> none of this helps me add my 6/8 EZKeys piano chords

You should add your EZkeys chords to your DAW project in 4/4, using the menu options from the screenshots that Dave posted.

Then you’ll never get into the time signature mess of 6/8 in the first place, as you’ll always be in 4/4. The song you sent me was a 4/4 song anyway. Just tap your foot along with it and you’ll see what I mean, Just because someone calls a pattern 6/8 doesn’t mean you need to change the time signature of your DAW to 6/8, especially since your DAW doesn’t support triplet (compound) time signatures, and forces you to change the tempo by a factor of 1.5x

If I was summarizing this in a one-liner it would read…

In your DAW… Forget 12/8 and 6/8… Stay in 4/4 !

If that one-liner isn’t clear, I’ll re-paste what I said above which elaborates the point…

“ many DAWS don’t support triplet (“compound) based n/8 time signatures, so they force the triplets into two 8th notes per beat instead of three, which becomes very confusing. The tempo becomes 1.5x faster for example, so that’s 75 instead of the correct tempo of 50 bpm. All these problems go away if you use the n/4 time signature equivalent of the n/8 time signature e.g. use 4/4 instead of 12/8”

Have Fun!
