Anyway just wanted to throw in what would be on my wish list in the pot. I'm no developer, so I've no idea how easy or hard it would be, but I would like to be able to import an ascii drum tab file - as is commonly posted on drum tab sites into Doggiebox. It would be a great feature to sell to bedroom guitarists like me who like to cover our favorite songs quickly. imagine thinking of a song you'd like to play, doing a quick search for the guitar and drum tab on the net, importing the tab into DB - you could then . in a matter of minutes set about mastering the song to the exact drum track. That would makelearning a lot easier and speed up the process no end. I imagine in time there would be a large library of Doggiebox dbs, but I also like the idea of poaching bits from here and there to come up with new tracks.
That was more or less the idea behind my request for the ability to import MIDI tracks, stripping off the non-drum material :) I think the old Classic app Virtual Drummer used to let you do that. I haven't ever typed in a whole drum tab to DB, though I have occasionally tried to enter a few measures from bits of a song where I particularly like the pattern or fill, so I can slap them into one of my own compositions somewhere :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
