Press the Song Settings button or select Edit | Settings (for This Song).
Choose a number of bars to fade out (press the [Fade] button to insert 6 bars of fade, or choose your own).
Now the song will fade out at the end!
Let’s visit the improved Audio Chord Wizard.
The Audio Chord Wizard now has a full chord sheet, allowing you to see the whole song at once, and you can
insert part markers to delineate the sections.
This means that you can learn the chords of the song while also seeing the form of the song with the sections
divided up.
This may become your “preferred method” of learning Pop tunes:
- Load the tune (MP3) into AudioChordWizard,
- put in the part markers,
- look at the sections to learn the form of the tune, and (of course),
- learn the chords!
And navigate musically by clicking on bars of a chord sheet with chords, instead of a timeline on a waveform!
Press the Audio Chord Wizard button to launch the Audio Chord Wizard.
Choose an audio file (WAV/WMA/MP3/CDA from audio CD). For this discussion, open up c:\bb\Tutorial
BB2007\Frontier.MP3
You will now see the song, and the new Lead Sheet window in the Audio Chord Wizard is visible.
Press <Spacebar> to play the song.
As the song plays, when the downbeat of a new bar starts, hit the Enter key (or F8).
This is called “tapping in a bar line.”
The first time you do that, the program will consider that point to be “bar 1.” Tap in a few more bar lines.
Click on the chord sheet, and the music will jump to that location.
Now, let’s define some sections in the song.
If a bar begins a new section, click on the bar # on the chord sheet, or press the P key to put in a part marker.
Pressing P again will change the part marker, and then turn it off.
Now the song is divided into sections, with space between each section, and each section starting on a new line.
