I will walk through the steps and try to master your technique. At first glance it looks daunting but doing it a couple times will make it easier.
Will let you know how I get along
Thanks again

It looks harder than it plays out. The three keys to getting everything to mesh is to have the recorded audio track down in the mix but loud enough to be able to compare how the style being auditioned plays over not just your chord progression but over the groove of the audio track. A guitar strumming a wrong pattern can throw the whole thing off. That leaves with a style that will work if you mute that guitar or change it out for another RT.

Another key is using both of the play options. Some demos will sound like they will work but don't when you play the demo over your chord progression. Don't forget to correct the demo tempo to match your chord progression.

Finally, Use the filters even if you can't find one by using the song/artist title search. You will have the necessary search parameters of the count, feel, tempo and style from the ACW processing.

I have fun with this process using it to create re-mixes of actual commercial recordings where I can find isolated vocal tracks of the celebrity artist. I have created unique covers of Paul McCartney, The Temptations, The Beach Boys, Kenny Chesney and many more.
