kewl, didn't know that. I've never considered making money from my music other than getting the neighbors to pay me to not play. BeatPort aside, what's the situation for someone who wants to put their tune out there and see who bites without a middleman. that's been the great part of the mp3 revolu...

i agree with aequitas123.

i group my drums into a drum bus, and guitars into a drum bus, which i can then add compression etc to. Also handy for volume controlling as i use the sliders on my trigger finger for volume control whilst making a track so i can quickly turn up or down all the drums etc.
