Reaper with Tracks? šŸ™ƒ ---

Iā€™ve downloaded and set up Track [Live](https://www.waves.com/bundles/live?utm_source=forum) 2 for now, but unfortunately, my USB-C adapter seems to be causing issues with the LV1C. To be on the safe side, Iā€™ve disabled recording because I donā€™t want to risk any audio artifacts during a [live](https://www.waves.com/bundles/live?utm_source=forum) show. Iā€™ll test it more thoroughly once I have a rehearsal with the band.
