comment Preventing tangled mic cables
@endolith - naive coiling does twist the cables, which is why they often end up tangled up. "flip-coiling" or flaking adds a twist to the coiling process which allows the cable to lie flat without any twist.

comment Connecting the iRig mic to a mixer or microphone input
Keep in mind that the Apple audio input ports are line-level, and PCs generally use SoundBlaster-style plug-in power TRS ports. So you need to find out what level the iRig outputs and then figure out how to match it with your mac or PC.

comment Sustain pedal in a MIDI file
Pedantic, but relevant to this question: A MIDI file is not just notes, it also can include controller data, which is relevant to the OP's question.

Reaper should do the job. You can download it for free and should be able to examine your MIDI file with it.

comment Novation Launchpad as drum pads?
The launchpad buttons are very stiff and not velocity sensitive, so you might want to look at one of the drum-oriented pad controllers. However, the launchpad is better than a computer keyboard.

It isn't a good question. According to the FAQ: You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page.

comment How do DVDs avoid the blockyness that plagues dark scenes in most video files?
The effect happens everywhere, but the human vision system detects differences in black shading before it detects differences in colors. It is also possible that your display's Gamma curve is set such that it exaggerates small differences in black level.

Strictly speaking, ripping is the process of pulling data off the disc. If the video ends up in another codec, you have been transcoding the video as well. Transcoding is the likely source of the blockiness.
