Hi Noel,

I was trying to add a harmony to a saxophone RealTrack melody. I assumed I could do this based on the video about adding audio harmonies.

However, after a lot of puzzled attempts I scrolled down in the comments section on YouTube below the video and this comment and reply confirmed what you have stated: "Really great ... but how did you generate the Sax Solo as a WAV file to begin with? You never show how to make the audio file and load it." PG Music " Hello! This video is intended to show you how to add harmonies to something you've recorded into Band-in-a-Box on the audio track. The sax solo is done on the audio track within the program - simply record yourself playing an instrument within Band-in-a-Box. We have a video on how to record audio with the Mac version here: https://youtu.be/qHrgavOG2Fk We are working on a tutorial that will shop how to get a RealTracks instrument onto the Audio track - stay tuned!"

After reading this exchange I realized I had exported some individual wav tracks including the same sax melody for fine tuning in Acoustica Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio. I imported the melody wav file unto the audio track and immediately saw it and then the AudioEdit options which had been grayed out. I was then able to add harmonies as in the video. So I think PGM needs to change the title of this video to make it clear that it is intended for a track that was recorded such as a vocal or instrument. However, importing a wav file and editing it is, as you suggest, the way to go and it is just that the video was a bit confusing.

Thanks so much for your reply. I listened to some of your songs and was very impressed.
