Hi Brad,

The Audio Chord Wizard sometimes makes mistakes in naming the chords. Sometimes it makes more mistakes than at other times, this can depend on the recording in use at the time, how "hot" it is or pehaps it is not recorded at such a high gain, also the content on the recording comes into play too.

Even given that, the ACW can indeed represent a great shortcut to laying out a BIAB song. For one thing, it usually will get the number of bars right for you, if not all the chord names.

As for the chords the wizard misnames, you may not know a lot about music theory right now, but often you can make a good eduacated guess as to what belongs where because of the OTHER chords that the wizard gets right.

Another thing you could try is the Chord Builder, after a song that is run through the ACW and you have at least nailed the first bar there and then exported to BIAB. With the Chord Builder you can hear the chord play as selected and with a good ear can sometimes get the right chord for those wrong bars.
