Is it O.K. to plug and unplug MIDI cables while power is on?

My sound interface to my computer has 2 mic inputs but only 1 phantom power switch that turns it on or off for both mic inputs. I wanted to use 1 condensor and 1 dynamic to record simultaneously. The docs say that the phantom power won't hurt the dynamic mic. What will the phantom power do to...

Is a static shock (built up from fricton in low humidiy - like your feed rubbing on the carpet) from your finger to the computer case/chasis O.K.? I know for some of the components (eg. network card, hard drive, soundcard, etc.) the instructions for installation say to touch a ground before...

The first thing I did with MIDIOX was change the parameters and save the profile. I didn't save the default profile before I did this. So does anyone know how to reset it to it's default settings?

Because I don't have a powered mixer or a stereo p.a., I was thinking if I could get away with the gear I have. Anyone know of a reason why I shouldn't use this setup, or what to look out for? I was thinking of taking a Behringer mixer and plugging 2 mics and 2 keyboards into it. Then I...

I want to be able to have anything plugged into a powered mixer to have it's own channel in a recorder. So what's the technique used? There aren't outputs for each channel on the mixer and I don't want to record the mix since I'll want to try and mix it later. The powered mixer will be used...

Any ideas where I can buy individual speaker components for home stereos. Like just one part of a 3 way speaker, or the little crossover boards that split the frequencies up to the different speakers?

What is the purpose of the Eurorack's output behaviour? The output meter shows: clip 6 0 20 This is a normal looking meter with the 20 and the 0 are green lights, the 6 is a yellow light, and the clip is a red light. I thought clip was 0db. This is proving to be really hard to use...

I eq and master my songs in Sonar and the levels check out. The songs sound good played from my computer through a nice set of monitor speakers. Then I burn a disc. When I play it in my computer's CDROM, it still sounds good. But when I play it on my stereo, I get these wierd buzzing...

Do the different .mp3 encoders produce different audio quality for the same settings, or are the algorithms the same? I have only used cwenc. I've always used variable bit rate set at extreme quality. Every song I've converted to .mp3 sounds different from the wav. The mix sounds different and...

Is there a 3 pedal system that can connect via MIDI that will have the sustain, half range sustain, and soften functions of piano pedals? I've seen them made to plug into keyboards, but mine only has 1 mono input for a sustain pedal. So I am hoping there is a way to plug in another controller...

You ever get that little pop/snap sound when you stop a track, or cue it during playback? Or sometimes if a clip isn't faded out just right? What is that from? Why isn't there an algorithm to get rid of that? Some people say they don't get that, but I wonder if they just don't hear it or pay...

I'm still wondering what kind of signal will damage a speaker. Supposedly clipping can damage a speaker, but I've yet to find any information saying what kind of damage and what level will cause it. +20db spike? +30? +10db continuous signal? Speaker blows up? Speaker stops producing sound...

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone else can listen to the 64 voice piano on your JV-1010. The 2nd G on a 88 keyboard buzzes. For the most part, all of the other notes sound good, but this one key sorta ruins the piano. Anyone else notice this?

Anyone have a lead on how to convert Roland .svq files? How about anyone know of a way to bulk transfer Roland sequencer tracks through the MIDI out on a XP-80?
