Les Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 As above, at the minute I'm using masking tape and a marker pen but there are little white spaces on each channel for writing on I assume but I don't want to permanently mark them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 White electrical tape and a sharpie. Also very useful for putting across the travel of the faders to stop anyone pushing it up when you are not looking (as has happened at weddings etc. where a drunk 'expert' tries to 'help' with the sound). You can also use low tack artists tape, but, given that when the electrical tape comes off, another bit goes over it - I don't worry about the slightly sticky residue it can leave. You get a great contrast with black on white, and I find in low light it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTypeV4 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've seen little magnetic strips available on ebay.. it might be a slightly expensive solution but prevents any mark or damage to your console plus it's easily re-configurable. If it's a digital desk you can probably name the channels (as per my 328XD) and/or put symbols (a la LS-9) of whats where.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Depends how many channels you use and depends on how many bands get to use it..?? Most consistent users have a system and would use the same channels anyway..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike257 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 White LX tape and a Sharpie here too. Even on an LS9! The decent stuff is easily removable and leaves little to no residue behind. Awfully fond of the "scribble strip" LCD screens increasingly found on new digital desks though. Much more elegant solution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 We use a label writer. Once you have worked out how many letters per channel its a doddle. Looks good to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Vincent Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Blood. Or a whiteboard marker pen is removeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I just used pencil cos that's all I had at the time and it's stayed like that. I suppose I should really make a more preffesional job of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Even though the scribble strips on digital desks are cool, the masking tape solution is far quicker! But yeah, the A&H scribble strips, I love them. As long as you don't require to change them every gig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have long magnetic rubber strip with printed self adhesive labels (and blank ones on spare channels). Thing is I have different strips set up for different bands (one ceilidh, one rock - so very different line ups), so trivial to swap over.
