Wow, and only just earlier today I was wondering (again ;)): "What's up, if anything, with Doggiebox?" Well, condolences on being laid off, Ben! Though I guess it looks likely to benefit the DB user-community. ;) Yup, I guess there are a bunch of us still hanging around here on the list, and Doggiebox is certainly still my main computer-percussion tool. :) I sometimes use 3rd-party Apple Loops when sketching out song ideas, but I have yet to find anything that can beat Doggiebox in terms of power and flexibility versus ease of use! So I'll be awaiting developments with interest! :) Cheers, Carl On 19 May 2009, at 14:26, Ben Kennedy wrote:
Hey all,
In typical form, some news on the Doggiebox front after a long spell of silence. :)
I think I mentioned here awhile back that I had moved a couple of years ago to go to film school for a change of pace and new creative/ intellectual stimulation. In April of last year, I was hired for a full- time position as an assistant editor in post-production here in Vancouver. It has been a fun and rewarding new experience. Alas, I was recently laid off (along with the bulk of the company's staff) and am now back on my own.
Given the circumstances, I have decided establish a new office/work space and ramp up Mac software development efforts again, full-time.
Over the coming weeks my intent is to address current bugs and usability problems in Doggiebox, and begin a new branch where I can finally get working on long-awaited new features and improvements such as have been raised and discussed on this list in the past.
I've already fixed a MIDI export problem under 10.4 as well as a copy- and-paste bug in the pattern editor, and should have a maintenance release out soon.
I would like to thank you all for your enthusiasm over the past few years, and I'm heartened that you're still hanging around on this list. :)
