Chord Wizard Question

Post by James Quillian »

Does anyone know how to mute the melody and just use the chords after running the chord wizard?

If there is a way to do that, then the chord wizard is a great way to make a backing track in a hurry.

What you have at that point is Audio (wav). After I edit the chords where I am happy with the chord arrangement, I turn the audio volume down and find a style that matches. Then delete the audio and you are left with a BIAB arrangement that gets saved as a sg*. Deleting the audio deletes the wav file so only the BIAB file will be saved.

I should also add that you should also delete the timing file that was created when you ran the Audio Chord Wizard. It is all done inside the audio chord wizard, but can't remember the exact terminology as i am not in front of BIAB right now

Thanks Pete, that worked just fine.

I am surprised at some of the chords BIAB comes up with.

It seems to place chords around passing tones where chords are not normally changed.
