Hey everyone. I am wondering if you can run midi cables alongside audio cables or will that pick up interference? I know you shouldnt run audio cables parallel to power cables I am just wondering if its the same deal with midi cables.

It's cool. Audio & midi cables don't omit enough energy to cause noise.

USB cables fall under the same category as audio & midi cables. They don't omit enough energy to create noise like high voltage wiring.
