you ever get this figured out? i am having the same exact problems and tried the same steps

[Bomberomusician]

@mmmofti Yes, the answer is that NO PROGRAM can figure out chords perfectly. Especially when the song is complex and not just the basic minor and major chords. So the answer is that this wizard can't do what it claims

@usta4070 I totally don't agree, I have found that it works extremely well, better than other programs that claim to do the same thing. I can even take a drum and bass song and get doable chords with this program. I do however agree it is never on tempo, but the chords are right to a certain extend although you need to sift out quite a few slash chords. If you want it to analyse complex jazz chords that are open to a lot of interpretation then I think that is just asking too much.

I agree there's no program that can accurately figure out chords. I tried several and gave up. The ones I've tried weren't even close.

The audio chord wizard is a great concept but unfortunately, it's very inaccurate. I've tried setting the markers on the down beat and also tried setting it on the actual guitarist chord changes, using hendrix all along the watchtower as the sample song to be diagnosed. Biab can't figure out the correct chords or how to interpret the chords for conversion. In short- it doesn't work and PG music really botched the ACW feature. That's why I never pay for software until after I try it.
