I have a 2009 MacBook that I kept around to run an ancient version of Quicken on Snow Leopard (and also Windows XP via Bootcamp so I can play the original Warcraft when the mood strikes. :-) ). I'm now also using that computer to run Doggiebox. I also have both GarageBand and Logic Pro on my primary computer. You can do a lot with the drum sims on both of those, but, yeah, nothing beats the freedom that Doggiebox allows you to vary patterns. I did a little looking around once, but I couldn't really find anything comparable to DB for Windows, either. I haven't looked in a long time, though. Anybody know of anything?

Whats up Dbox folks! I tried downloading doggiebox today on my Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6 and alas it doesn't seem to work. I might need to dig out the old mac just for the sake of using doggiebox. I'm assuming there aren't any planned updates, so I'm curious to know what you guys are using these days instead? I have garageband, Logic Pro, and an Akai sequencer but nothing beats the interface of doggiebox's musical notation-style...

I'm still using and enjoying Doggiebox. I agree, it seems to have stalled out but I've never had trouble using it with Garage Band. I just export it to my desktop and drag it into Garage Band! I'll program a whole song, drums first, put it in GB and away I go! I assume Logic would be just as easy. I've never tried creating my own kit, but may at some point. I don't think I'll ever change unless I see something as easy to use.

I see Ben out there on Facebook, occasionally, but I think you’re right: good ol’ Doggiebox is not a particular priority these days. I think that’s been true for some time, and I’ve been looking for other solutions for a good while now, sensing that that DB’s days were numbered.
DB’s ability to customize your own kits and samples, perform fairly detailed editing, and output the audio was pretty amazing, certainly when Ben first brought it out. I think it didn’t take off like it might otherwise have done because, just as it was coming out, everything was transitioning over to DAWs and everything had to be a plug-in as well as (if at all) a standalone app.
It will probably be a good while before I go over to Mojave (since I don’t need to break all my audio stuff just yet!), but I suppose when I do that will be farewell to good old Doggiebox! <sniff!>
Cheers, Carl

Hi, anyone who might still be out there--
I believe I posed a similar question about a year ago, but is
anyone in touch with Ben? I think some of us were already hitting the end of the road with Doggiebox (I still got it to work on High Sierra, though YMMV), but I vaguely recall that with Mojave if a certain "x" change wasn't done then various programs were going to fall by the wayside--Doggiebox among them.
We come not to mourn Doggiebox but rather to praise it . . .
Well, unless something is in the works, damn good run while it
lasted and I hope that Ben is doing well, live long and prosper, etc. (Honestly, mostly at this point I'm just wondering if I should finally unsubscribe from this list . . .).
