Hi - I am pretty new to BIAB but I have successfully done my first song and will share it in a week or so, it is here so you can see it:
https://youtu.be/ufEObHqJgfs

I used the Auto Chord Wizard because I play NO instruments - none smile That is why I bought BIAB to make back tracks for myself.

The next song I am working with is a mountain I can't overcome. I know I am dating myself, but it is an old song called My Christmas Card To You - Tony Romero/The Partridge Family. The ACW is not playing well with this song at all and I don't have the ability to get to the bottom of what I am doing wrong, or what ACW is doing wrong - or both.

Is there a way to get help, paid or not paid, to get a working song sheet to make this song singable for me? It's a Christmas song so the time isn't all that long to be able to start to sing it.

I found the original album packed away in one of my old boxes and converted the song to a wave file. Using the wave file in the ACW does make the chord sheet, but it isn't close to being right and as I said, it's now kinda like hitting a wall so I am trying to find help.

Thank you smile
Peter

You could certainly type the chords in yourself. There are definitely some on the Web and it doesn't generally take long. Chords on the Web aren't always right, but they'll usually do, especially if it's only for you or a band with whom you can agree.

I just searched "My Christmas Card To You" chords and found a few.

Hi Gordon,

Thanks I found those too before. They don't work well and/or I am not doing it right. I need someone who can show me it done correctly even if it's just for 3 or 4 lines and I can go from there. The ACW fills it all in, but when played along with the .wav or just alone, it isn't right. Thanks for responding though, that was cool smile
