I have an INCASE bag that is serving me very well. If you are familiar with your local MAC store it would be the large black $129.99 model. My MacbookPro is nice and safe, it has a ton of different sized pockets for cables and what not. I also have a smaller version for when I am just going to class or to jam at my buddies. Heres the URL

Also don't forget to check out TurnTable Lab. If your not getting an INCASE bag you will find one at the LAB.

I LOVE my DC/Skate Incase bag I have had this bag for over a year and it has held up great. I can put everything in there also. I am a digital dj and it hold my computer, audio interface, external hard drive, headphones, ALL cables, extra adapters, cds, laptop stand, ipod and my large 35mm camera and flash.I never once thought the straps would break either. Tons of pockets and very water resistant shell. The orange lining really lets you see in the dark better as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Thanks for those great suggestions guys!

i'm very happy with my m-audio gig bag. good for one laptop and one midi-keyboard / -controller.

The Axio Fuse is my backpack of choice. Why? Because I can fit my 15" MacBook Pro and 13" MacBook + Traktor Records, soundcard & cables and everything else I need for my Ableton Live/Traktor Set. And it distributes the weight beautifully so it doesn't feel as heavy as it actually is.

Haha. I didn't see that I'd already been quoted in the post.

I got the Burton DJ Bag, it fits everything I could possibly need, 15.4" Laptop, Vestax VCI-100 mixer, M-Audio Trigger Finger, Audio 8 DJ interface, multiple cables and adapters, and my external hard drive.

I can back up the Burton bag recommend. I have had several and though they sit a little strangely on the back all the pockets and space is great!

the hardshell backpacks from boblbee (www.boblbee.com) are comfortable and indestructible. i've had mine for just under 8 years and have taken it around the world. it's even comfortable to sleep on. these bags have a laptop pocket (fits up to 17") and several flattish pockets on the inside for a passport or a cd or two, so most of the volume inside bag is open. this works if you wrap your cables properly and protect components from rub. for a compact digital rig these bags pretty ideal, assuming you controller fits.

For the Xponent the best option is the Gator GK-LT-25W. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/GKLT25W

The Xponent Torq forum users love it, as do I.

Hey y'all:

Does anyone know of a great gig bag for the M-Audio Xponent? The controller is too big for any bag I own, and M-Audio is not yet making a dedicated gig back (that I know of) for it. Cheers!

I've been using this Mac Case for a while now to carry by Macbook Pro 15", and it does the job. The bag fits very comfortable on my back, the straps are cushioned and never bother me. It comes with side mesh-elastic pockets that are great for fitting a gatorade bottle/water bottle. The bag comes with a sleeve for the laptop, and the main pocket is large enough to stuff the laptop and a few books or a controller like the Vestax VCI-100 (although I wouldn't carry mine in there). And then the front pocket, it's got pockets galore. About three nylon pockets and four mesh elastic pockets. It's got this cool feature, like a doggy door for cables. Essentially, you can stick an ipod in one of the pockets, and then bring the headphone cable threw the door/hole and drag them to your ears. I've had the bag full as can be with my laptop and books, and no problems on comfort. The price is rather low too, I only paid $70…

what is the bag pictured?

hello all,

i have a pretty neat bag that came with my Dell Xps Laptop. It has 3 seperate sotrage spaces. The first storage space has a sleve to put my laptop into. I also put my power brick in that sotrage area as well.

the second storage space holds my sound card which is a motu ultralite. i also house all of my firewire and power adapter in this space as well.

the third storage compartment holds my vci 100. and all ncessary wirings for it.

there is also a 4th storage compartment ( smaller rectangular storage on the bottom of the backpack that houses my denon headphones.

there are also two side pockets as well in which i put my mouse / screen cleaners / extra rca wires and 1/4 wires in there.

this is really a neat backpack, as it also has a carry handle.

heres a pic of the one i have again theres 3 seperate compartments to fit everything you need. a 4th smaller one on outside, and two on the sides.

Please check out the Big Namba Studio Backpack from Namba Gear. It has a semi-rigid construction using high-performance materials and will hold a 17" laptop as well as M-Audio's Exponent or Axiom25. In fact, M-Audio was endorsing this backpack on their website as an upgrade for the Axiom25 during the holidays. It comes with a cable management system too. Check out the "stuff a Big Namba" video at:

This is the largest backpack you can get that will still legally fit in the overhead bin of a plane. You can see what controllers will fit inside a Big Namba in this blog article:

I have had a Headliner Roadpack plus in black.  I have had this bag for less than a year and it has ripped seams in two places.  One is the front and another is on the sidepocket which allows change or usb sticks to fall out now.  it hasnt affected my overall use of the bag becasus I keep a CD case in the side pocket When I emailed the company my emails all bounced back.  Wierd.

I would consider myself a moderate user.  1-3 gigs a week and have travelled via air with the bag about 10 times in the last year.  I like the features of the bag it.  Of course holds all the basics for a vinyl serato (laptop, serato box w cables, headphones, some vinyl, needles) but also I like the side pockets, easily accesible front area, and it stands up on its own.  I chose the larger bag due to the middle compartment.  It comes with a removable travel sleeve to hold a controller or whatever you can think of.  I have fit a pioneer 600 mixer inside the comparment.  I dont really use the travel sleeve.  the compartment allows me to travel for overnight gigs without having to bring an extra bag, and comes in handy for a jacket or extra equip.  I can throw a change of clothes and some toiletries there or the side pocket.  The bag does look pretty huge when loaded up with all that stuff and I have gotten a few comments on its size.  if you find yourself needing extra space or carrying two bags then i would consider this bag.  Overall a good bag but was hoping for longer lasting seams especially with the price tag.

Prior to that I used the Stussy x turntable lab bag which lasted me 3 or so years although i looked homeless towards the end because it was so beat up.  it was a great entry level bag to the market but I also shredded that bag pretty good.  It fit all the necessary items (laptop, serato box w cables, headphones, some vinyl, needles, and had a little extra space such as side pockets and front pocket depending on how you arrange things.  The one cool thing about it was that it had some funky neon green fabric inside the shoudlers which as it ripped became exposed.  almost like they planned that.  it also had a secret pocket underneath which had a rainfly to cover the bag.  rainfly was nice although i only used it once or twice and the pocket was super stealth.

I am not sure you can still get the backpack but the tote appears to be available.  here is a pic of both
