Masking tape is not cutting it anymore. It's too sticky. Post-it tape isn't as sticky as it use to be and tends to just come right off. I've seen people use blue tape, but I like white.

I think this product is designed for your specific purpose.

I even checked the Sweetwater catalog earlier today...

But 1" is great for mixers and some bigger gear. Would love to have a thin version of this stuff for smaller midi controllers.

I use those circular paper stickers in fluro colours

the classic sound engineer's tape is good old electrical tape.

I use these for my mixing desk (yeah I know there's more space on an average mixer than on on average controller)

They even come with strips of adhesive magnets to mount on non magnetic surfaces.... the beauty is that you can hook up your gear as you like, and just place the tagz accordingly...... no more rolls of tape for me

I print my labels on regular paper so I cna get the exact size and font I want (my handwriting sucks), then cut them out and use regular cellophane tape to apply. I find it doesn't leave a residue when you take it off.

It's called "paper tape" in industry-speak. They also come in 1/4 and 1/2 inch sizes. I use 1/4" for midi controllers.

I use it only on PA jobs...
use regular electrical tape which is available at every venue...
as for my own setup ...I know it by heart..

I just use a little label printer.

...oh and also paper with a piece of masking tape over it for certain stuff.

you might look into this..
