Doggiebox 1A5, with full export support!
by Ben Kennedy 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Greetings all, Build 1A5 is up! http://www.zygoat.ca/products/doggiebox/download.php As mentioned earlier this week on the list, there are a couple of bug fixes regarding drum precedence (hi hats now close where they should), plus a problem with saving drum kits that would trash all the drum icons. The biggest news for this release though is that export-to-AIFF (and in fact, about a dozen other file formats too) is now a reality, so you can start using your beats in other apps like ProTools and whatnot! Woo hoo! As usual, please report any strangeness, weird behaviour, bugs, etc. Much of the underlying rendering code has changed since the last release. Also, I've compressed the archive with DropStuff 7.0, which seems to have yielded about a 10% file size reduction. I hope that isn't indicative of a file which is incompatible with older versions of StuffitExpander. If you have problems with the archive, please let me know. enjoy, -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

Icons for Drum Editor
by Phill & Sue Boye 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

I have figured out how the drum editor works but there seem to be no icons to use, and you can¹t tell where the drums are with no icons. I experimented using the little icon images in osx (the logon ones eg dog/cat/cheeta) but they only are visible in the list of the drum editor not in the list when adding to a song. Thanks Phill

Status report, and questionnaire
by Ben Kennedy 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Greetings all, This is just a brief message to let you know where things are at with Doggiebox! First of all, the "lack of muting problem" is fixed for the next build. This is the one where certain drum sounds should cause earlier sounds to stop, but currently don't (e.g. a closed hi-hat following an open hi-hat, or a hand-muted crash cymbal following a normal hit on the same crash). Secondly, the mechanics for audio file export of the whole song is now in place, and I have it working locally. There is still more to be done, but I hope to post a new build -- complete with audio export -- within the next couple of days! Third, I would appreciate your feedback in a brief Doggiebox questionnaire. It should only take a minute or two to fill out. Visit it here: <http://www.zygoat.ca/products/doggiebox/questionnaire.php> thanks, -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

Drum Kits Anyone?
by Steve Kirks 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Wondering if anyone has any alternative drum kits out there to load. Thanks for the Premier kit, Ben, but I'm looking for a snappier snare. Also, I'm working up some songs to help me learn some basic drum techniques. Would anyone like to share any songs they have? Steve Kirks

My mistake, please excuse it.

Sorry Ben, I haven't been able to recreate the tempo pulling problem.... I am not sure why.. I do like how it is working now. I don't think I was using it properly. When sliding off the button it maintains the pulled/pushed tempo. When simply pressing the button it only momentarily changes it. Is it 7% percent of the BPM? IE: If BPM=120 then pull 7% BPM , BPM then = 128.4? If so, why not display both the percentage and the end resulting BPM? How was your trip? Thanks, Gavin.

tempo pulling...
by Gavin and Danica MacNeil 02 Dec '02

Hi Ben, I just updated to Jaguar and decided to check out the dog's box.. Jaguar is fast... Anyways created a bar of 4/4 and just looped it and added some drums here and there. Then pulled the tempo to 150% and then tried to pull it back. The notch then jumped back to 150 not letting me back down in tempo. I don't remember this problem in OS X, but maybe I never tried it. I really like your program Ben, the interface is very friendly... I gotta get some sort of audio interface so that I can play along with the imac. Thanks, Gavin.
