Peter, you have no idea how much I hope I was wrong about this. BiaB is the most efficient music software I have ever used, and generating a guitar solo with a virtual guitar instrument is a painful learning curve.

My problem with BiaB generated solo is, it's good, but not perfect, so you need to partial regen. When you partial regen, for musicality purpose, you need to regen a full bar, or at least a full beat. The result is always very close, but not the best.

The solution would be, directly comping the source material in the RealTracks folder. But I can't open and read .bt1 file, and therefore I don't know which chord is referred to which bar in the original recording. Hope you know what I'm talking about here.



MusicVillain,

The Band-in-a-Box Audio Chord Wizard, or ACW for short, can assist you with matching audio with bars and with detecting what chords are located in each bar. Check out +++ THIS +++ 8:53 YouTube video.

One issue is obvious from my screenshot below, each RealTrack folder contains multiple audio files. The answer is to use the import function to load each audio file back to back so there is one, long audio stream
