So today's exercise was this.

I downloaded a MIDI file and imported it into both RB and BIAB. (3 different versions from 3 different sources.) The sounds were hideous but that wasn't the reason for the exercise.

I got the thing to play and exported it to an audio file (I used WAV.) I then restarted RB and imported that WAV file.

I then ran it through the ACW and once again, the chords as interpreted by RB were not even close. I mean like really not even close. The song was in C and the chords were Eb, and not even close to correct as the progression "progressed". I deliberately picked a song I know how to play so I knew what they were supposed to be. ("I Can't Give You Anything But Love")

HOW do you guys get that frickin' thing to work??? I have never had ACW come even close. I once put one of my own songs into it and it butchered that badly too.

The game here is that I want to take MIDI files, plug them into either software, get a workable WAV file out of it, then run ACW so I have a chord sheet. With that chord sheet I can then generate what I want from the style picker and then generate tracks with the sounds I want. Has anybody ever done those exact steps successfully?

I honestly still don't know what that Chord Wizard this is even for since it doesn't actually work.

To allude to another thread, talk about cheating...!!
