Awesome walkthrough, Hello, basically I am BarkingAudio, the author of the plugin! It was very interesting to see how you used it, gave a lot of thought for improvements. One thing should definitely be clear in the manual: If you chose the Guide track (the visual representation in the DAW) to be of type Audio as you have, then we need to make sure you direct that Audio out to "Sends only"/no sound. But in Ableton just use MIDI instead as is default :) We will surely implement your suggestions on "Key" for the chords, thanks! Automatic listening to a reference track and setting up arrangement is unfortunately beyond what even the best AI models can do ATM. However learning to create your own templates from the steps on the manual will really give you a new insight and feeling on how music is usually structured, I promise you it'll change how you handle everything regarding Arrangement. Thanks again for a really solid walkthrough, I hope this will help people out there! Ps: It's free to try and use with a nag screen ;)
People struggle with arrangement because of which notes to go to or start on. It's not so much the formula as in intro, verse, chorus. Everyone knows that already it's how do you get there with the chord progression(s) you use. I think its comming up with a solid foundation. You know the base and bass, the rhythm section. Every time i try to come up with parts for the arrangement they never sound like they go together or are parts of the same song. I struggle to write FOR the song. Any help would be appreciated.

Is that an MPC Key 37 😀?
Yep. I may have bought one last week!
@ haha! Nice one! I’m tempted and I’m also tempted by the Ableton Move, which people are creating some great stuff on.
