This has been out a couple days. Really need to advertize its availability. As long as they don't put the advertizements into the video. grin My ad blocker was working overtime.

Thanks, - very good, very useful.
I had missed this one.

Not a quick process but several very useful tips in there.
Before I had always focused on aligning up to beat one in the time map but here they suggest to focus on beat two and four as well, very useful.
A very good video to see the whole workflow as suggested by PG Music for working with stems, creating a time map, extract the chords and play along with BIAB styles.

Yes, I also understood a new path was coming which would simplify the process. A new boot camp will be needed.

To PG.

very well done video. just some comments.

1..any chance that the stems be in flac format as an option ??
might be a nice touch ??
2..the main probs i have with acw is fast tempos whizzing along makes it difficult setting bar lines so what ive tended to do is slow the audio master down to 50 or 75 percent so as to more accurately set bar lines.
thus a question...given the vid...can one slow down useing the bb option
and this will take effect ? in the past i tried to do this but had probs...
acw play didnt slow done thus i came up with the solution to slow down before importing into bb.
its just that for us vision impaired fast tempos create a prob in setting bar lines. in summary my biggest prob has been bar lines.
3..as rb has various added features eg fractional tempos and more tracks than bb could a vid be produced similar to the bb one but for rb users ? particularly for new users.

groovy vid....i hope i make sense.

merry xmas to all pg staff and users.

om

Build 1123 had been just released, the points I was referring to were these ones:

Added: Stems, now has a button "Use Existing Audio Track" which sets the stem splitter to use the Audio Track and set various options
Added: Process to make Stems, use ACW for TempoMap and Chords, and then Equalize the tempos to one tempo has been improved with several additions
1. When bar 1 line moves, the stems all move as well in sync
2. When equalize tempos is chosen, the stems all get equalize tempos too so they stay in sync
3. Style changes don't change the tempo if audio track or stems or tempo changes are in place

These new features are really useful, make the whole process way simpler and intuitive, and work very well.

I haven't tried but it should work. Keep in mind, however, that when you're setting the bars, you are setting the tempo too, so after you are done with bars, the resulting project will have a much slower tempo. To solve that, you can use the equalize tempo command, and then seeing the while project to it's original tempo again.
