Push and ergonomics

Post by tedlogan » Thu Oct 03, 2013 10:17 pm

DISCLAIMER: This could be trivial to most, but to me it makes quite the difference.

I usually work with Live at my desk, with a desktop PC and 2 screens. I've got all my gear arranged around this setup. My chair is quite high up, but I still find working Push from a normal (Push rested on the desk) perspective is not as relaxed and conducive to really forgetting about everything but you and your ideas and tools as Push half-sitting on my lap, half-resting on the desk, me leaning back into my chair ( a common office high-backed chair).

Here is a where Push might typically be situated

Here is where you sit back into your chair, with your back completely supported, and no part of your body tense at all. Of course you could always stand up, but I don't want to stand for hours, as I toy about with Push for hours on end. I'm using Push on an IKEA metal stand (£3.50), the top part placed on the desk, the bottom resting on my lap, with the majority spanning over my legs.

Sorry about the poor image quality, and to those seeking greater knowledge about music and the cosmos and life. I'm just curious about how people actually sit/stand/lie when they're using their Push controllers. Sometimes the tiniest shift in one life parameter changes a lot.

It would be really cool to have Push mounted on a swivel arm like the Cintiq 24HD.

Yes, that would be ideal.

Cintiq...please stop seeding potential seeds of gear lust - I'm happy with my Intuos 4 :D

I have one of these:

It mounts on the end of a swivelling desk mounted monitor arm, also from them.

The only problem is that it has a little bounce to it which makes it impossible to program drums. However, the arm I have has removable segments so if there is only a single arm segment and it's mounted on something solid, it's ok.

Stand, without a question.

I think it changes what I do and the kind of music I make.
