After importing a wave or mp3 file into the audio chord wizard it shows up with the key signiture as C but the song itself shows up in Db. Bringing it in to BIAB, it still shows up the same way without a way to to change everything to the key of C including playing it in C. Has any one found a way to make these changes.

Are you saying that the key signature displays as "C" but the chords are in the key of Db?

If so, you should be able to manually change the key signature to Db at which point you will get a pop up screen asking if it's OK to change the chords.

You click NO and the key sig should change to Db but the chords will remain unchanged.

Best,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply, I actually would like them to be what the key signature is which is C. I can't seem to find a way of matching them up.

Thanks,
Steve

The only way that I've been able to alter the key in an audio file is to use the pitch function in a program like Audacity (free download). You might try taking the original file into audacity, save with a different name, move the pitch down 1 semitone, and save the file. Then bring it into BIAB and run the audio chord wizard and see what happens.

The default key that shows on the biab window is C. If you bring in a file that's in F, you have to transpose. When the transpose window opens, it will ask you if you want to transpose the whole worksheet. Answer, "No". Now everything will be in F. I know this works fine for midi files. I'm thinking that the chords inserted with the audio chord wizard are also midi? Otherwise they could not be edited. FWIW

Hi Steve,

If you go to the below link and scroll down a bit, you'll find a 10 minute video tutorial on how to use the Audio Chord Wizard.

Following the above tutorial was how I got a handle on using the ACW. This might help.

Regards,
Noel
