Does CD ripping software/CD drive effect quality of the rip, for archival purposes

Hey all, I'm digitizing my CD collection in the next month or so. (edit technically it already is digital but, u get what I mean) This is so I can have acesso to it from anywhere, as CD players are more and more rare.

MIDI controller setup

Hello All,

Could anyone advise if it's possible to set up a midi controller in this way.

I currently have a Alesis VI49 it has 12 knobs at the top which I have mapped, first set of 6 controls tracks 1-6 volume & and second set of 6 controls tracks one 1-6 pan.
