Dumb power related question
Hey, just a quick question here...I currently don't have a midi interface so I'm forced to daisy chain; this means having to turn every piece of gear on one by one if I want to use something further down the chain, and it's a minor annoyance for me. Is there anything that could be damaged by leaving all the gear on and turning it all off at the power bar so I only have to push one button instead of going around my whole room.

As long as any power amps and/or powered monitors are on a different switch and you can turn them on afterwards you should be fine. You can blow fuses turning on multiple amps at once as the power supply caps draw a lot of current when they're first switched on, but most synths and other studio gear don't draw that much current so it's not a problem.
