The big issue is that ACW is very time consuming to find the chords since you have to create the timing reference for each measure.


There are a ton of high quality MIDI files and sounds sources out there. A lot of the for purchase MIDI files are transcribed from the actual song. As for the ACW I either input the chords myself, find a good MIDI file and use it for the chords, or I use one of Norton Musics fake disc: http://nortonmusic.com/contents.html#top

This is possible with both MIDI and RealTracks. With RealTracks the backing track will not be identical to the actual song. You might be able to get close or exactly like the original but it would take a considerable amount of time.

If you take a look at iREALPro forum (https://irealb.com/forums/), they have actually done this for the iRealPro app. It works great, and is very simple to use. The problem is that it uses the MIDI styles and not the real styles like BIAB.


Using the style picker you can input the name of a song and if available it will list the styles that might fit said song.

Any thoughts?


The user showcase is where we upload our songs, but they must be original songs unless you have purchased the right to post that song, and that can cost you a lot of money. The music police have closed down a number of sites that were posting copyrighted material without permission, i.e paying for the rights to do so.

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