I use Chordify often, especially during low-attendance jams to verify chords shown by Ultimate Guitar. The UG lyrics are usually right, but their contributors' interpretations of the chords to songs often leave much to be desired! I've sent in recommendations for changes to both programs. In Chordify, most useful chord types are available and usually correctly detected, except for augmenteds. That 1-3-#5 configuration is not on the list. Case in point: Guess Who's 'Laughing' - augmenteds used throughout, but not detected by Chordify. At my low-attendance jams (often just two of us!) I play an arranger keyboard, and spend too much time searching the 1000-odd style options for a useable style to deliver an appropriate combo for the song we choose at random from the UG list. I wish the UG &/or Chordify presentations would at least suggest a starting point: rock, shuffle, 6-9 ballad, beguine, etc. etc. Chordify does present the BPM of the arrangement (usually from Youtube) it magically deconstructs in its pro edition, which is useful. Any other users of these great apps?
Personally I use it for popular songs and it tends to measure up, some hearing correction and you already have the chords. For more complex songs like jazz or bossa I consider it less effective, but in general it is a great advance for musicians.
Another program like the ones that have been discussed here is mychord
I am brand new here and not a great tech. I want to know if I can import songs from Chordify to Band in a box and how. Would sure save time typing! A problem is Chordify will work on my iPad or android phone, but not on my AirMac.
Or is there another program that does this. Thanks
So, I went to the site, saw a Luke Bryan song, and saw that Chordify Premium is $1.79 a month, a whopping $20 a year subscription.
Below are screenshots for the web freebie, and the BIAB file using the midi I received for, let's say, 5 cents.
It is very close to what is on Ultimate Guitar (both the web and the midi) and with a few tweaks I am sure it will be fine.
So let's see. I pay 17.95 a month for Netflix and never watch it because I am trying to decode songs. So, hmmmmm...do I spend $1.79 a month to let a robot do 95% of the work for me.
Or do I gripe and complain that they missed the Sus 4 add 11 MajMin9th augmented 5 chord???? (Ok, yes that was silly.)
Floyd, my answer:
Yes. Get it.
Also answers my other question on another thread.
Anyone doing current songs in BIAB using current styles?
Yes.
Me.
Now.

I have tried that ACW tool 8-10 times and it has never come CLOSE to recognizing the chords correctly. Once with something as simple as a 1-4-5 12 bar blues song.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

The trick with the acw is to get the tempo map right 100% BEFORE attempting to get it to recognising chords.

Another trick to using the Audio Chord Wizard (ACW) is to manually set beat 1 of bar 1. Many songs have a lead in so the audio starts before bar 1. If the ACW starts its analysis at the lead in the rest of the analysis will never be correct.
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
