This is part of an original done by my friend in the 70's. I ran it through the ACW and then added RDs & a sax RT. I did this when RB first came out a couple years back. I also did the bass part.

The ACW is a wonderful piece of programming. Hope Jeff and James keep up on it so it reaches full potential. As far as I know it can still cause issues with the new Elastique, right?

Yeah, link is failing, may need to be on a list to retrieve it(?)
I explained in my post, pgboemike; I think the new Elastique stretching is having issues in RB with generating tracks that have tempo changes. Since one of the cool things about ACW is ability to line up tempos to existing recordings pretty exactly (down to thousandths of a second) it lost some usability here. Unless this got fixed and I missed it. Previous versions have the full potential.

I think it's time to get rid of Google Docs. 95% of the time there's a problem with sharing.

Okay, newbie time again.
What are you all talking about?
American Communications Workers? Accessibility Control Wizard? American Championship Wrestling?
Okay of course I know it is audio chord wizard, but again I have no idea what it is supposed to do. Chord wizard? I know my chords an my chord wheel. What is this? What does it do? How do you use it? Another plug-in thing that requires you standing on one leg while holding down 4 specific keys to load it? Does it correct sloppy play or what? Would it pull my awful singing up those couple of cents I am flat? There's a glitch in the matrix. The world's not right. MOMMY!!!!

Just ran a song through it, and even after ACW, I still sing a little flat.... ;-)
On a serious note, ACW screen is up and my song is playing. I see a button above that says "OK- Send to RB." What is that going to do, overwrite the song as it was before I did this? I really like what I had and this doesn't sound any different so there should be no harm if I do this, but I just wanted to check.

ACW allows you to (for instance) open an mp3 in RB, use the ACW to get the chords, and set the tempo to the mp3 (or wav or whatever) and send it back to RB, so you can then generate additional parts, or just have the chords and record more parts, or finish a piece you started years ago.
Very powerful.

Eddie,
For a guy who already knows the chords, or can listen to most tunes and surmise what the changes are, the ACW may not seem to be of much value, something for folks that don't have that knowledge or ability. Nothing could be further from the truth, as I have found out, using the ACW when you are tasked with building a chart or a recording for a tune that is already recorded somewhere can be invaluable. If for no other reason than you can start by hitting New in the program, load the audio file into the ACW, get things straight there and hit the 'send' button to get a full layout of the song in one button push. Even if it does identify some of the chords wrong, correcting a few chords is a LOT less hassle than filling out chordsheet from the gitgo, plus no measure counting, etc.
I've often thought that the thing would be a great tool for someone who is tasked with the making of sheets or fakebooks or the like, for the above reasons. Likely there are some out there doing just that.

Correct. It's not perfect by a long shot but it's very good. The example I did was a song my friend recored back in the 70's. He sent me the MP3 minus the bass. I ran it through the ACW to get the chords. Did a little fixing. Then in the chord sheet I added the BLUE & GREEN part markers. OH. Before sending to RB I sat there with the F8 key tapping in the tempo for a few measures. Once the tune was in RB I just chose a RD part and generated. Then a sax part and generated. I could have gone on with as many parts as I wanted . All in perfect time and the right chords.

Playing with it now. Looks interesting and cool at the same time.
So far it isn't even close, as I am loading a song from my old band's CD that I know.... but this is why we play and how we learn. I am already at a loss where to set bar 1. At -1, 0 .... because the first chord is already wrong and I can't see the pattern of the intro even if it is just a transposition issue. But hey, this is song one.

Very under-rated tool, another thing PGMusic has that is better than other DAW's. Not perfect; none are. But having the ability to *quickly* create a seq file from an existing recording is awesome. Then being able to add or generate tracks to it. Should be a huge feature in the advertisements in my eyes, but instead it seems a little discussed feature. There's a video around here somewhere showing a quick tutorial on using it.
