Charlie Fogle and Jim Fogle offered completely different solutions to fix a badly generated RealTrack so it can be used in professional productions.

After some extensive testings, I decide to go with Jim Fogle's solution.

Charlie Fogle recommended the Medley feature, which is a useless feature. Medley's function is to stitch/connect different RealTracks into one track with transitions, which can be easily achieved by putting multiple RealTracks on different utility tracks, then using Volume Automation feature to play/mute each RealTrack as needed. Putting the same RealTrack into the Medley slots doesn't make it generate better, it's equivalent to an automatic full track regeneration.

Charlie Fogle also recommended "Fix Sour Notes", which is somewhat useless too. "Fix Sour Notes" is like AutoTune for RealTracks, it can do some pitch shifting on out-of-tune notes in order to force a RealTrack to play according to a chord or a key signature, or both. However, it can not fix problems if a RealTrack play different octaves, or different arpeggio styles, etc. Like stated in my previous post.

Quote:
In Bar 22, the chord is in the wrong octave, notes are an octave higher than Bar 21 & 23, doesn't fit in between.
In Bar 26, the chord is in the wrong play style, it plays much more notes than Bar 25 & 27, musically sounds bad.


Jim Fogle's solution is primitive and savage, but most efficient. Don't let BiaB do the cherry picking, do it yourself! Import a RealTrack wma file to ACW, detect the chord, then use a DAW to cut, pick, and combine the needed chords to a loop.

PG Music doesn't want to share chord sequence of each RealTrack with users, so the users have to figure out the chord mapping sequence by themselves using ACW.

Hope one day PG would reconsider.
