The file in question is presumably 16 bit, 44.1k wav. The properties say that bit rate is 1536k bps

The properties is likely reporting the sample rate. That doesn't sound correct.

Any chance you can upload the audio file to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive or some other cloud location and then give us a link so we can download it and take a look?

OK, drum role................. nothing, nadda, nilch. Seems to load but nothing happens in BAIB 2019 64. Tried with a second wav file on my desktop and perfect.

The supplied downloaded .wav is a vocal only. No instrumental instruments at all. Could that matter??

This file would not import into ACW. All I got was a blank BiaB chord sheet with no audio. BUT when I looked at the file's properties I noticed that my anti stuff blocked it, see attached jpg. Could this be your problem?

Note that I was not about to unblock it on my computer.

OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

This is a possible problem. 48K Hz instead of BIAB's default 44.1K Hz.

Loaded in Audacity, resampled to 44.1KHz and saved a new .wav. Open in BIAB 64 Audio chord wizard and all ran perfect.


Here is a link to the file sampled at 44.1 which works in the Chord Wizard.

Well that is what I did too from the original file but didn't work for me. Guess I'll have to try again. Thanks for all the help.
