There are a number of styles that sound great, but insist on choosing "interesting" chords.

As lovely as they sound, I've given up on getting them to work.

Depending on the instrument, you might be able to choose a simple chord, and then insert some MIDI notes to fill in the missing chordal notes. I remember watching a demo for a strummed guitar that didn't have any fancy chords. The work around was to have a second track where a note was added for the 7th of the chord, and blended pretty well.

Then again, if you had a comparable MIDI instrument, you likely wouldn't be looking to use a RealTrack, would you?


There's the free 30 day trial of Melodyne, which is capable of modifying individual notes in chords.

A Dm9 is going to be a Fmaj7/D, so I can't imagine that working out well as a substitute for a Fm7/D.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
