I just listened to "Reach You." Sounds really good. I especially like the guitars, and it's amazing what you've done with the drum track with Doggiebox! I was wondering if you could describe the process in putting that song together. At what point did you build the drum track? It sounds like a lot of tempo changes and fills going on. I could benefit from you describing the creative process.... I tend to first put together a very basic drum track with Doggiebox, then record a song to the track. I then find it to be difficult to go back and retro-fit a new (more fleshed-out) drum track. I'm just curious how you arrange the entire assembly of a song. Do you build the drum track based on a very rough, say for example, acoustic guitar version of the song, then record bass, electric, vocals,etc. to what then is your finished drumtack? I love Doggiebox; it's helped me add a new dimension to what was otherwise drum-less multi-track stuff. Now I'd like to raise the bar a notch and get more efficient at creating some more meaningful drum tracks. Any thoughts from anyone out there are appreciated. Thanks! -Patrick

Hey all,
For anyone interested in how I've been using Doggiebox myself lately, I've finally thrown together a small collection of some of my recent projects:
<http://www.myselfmusic.com/003/>
My plan is eventually to re-record real drums for these songs, but Doggiebox does a hell of a stand-in job for the demos don't you say? :)
There are MP3s and dbsong files for anyone interested.
In Doggiebox news, I plan to release 1.0.5 by the end of the weekend (I just need to record a few more sounds to bolster the drum kit, including those hand claps I promised).
And... I hope to have an early build of the next generation (1.1) for all to play with by sometime this coming week. I'm building in better section and structure editing support now, but it's necessitating a lot of re-plumbing under the hood.
