There's only so much you can do with an audio loop...

This is a problem I'm not sure we all appreciate, yet. Let's just assume that these 'live audio' styles ARE jaw-droppingly wonderful....

There is NO WAY to include the RAM to be able to have ALL the styles be this good. So how is the arranger going to sound when, after playing a Beguine (for instance) that sounds like a real band, you next get a request for a dance style that DOESN'T have a set of audio loops to go along with it??

Consistency is the hallmark of a great arranger. Everything sounds great. Not just a few styles. And no matter how great the regular arranger sounds, if these 'live audio' styles are all they are cracked up to be, they are going to make the rest of the styles, in comparison, sound lackluster. Or there is little point in this VERY expensive technology.

What do you think?
