Doggiebox is a versatile drum machine that empowers you to create and manipulate percussion-based songs. With Doggiebox, you can create drum tracks in minutes, ranging from the realism of a human drummer on a full kit to imaginitively bizarre experimental pieces.Doggiebox is currently in a preliminary development phase, our goal is to produce a tool for home-recording musicians and hobbyists that complements a human drummer for a variety of situations. Whether you want to quickly produce a demo without taking the time to set up and record real drums, or just need a click track for recording guitar, or if you have grand aspirations but don't own a drum kit, Doggiebox is the friendly and versatile tool to fill the gap. Other beat-box and accompaniment software exists for the Mac, but none has proven good enough to satisfy our needs. Doggiebox has been born out of a belief that the Mac should remain the platform of choice for recording and post-production among computer-using musicians. Here's a sampling of some of the things you can do with Doggiebox today: create and modify drum tracks of unlimited length, with zoomable granularity from one beat per bar down to 64th notes, using a flexible yet intuitive interface specify tempo and time signature changes (including compound time) over arbitrary bars in a song create and modify your own drum kits, including an unlimited range of instrument types (e.g. drums, cymbals, accessories) and variants, including their actual sounds and visual representation drag and drop groups of bars between song files, even if those songs each use a different drum kit play a song using different drum kits with the simplicity of automated drum kit matching (compare the included "real drum kit" with the "voice simulated drums") mark off song sections, such as verses and choruses, in a separate scrolling list for easy navigation and management A number of exciting things are still in the works; see the "Forthcoming Features" section in the Use  |  |
