The Audio Chord Wizard is an extremely powerful feature that automatically finds chord symbols (C, Fm7 etc.) by analyzing the audio content of a song (MP3/WAV/WMA or CD-audio file). The song can be in a digital file format (MP3/WMA/WAV), one that you created in PowerTracks, or directly loaded from a CD. In addition to the chords, the Audio Chord Wizard also automatically determines the bar lines and a Tempo map.
Use this feature to instantly play along to your favorite songs, by reading and printing the chord symbols.
PG Music has added real audio drums to PowerTracks! This allows you to instantly create audio drums tracks with real recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. These are not "samples," but are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other tracks. For example, choose a “brushes” style, and you will now hear lush Jazz brushes, or choose “RockGrunge” for a heavier sound. The results are dramatically better than MIDI. They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer. Many RealDrums styles with PowerTracks, and 5 RealDrums sets are available.
These features open up exciting new possibilities for your work with PowerTracks, such as
- easily learn to play MP3 songs, by seeing the chords displayed in PowerTracks by the Audio Chord Wizard
- Navigate "musically" around the MP3 song easily, by clicking on bars in the Chords Window, instead of having to navigate to precise times in minutes: seconds. For example, if you know that the bridge of a tune begins with a Gm7 chord, just look at the chords window, and you see the Gm7 chord, which you know indicates the start of the bridge. So if your bass player says "let's try it again, from the Gm7", you just click on that bar. Or highlight a section of bars and loop that for practice.
- Sync up the bar lines from an MP3, so that your PowerTracks sequence follows the exact tempos from the MP3 file.
- Generate RealDrums or other new tracks to add to an existing MP3 or old recording. The added parts will be exactly in sync, because it follows the original tempos from the MP3 file. For example, you could add a RealDrums drum track to an old recording that didn't have drums. Or a MIDI string part.
- Or sing along to the MP3 file, and use the included TC-Helicon harmonies to add audio harmonies (that will follow the chords from the MP3 file that Audio Chord Wizard figured out!!)

Improvements in Audio Chord Wizard 2.0 (from version 1.0)
- Detection of up to 2 chords per bar
- Much improved chord detection accuracy
- Improved tempo tracking, ability to tap in a few bar lines during playback and tempo often locks to bar lines for the whole song.
- Faster operation, including screen redraws and analysis.
- Precise “Floating-point” tempos like 120.514 beats per minute
PowerTracks now supports floating-point tempos, such as 120.514 BPM. This makes it easier to sync MIDI tracks to prerecorded audio tracks if the audio tracks weren’t recorded exactly at an integer tempo. This also is what lets PT play a song in sync to an existing audio track after the Audio Chord Wizard has worked its magic.
- Song Lyrics (or other block of text) can be appended to Lead Sheet and printout

- Split MIDI drums
This command will split a MIDI drum track to individual separate tracks. Custom settings allow you to control which notes go to which track.
- Auto-Backup of your SEQ files.
When you save a file, PowerTracks now saves a backup of the file in a c:\PT\PTBACKUP folder. This doesn’t add any time to the file-save command, and the number of backups is configurable. So the next time that you mistakenly overwrite a file when saving, go the backup folder to look for a saved previous copy!
- Automatic “cross fading” when pasting audio.
This smoothes out a paste, so that no audible “Clicks” are heard at splice points of pastes.

The Frontier Design Tranzport® is a wireless remote control hardware unit (Electronic Musician Editors' Choice 2006) that now allows you to control PowerTracks 12 (and Band-in-a-Box 2007) through walls from 30 feet away!
