...that word "synchronized" is key!

Yes! Start with SMP - it will identify all the chords in your "old master". Along with the key, timing and tempo. It will create a Tempo map which will come in handy when you want to insert midi tracks. It will then separate out the individual instruments as audio tracks (stems). It will create midi block chords as a separate track. Afer you have all this content, copy and paste it all to your DAW. That was the easy part. Once you are in your DAW now the fun begins - production and mixing.

Can you start adding in all those wonderful BIAB RTs - unfortunately, that is not so easy. RTs do not like to follow tempo maps so the RTs can be difficult to mix into the groove of your old master. Can you add any midi content - yes indeed, that is doable (that opens up BIAB Midi, EZKeys2, EZDrummer3 and a host of other VST instruments).

For adding guitar audio, I just made a video where I discovered one of the wonders of Tonalics is that it has the best midi mapping I have worked with and the sounds are real guitarists. I have big hopes for this new App. I will send you my most recent video which shows some of this workflow tomorrow. I had finished the video earlier today and in the final take my dog came running in like there was a fire. So I am going to redo all that part.
