MIDI export tempo problems.

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

I had been running into problems with the midi export to certain folders. However, after being prompted for an upgrade (doing it) and trying again, the problem went away. I attribute it to gremlins. thanks dave

Audio export problem.

Ben, This is different than the MIDI export problem I wrote about last night. I thought I'd troubleshoot my MIDI problem by exporting a stereo file from Doggiebox 2.0 and comparing it to the MIDI track in Pro Tools, but ran up against this: When I go to export, the window shows up with the Sample Rate set to 0 and the number of channels set as 3355443. When I switch the Sample Rate to any of the various settings, I'm told that "Approximately 4096.0 MB will be required" for the exported file, and thus not enough room on my hard drive. The same set of problems (and numbers) greet me when I try to do the multi-track export. I've also run into an issue similar to what Dave had reported when exporting a MIDI file - I can't get the export to save in certain folders, and now it seems to not want to save anywhere. Again, running OS 10.5.8 on a 2.5 Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. Jack
