This is excellent news! Gotta say, I still love DB for entering percussion. I've tried many different programs and this is the best user interface on the planet! Thanks for all your hard work on this. dave

Couple of long-standing fixes (one big, one tiny)
by Ben Kennedy 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Hi Haakon, I'm not sure whether you're still actively using Doggiebox, but I wanted to let you know that I've finally resolved a couple of different issues that you reported to me a LONG time ago! First, there was a problem in which MIDI files exported by Doggiebox would sometimes dritft and not match the proper tempo. You first reported this in July 2008, and Jack Saturn followed up with the same evidence recently. Fortunately I've finally been able to nail down the issue, and it's fixed as build 1G11 (posted a few days ago). In a related issue, sometimes MIDI files simply would not export at all. This is also fixed (thanks to Jack and David Sampson for reporting this as well). Finally, a small one: The basis note by which the tempo is counted (e.g., quarter note = XXX bpm) will now be changeable simply by clicking on it in the inspector to get the pop-up menu. Previously, you had to right-click, which was obscure. You pointed this out in July 2006, and I'm pleased to say that just over four years later I've finally improved it. :) This will show up in the next build. thanks, -ben -- Ben Kennedy (chief magician) zygoat creative technical services http://www.zygoat.ca

More Doggiebox music

Hey all, Here's another tune from Bruce (re-sent to the list on his behalf). -b ---------------- Begin Forwarded Message ---------------- From: Bruce Terrell <bruce.terrell(a)comcast.net> As long as you're collectin', : ) Here's an instrumental part of an attempt at "September Gurls" by Alex Chilton. I failed miserably at the vocals and dumped them but it was an early attempt to use the Doggiebox drum kit which I was pretty happy with. I find a little compression and light reverb brings them out and makes them very natural. I just did a quickie remix on my laptop speakers so I hope it sounds alright. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=117705&songID=9741… On Oct 10, 2010, at 1:46 PM, Carl Edlund Anderson wrote: > Great stuff -- once again, a very natural sounding drum part.

Did this a while back with my friend Kevin Crane, who wrote and sang the song. I played guitars, bass, and Doggiebox. I think this was the Hemberger kit (sp?). http://www.box.net/shared/4zgy5f5boc I'ts called Footprints.

MIDI export tempo problems.
by Jack Saturn 08 Oct '10

Hey gang, Long-time Doggiebox user but haven't been on the list for awhile. As I was just re-subscribing I read about the new versions that Ben has been putting out this summer. Just downloaded the newest. Great work! I'm actually writing with a question regarding MIDI export. Traditionally I've used Doggiebox for coming up with complete drumkit arrangements, which I would then export as stereo WAV files and use in making demos. Concurrently, I've always arranged my instrumental parts (minus drums) in Finale. After years of doing this, I decided I'd actually like to try putting them together - namely, importing MIDI from Doggiebox and Finale into Pro Tools and running the data through Kontakt for sounds. My problem is that the tempo/duration of the Doggiebox and Finale files are not identical, despite the BPMs and measure numbers being the same on both. I've tried combining tracks for a few of my songs and it seems like the drums always begin to lag behind the Finale tracks. I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Pro Tools 7.4 and a M-Audio ProFire LightBridge. Anybody experienced in this realm and know what I might do to remedy this problem? I'd be glad to provide MIDI files for anyone to analyze. This could be the key to me completing a long-delayed album, so I owe a huge debt of gratitude to whomever may help me figure this out. Thanks! Jack
