Chord Wizard

Post by Ian Kerr »

Has anyone had much success using the chord wizard in BIAB to analyse eg MP3'S for their chord structure? I seem to get so many extra chords in the song that I can't hear that it's almost impossible trying to pick the basic ones.What's an easy way to set the barline?I've never found this easy to do.
Thanks.

:D Hello Ian, The Chord Wizard works fantastic on most songs. There are some very important things to do at the very first of the file. Once you have the correct start and the first five or six measure's temps set the chords will start to fall into place. If you have an incorrect tempo, the chords will not be correct and you may get more than is correct.

Remember that there is a maximum of two chord changes per measure. This will cover 90+% of the songs out there.

If you do a search on "chord wizard" you will get a lot of hits - not all on this topic but many are.

Here is a short cut to some help I gave a forum mate severl months ago.

Feel welcome to contact me here or a PM if you need more.

Just remember that "easy comes with repetition" so just keep at it and before long you will come to love this feature.

Blessings, Bo
