I see that the long-standing feature request, formerly known as "the ability to export individual drums to separate tracks" has resurfaced and has been renamed the MUTE FEATURE. If you think about it... it's a more efficient approach to be able to SELECTIVELY EXPORT, rather than MUTE. In other words, it's easier to select the drums you want, rather than all of the ones you don't.

Selecting for what you want to hear might be, then, what's called "soloing" in mixing desk parlance? Is the thought that selecting given drums should effect what you hear only in an exported file, or also when playing from within Doggiebox? My vote would be both (simpler that way). And I agree that if one is planning to export most drums to their own individual tracks (for later importation to a multitrack audio editor like GB or Logic or something), then selecting what you want to hear is probably easier than selecting what you don't want to hear. Cheers, Carl ps - I've been working on a new rock song in GB using exclusively Doggiebox for the drums. It's only a "first draft", with much of the drum part consisting of repeated basic sections except in a few places where I already had an idea about something different. My intention is to go back and bit by bit tweak things around from here. Luckily, this is really easy in Doggiebox -- it's rather harder to tweak my limited ability to sing :) Still, it's not a lot of work with Doggiebox to get a pretty decent and usable drum part for a demo: <http://www.carlaz.com/music/Words_to_the_Wind.mp3> -- Carl Edlund Anderson mailto:cea@carlaz.com http://www.carlaz.com/
