Hallo ageofpoo
For that reason I have installed on the back in the cable compartment 3 remote-control switch (Keyboard, lamp for sheet of music, PC). So I always switch off all equipment including mixer and amplifier.
Rrighthand on the table you see half of the black remote control.
Tampa Florida (where my Nords reside) sometimes referred to as Lightning Capital of the World. I'm not too sure about the "World" part, but definitely lightning capital of the USA. Disconnected from mains power when not in use is not a bad idea.
France is not capital of lightnings but I tend to do the same: either switch the power strip off or completely unplug it from the wall when storm is coming.
Plus some appliances do use a little current while in standby. I'm used to have those guys unplugged.
A piece of advice: beware when you guys swicht on everything with a general power strip or anything. Some amps or stuffs do have a built in soft switch under the button, so that the current establishes not to violently. General siwthes bypass that.
Pablo, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I have heard similar things. Any reason for this? Thanks.
Yes as mentioned turning off the signal source when the amplification system is turned up, can result in bad signal being amplified and sent to the speakers. Just like unplugging a guitar with the amp turned up.
