Spent some serious time with this feature over the past days. Have to admit I needed to go to the video Demo (see insert).

This app is a beast, so powerful, so promising, but at the same time so difficult to accomplish the goal of creating a full backing chart from a audio .mp3 file. I thought I could just wing it, but too many details. The video tutorial was really helpful. But at this time, while I can't say it can't be done. I can say I can't do it - well at least with ACW alone.

It really takes a high level of skill to really understand a challenging song. In this case the project was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ0pXUb5jVU

The song is played rubato with a mixture of 2/4 and 4/4 bars. Of course ACW is no help with this detail.
The chords were easy to locate on the web. However, I was not happy with the chords the ACW pulled up. I think the vocals confuse both bar assignments and chord ID. I spent a day trying to do it with the ACW and my ear before I went and got the sheet music. Humbling to realize how poor my ears are.

I am not done yet, it likely will just take a lot more time.

Just sharing. grin
