ArrangerKing is a unique assistant plugin for completing your DAW tracks

Most important: Thank you so very much to the nice guys who tipped me that I'd better post this and posted about Arrangerking in here, (you know who you are) you guys are just awesome support, thank you so very, very much much!!:D:diddlydoo:

The title says it all -> NOW Try for FREE before you buy from https://arrangerking.com

However, perhaps some context is in place?

OK, so I am just any guy, I like to develop things but I'm not a company and ArrangerKing is my first ever plugin. I Never thought I'd do a freaking plugin. (Honestly I did not either: I designed it, build protos, but had the released version build for my savings)

I used to get stuck in the DAW: Making something that sounded awesome, but then entered spiral of repeat and dead ears, project abandon..

As I was trying to crack that #&"/¤! code over the years by watching tutorials, being fanboy of geniuses, buying more DAWs and synths, at some point I saw this video:

Something in me said "Click".. Not because of the content, but because of the graphics he use to show arrangements.

That totally inspired me to go down a rabbit hole, and one step at a time, I realized that there's a fundamental difference between making music with real instruments/voice, and in a DAW:

When doing it "Naturally", you first feel it, then express it. Or at least simultaneously.

But when we are working in DAW's and similar, we FIRST program it, THEN listen. And "listen is not just a short burst, you have to listen to something that plays.

That this little difference in fact is why I used to get stuck in the DAW was a fact that took me a long time to grasp, and I'm still not sure I'm able to really express it.

If you "just sing or play", then what happens in the background, is that you adhere to rules.

We don't think about it, but of course if we make a little song that we just sing out as we invent it, it's not like the verse is 5 bars (RULE!)and it's not like the next verse is another length than the first (RULE!), and also it's not like if we have a Verse, a Chorus, a Solo/Break, a Bridge, an Intro, an Outro/Fade Out, a Pre-Chorus, and an effect-break.. that we can add more part types and still make it feel like one song / track (RULE!)..

So, as you intuitively know, there are RULES for the structure,(if you are doing not a sound montage or classical music) but.. you know.. "a song"/"a track"..

And the dumb thing is that NOBODY HAS WRITTEN THESE RULES DOWN!!

And DAW's are made without them!!

DAW's have Piano/notes (Frequency-rules), grids and bars (tempo/cyclic/beat rules).. but the freaking "song-structure rules".. no? What the hell?

I then combined these two evils and realized why I got stuck:

You have to LISTEN to learn what you have done, and there is NO STRUCTURE TO LEAN ON, so you have to.....

You have to what??

You have to listen to the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!

That just HAS to kill your ears, (unless you are really fast - as fast as singing or playing a guitar).

Naturally you will start tweaking things then before you have the structure in place, and so naturally it all goes down the drain:D

You make "details" before structure.. or as I now call it, you have an Instrument based workflow instead of a Part based workflow.

This whole is SO different from "just singing", where you dont have to chose a synth and.. basically ArrangerKing is a tool I made to help bridge this gap by taking you from "idea" across to "tructure" in no time:

You can have the "crazy idea" and then in a few clicks lay that out very effectively as structure.. And THEN you can fiddle with the details, finish the damn track:D

I don't know i'f Im in too deep here, I have been through a lot of steps in my head with this, but perhaps it is converted into something useful for you with the plugin, I hope so:D
