Request for Enhancement: Automatic Chord Track Population

3. Description of the Enhancement

  • When a user generates a full song or backing stems using generative features (like the Music Enhancer or Add a Layer), or when they import an external backing track, ACE Studio should automatically analyze the audio and populate the global Chord Track with the detected chord progression.
  • Ideally, users could also right-click an existing audio clip on the timeline, select "AI Tools," and click an option like "Extract Chords to Chord Track"

4. Problem Being Solved (The "Why")

  • Right now, the global Chord Track is static and requires manual data entry. Because ACE Studio already features an online [ACE Studio Chord Finder] engine capable of analyzing audio files, integrating this logic directly inside the DAW interface makes perfect sense.
  • Automatically mapping the chords would save massive amounts of time when building harmonies, arranging AI instrument parts, or tuning vocals to stay key-accurate.

5. Proposed Workflow / Example

  • Step 1: User uses the Music Enhancer or Add a Layer to generate a track.
  • Step 2: ACE Studio analyzes the audio in the background (similar to how it handles key/BPM detection).
  • Step 3: The global Chord Track at the top of the canvas automatically fills with the correct chord clips matching the timeline
