Greetings all, In the interests of centralizing all of the feature requests, plans and so on, as well as to help establish a bit of a timeline and to prioritize things according to the needs and desires of the masses, I've posted a 'to do' list here: <http://www.doggiebox.com/beta/> This is an "un-official" page for the time being, and will probably be amended and updated at random intervals. Feedback and suggestions welcome. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

Hi Tor, I'm afraid it won't let me open existing songs either (so no songs will appear in the "recent" list). However, I think Ben is on the case now, so hopefully I'll be doggieboxin' soon. :) Cheers, Lux On Wednesday, October 15, 2003, at 06:20 PM, Tor Lillegraven wrote: > i have the same problem -- i end up just going into "recent" songs and > editing an old track, then re-saving it as the new song... did that > make > any sense? > > Tor > >>>> John Luxford <lux(a)simian.ca> 15.10.03 21:12 >>> > I forgot to add, I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8 > > Lux > > On Tuesday, October 14, 2003, at 10:22 PM, John Luxford wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm unable to open a song file, or create new ones.

Opening/new song doesn't work
by John Luxford 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

Hi, I'm unable to open a song file, or create new ones. Nothing happens at all. The Song Options dialogue never appears on "New song" and the document window never appears when opening an existing song either. I can successfully open kits, however, and the application itself is not crashing. I've tried this on version 1.0.4, the latest beta, and I also tried reverting to 1.0.3. I removed the RealAudio files from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins just in case as well. I've checked the help, faq, and list archives, but found no info on this happening. Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?

Here's a song I posted today
by Mike Carlyle 12 Oct '03

12 Oct '03

Jim inspired me to finish this, or at least take it to the next level. It was entirely step recorded. The midi parts were programmed rather than played, and the drums are my ns kit through Doggiebox. Listen to the song called "horsecave". http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3268&alid=-1

Repeatable crash
by Christoph 10 Oct '03

10 Oct '03

Ben - I've been able to get Doggiebox to crash repeatedly by: 1. Select 'New Song' 2. Click 'Choose...' to select a new kit 3. Select ANY kit, in the examples directory or otherwise, that is NOT 'Ben's Premier Kit' 4. Click 'Ok' to create the song. 5. Doggiebox crashes. If you create a song but don't change the default kit, save it, then change the kit there doesn't seem to be a problem. I also see a crash upon quitting but this seems to only affect songs using a kit other than the default. Hope this helps, Christoph

1.04 issues
by Frank Rubino 09 Oct '03

Hi- I've noticed that when creating a new song, and choosing Ian's Kit or TR-808, DB crashes. Also, when saving a song, if you click on the song window while the nav dialog is in front, you get the spinning pizza of death. Anybody else with similar experience? Frank

Triplets
by Tor Lillegraven 09 Oct '03

Im trying this post again... One thing I`m not getting the hang of is making fills though. Let`s say I have a 4/4 song @ 130 bpm, and I want to make 4 triplets over one bar (substitute the snare hits on 1,2,3 and 4 with triplets.) How do I do this? Anyone? Thanks Tor ***************************************************************** Denne fotnoten bekrefter at denne e-postmeldingen ble skannet av MailSweeper og funnet fri for virus. ***************************************************************** This footnote confirms that this email message has been swept by MailSweeper for the presence of computer viruses. *****************************************************************

Let`s say >I have a 4/4 song @ 130 bpm, and I want to make 4 triplets over one bar >(substitute the snare hits on 1,2,3 and 4 with triplets.) Hmm... I guess that's not really possible right now, is it! You can do triplets over eighth notes, and over quarter notes, but not over anything larger. I can see how it would be desirable, obviously. I think the interface for handling these different rhythms could be revised somehow... Right now the straight time vs. triplets is accommodated simply through the zoom function, but that also tends to lend some confusion visually, when e.g. zooming in and out and trying to remain oriented with the rhythm. I have been intending to add some little icons to indicate the duration of the "currently visible beat", but that will only do so much. Now I'm envisioning something like a "layer", where you could switch between a straight time and a tuplet view of the same bar. Hmmm. Has anybody else thought about this at all, have any ideas? -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

Hi Im really getting into programming drums -- I create the full drum track in Doggiebox, then split it up into parts and export it into Digital Performer... This way I can pan and adjust each part of the drum kit individually. (How nice this feature would have been in Doggie box...:-) One thing I`m not getting the hang of is making fills though. Let`s say I have a 4/4 song @ 130 bpm, and I want to make 4 triplets over one bar (substitute the snare hits on 1,2,3 and 4 with triplets.) How do I do this? Anyone?
