Hello

Here is a new link on Norbert Stellberg's Live Styler soft arranger web site. I believe these are the first complete songs I've heard done on a soft arranger.

This represents the possibilities of choosing whatever sounds you want to choose over brand X, Y and Z's hardware arrangers

Very well recorded and very nice voice.
This is not my genre of music.
It is not bad at all, but IMO not at the same level than a good hign end hard arranger.
But this shows that the softarranger solution is working good.
Now, I think that the soft arranger need professionals to work for creating the best styles, same as hardware arrangers, and dedicated sound banks to make it more easy to use.

Not too bad at all. I didn't mind that guys singing or the bavarian/austrian styles he was playing. IMO the styles were rather thin on the ground and seemed to lack any punch, but it shows you what can be achieved and they can only get better from now on.
With a top end hardware arranger you can still change/edit the styles and sounds to suite your own needs eg. change the parts to different sounds, alter the volumes of each part, change the effects used, so you are never just stuck to what the manufacturer offers you.
