Logic pro x 11 has got the chord track back.
Does anyone have an idea how to get the chord names from BIAB into logic's chord track.
I just tried the new session player and am not particularly impressed.

If you create a midi chord track in Biab and drag it into Logic it should be able to get the chords from it ?
Just right click on an empty mixer track > Edit MIDI > Generate Chord Track

From my experience with the new Logic (11 and 2) so far.
Chord input is clumsy but not impossible. Learning curve not unlike biab.
Microchords are very simple pretty much anywhere in a bar.
No real import I see yet. A video exists on Scaler import. may help if you have a lot in scaler.
I don’t see much use for it otherwise.
As I say, it’s clunky now, but not impossible.
Doubt they would support biab import early.
Perhaps xml, My wish would be iRealPro or BIAB.
You never know.
Muso, the midi track will import but I don’t think it will populate the chord track. I could be wrong.
Some of the conveniences of BIAB chord entry are missing in Logic. I see no real way to do choruses, ending, or other things of that nature. Basically every arrangement is “unrolled” from start to finish. I’m sure there’s some cutting and pasting efficiencies one can learn but it will be more tedious at least at first.
The session musicians are effectively your styles. There is an incredible amount of adjustability to these guys. Perhaps if you spend more time with them you’ll see some usefulness. I think following other tracks (biab .wav, midi) they could be powerful. But there are a limited number of “base” settings for musicians. The overlap with my work (backing tracks for instrumental jazz tunes) is at present pretty sparse.
IMO Styles (real, midi, et) and the supporting tracks (real, midi, super) are what differentiate BIAB significantly from the latest offering. To me this a great power in BIAB I don’t see anywhere else (yet). There are many genres (jazz, world, reggae, Celtic, country, klezmer, etc) well covered in BIAB that are basically absent from AAPL at this point.
It’s definitely an advancement, maybe not the cats meow.
But it should let others know AAPL intends to play in this space. Until it changes its mind
Lets see what the future brings.

thanks, I've seen the scaler trick on youtube, but it's still only one chord per measure.

Song generation with varying similarities to BIAB is becoming more and more common. Several using Ai. But in my opinion they still don't match BIAB. What PG started 25 years ago was like Ai before there was such a thing.

What PG started 25 years ago was like Ai before there was such a thing. The trick is that we're not using AI - we're using actual human intellect to create our content. It sounds real because it is real.
