I've got a couple of BetaMonkey loop discs as well (for when I'm too lazy to start programming stuff out in DB right away ;) and like 'em well, though I've not done much with the individual samples up to now. Which samples/groups of samples does your dbkit use? I wonder if I've got the right BetaMonkey stuff to give it a spin, or to adapt it relatively easily ....
Carl,
I just checked the betamonkeymusic.com site and he has the Alt kits for his Nov special. He ran that in Aug as well and I bought the 4 pack set. It's good stuff.
I grabbed the samples he had on Disk 1 and created a drum kit. I added one or two Rock Drum Kit samples from GarageBand (small, quick snare rolls on the quarter note beat). I'm really pleased with the result.
I did two covers with the kit -> Clash's London Calling and a song you probably haven't heard before. Then I took his loops and cobbled together my own version of Slade's Merry Christmas Everyone. It's got a little bit of a punk edge to it.
I took the London Calling file and split out the drum parts. Then I used ProTools and imported the track, put some compression and EQ on each drum part, and recorded the bass and guitar (I have no illusions about vocal or guitar talent :) I'm an old time bass player ). The output was fairly good IMHO.
If you have the Alt 1 set, let me know and I can send you the DoggieBox kit file.

Ooo, tempting, though I just succumbed the other month to a special for the two Double Bass Mania discs ('cause I'm usually too lazy to program that much kick in DB ;) and the missus will kill me if I shell out again for more toys so soon! ;)

Post it somewhere so we can hear it! :)
And what _is_ the song we probably haven't heard before? :)

Alas, besides the Double Bass Mania sets, I've just got Drum Werks VII (I think). Probably the file names for the drum samples differ from CD to CD (admittedly, haven't looked that closely at the single hit samples yet!) so some messing about would probably be required .... Though I'd be interested to take a look anyway, just to see how you've set up the kit.
Anywhere you could post the dbkit file? Alas, Ben doesn't seem to have been checking his mail recently :/ so asking him to host it on the resources section of doggiebox.com might be a bit slow ....
Cheers, Carl
