Hi experts!
more and more programs are working with chord sheet or chord tracks (e.g. BiaB, Cubase, Toontrack EZKeys and EZBass). I most likely start building a song in BiaB. Is there any chance to "copy" the BiaB chord sheet into Cubase or Toontrack?

Thanks in advance

You could try File > Save Special.. > Save Song as MusicXML file and just choose to save the Chords.

Then in your DAW, Open the Music XML file.

(Disclaimer: I haven't done this and don't know what the results might be) wink

Thanks Video Track,
importing an XML file into Cubase leads to to several MIDI tracks, not a chord track frown

I can answer this with confidence. The answer is YES. I do it all the time, but it ain't pretty (meaning it ain't drag and drop like it should be and like what has been asked for here in the forum for a long time). You will find lots of old treads discussing this also some videos which show how it is done. If you are really interested in this I can walk you through it. But before I reinvent the wheel please first search the forum (chords, EZkeys) for this info or confirm you really want to go there. Or check out the menu options below. I would be glad to illustrate the process if you need.

Hi Music Student!
I´ve done some search in the forum and on youtube as well, but did not get a clou...
I would realy appreciate if you could guide me through the process.

BTW: I already said this here and it´s time to say it again:
The way members of this forum help and support each other is outstanding. I often see "seniors" in other forums bashing at "juniors", and the most often used answer is: "RTFM" (read th f#####ng manuel)
This forum and their members seems to be much more mature!

Thanks

THANKS A LOT!!
that works like charme

And on top: if you use slash chords and import them into EZBass, it plays the correct bass notes.
Importing into cubase works as well.
Now I only have to figure out, how to get the chords into melodyne5...

In Melodyne under edit/chords and keys click on use DAW chords. I know this works with Studio One Pro.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
