An overview of all hot topics at the moment.
After struggling with finding a reasonable way to combine Ableton Live loop recording, my Marshall amplifier and my POD X3 Live floorboard, I found a way of controlling it all, without (too much) additional hardware or pedals. In fact, I can diminish the amount of pedals considerably, as I don't have to use the Marshall pedal switchboard. I did had to buy a MIDI-2-USB connector, since the X3 Live connection through USB to the laptop does not send MIDI signals, only audio.

Since artists can show themselves on several places, I've started to create and maintain several profiles, on sites such as MySpace, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Reverbnation and Vi.Be (the Belgian Myspace). So far, I prefer bandcamp (liberal rules and clean minimal layout) and vi.be (mandatory for Belgian music contests).
