Hi all-
Work on the mixer is still in the planning stages, but I just thought of something interesting: Do I use mute switches that turn off the channel when depressed or do I use on switches like on most Yamaha mixers that turn the channel on? Also, if I make them on switches, would it be a good idea to run not only audio, but power to the channel through the on switch via a DPST switch? Would that cause the caps in the channel to function differently/fry opamps?

Which way the switches work is your preference. If you use push push switches they sometimes don't latch the first time so you could think about the effect of that.
As for switching the power too, don't do it. That causes a transient that might make it obvious you are doing switching.
When designing a switch circuit, make sure there is no DC present, to avoid a click.
