this might seem a backward question, as most people would use doggiebox to either create a midi file to import and use some other wiz bang software to output the file as good drum sounds or export the audio (and I've found that the drum samples on doggiebox for a standard kit are very good), but I was wondering if there is any way of importing a midi file into doggiebox that I created somewhere else ?

Not backwards at all, I think. It's been suggested before that it would be pretty cool if Doggiebox would slurp up the percussion parts of a standard GM .mid file and let you choose samples to use from your chosen .dbkit. This is, perhaps, a slightly more complicated than having DB output a .mid file (introduced in v1.2, I think) so it hasn't been implemented yet.
IMO, this would certainly be a great feature for DB v2.0. Being able to scoop drum parts from any freely available midi file for re-editing and re-tweaking in Doggiebox looks like a great slacker's way of increasing one's library of drum parts for DB :)
Not sure where Ben is at, developmentwise. One suspects Real Life intervenes from time to time! ;) I've been messing around with DB a lot, recently, tweaking my dbkit for ns_kit7 (full) and composing up parts for some new recordings, so I'd be keen to hear any news/rumours of what's in the pipeline .....
Cheers, Carl
Hi everybody,
I'm doing a lot of drum tracks with DB. Sometimes it's useful to "extract" only the snare or kick hits for further usage in a particular audio track in Logix express. Therefore I'd like to see a feature where particular drum variants (snare, Hi Tom, Low Tom etc.) can be muted before exporting an AIFF file to Logic.
No I have to backup the whole song and delete unwanted drums. This is very time consuming.
Can this be done in a future release of DB?
Best regards Thorsten
If you were exporting to midi, you can always just change the assignments unless I'm mistaken. And if you are really keen and you want to export the aiff, you can edit the level of the sounds you don't want in the drumkit down to 0. I haven't tried that, so its just a theory.

Either of those techniques could start to get labor intensive if you've got a lot of drum samples :)
So far in my adventures, I've always just played DB out in stereo using the whole of the selected kit -- but I have at least started to think about the utility of having just the cymbals, just the snare, just the kick, etc. on a given recording track. (And I would never have to worry about mic leakage! ;) So I can see the utility of being able to quickly mute and unmute given drums in the kit so as to output audio files with different bits of the part on them.
Cheers, Carl
Yes, Carl, it would be a lot of work. That's why this MUTE FEATURE would be a great one.
Bye Thorsten

I agree
