Difference between helix rack and floor.
For example preferring to keep helix floor on their desk or music stand for editing i know i know there s an editor but wanted the option to control it with their feet in the studio.

I like the idea of having a v small footprint at the front of the stage the rack can be tucked out of the way wherever.
Join paul hindmarsh as he discuss.
