So I'm a newbie to this recording thing. I'm running a Neve 5017 preamp into a Yamaha AG03 mixer. I'm using Cubase as my DAW. While I'm trying to educate myself as I go, I realized that I made two mistakes, and I'm wondering if I may have messed anything up.
1) For the past 3 weeks, I had the output of my Neve preamp (balanced) going to the guitar input of my Yamaha interface/mixer (unbalanced) using a balanced cable. I learned today that it should actually be plugged into the line input on my I interface/mixer. Any potential harm in having done this for the past 3 weeks?
2) I was "experimenting" with my interface/mixer and I plugged the balanced output of my Neve preamp into the XLR input of the Yamaha interface/mixer using a balanced cable. While it was plugged in there, I pressed the phantom button on the interface/mixer for less than 5 seconds and then turned it off, not knowing what it was for. Did I fry anything?
Thanks,
