I used to use the ACW all the time and it's a really useful app when you get it to work. Unfortunately I haven't now used it for a few years since it was "improved". I'm sure whoever changed it thought they were making it better, but as far as I'm concerned they really completely ruined it. No matter what I do I cannot get it to work. I'm now forced to use an app on my phone called Chord AI which is very good, but I then have to transfer all the chords onto my laptop - so thanks to whoever it was at PGmusic who had the bright idea to mess with this previously great app.

I wrote a tutorial for the new ACW a little while ago. It's in the "Post Your Own Tips And Tricks" forum at the link below.

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=821394#Post821394

This is a step-by-step tutorial with a link to the song that I used so that you can work through the process that I use. It will take around one hour to do the tutorial.

Once you understand how the new ACW works, you will find it excellent.

Regards,
--Noel

Thanks Noel,
I used to use it when it was simple.
Perhaps I can again with your tute.


Cheers

It's got some cool features but I reckon I'm going to have to watch that video and see if I can get it to behave with regards to the tempo matching. I can't seem to get it to do right. I add the audio, add the bar lines, tell it to use a certain tempo throughout, and with an appropriate style selected, hit play. The audio and the BB style are totally out of time with each other. Like I said, I'll watch the video and see if it tells me what I'm not doing correctly.
