Oh, and perhaps by default, my GarageBand library samples don't have a file name extension, and I can't seem to convince DB to link to them (they're greyed out when I try to Load). Am simply doing the wrong thing in DB, or should I do something like copy the appropriate bits of GB library samples somewhere else and rename them with file extensions?
Hmmm... I see what you mean. It seems this is only the case with the Percussion Kit, though. The other half dozen kits all appear to use .aif file extensions. I hadn't played with the Percussion Kit yet so I didn't reailse the issue there. What I would suggest is to use some tool to add type/creator metadata to the files -- specifically, a file type of 'AIFF' -- so that Doggiebox will properly see them as aiff files. Renaming them is no good because the linking mechanism needs them to have the same names in order to work transparently. Changing the file type code will work, however, because once Doggiebox sees them it will link them in your kit by filename. type/creator utilities: <http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php? str=type+creator&plt%5B%5D=macosx&tfB asis=&afterYear=&afterMonth=&afterDay =&beforeYear=&beforeMonth=&beforeDay= &action=search&srchGuid=f17527b811b87093%3A2a6ff%3Afc752e0e8d%3A- 80002a6ff%3Afc78ca181f%3A5454&by=rating&dir=descending&pg=1&perPage=20> -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
