Arobas Music Guitar Pro 8

i´ve been using this program since GP4.
As been always an useful tool to create/transcribe and whatever you want to do regarding composition specially for rock/metal stuff.
The interface makes the program pretty straight forward and easy to use.
Also you have a nice amount of instruments to add to the sheet. Of course, the sounds are not the same as a professional notation software but the sound engine had a nice evolution in the last versions.

Since I was a child I wanted that product so much.

At that time the Guitar Pro 4 was released& I always wanted it.

Finally, I achieved to get myself the Guitar Pro 8& it has so many features:

+ Useful tool for easy creation of own scores and accompaniments, for learning to play and practicing, etc.

+ Suitable for three- to ten-string instruments with up to 24 frets
Load and play an audio file with tempo and pitch adjustment for transcribing songs, as a practice or backing track

+ Virtual pedalboard with numerous integrated effects

+Focus / Unfocus function changes the level of the currently selected track by a defined value and thus creates a volume difference from the other tracks

+Visual metronome for visual tempo indication

+ Individually adjustable relative values for length, position, and velocity per note allow for precise adjustments

+ Simple mixer for drumset

+ Pre-listening function for sound banks

+ Editable score layout with numerous design options

+ Tablature, standard, or slash notation

+ Composition tools such as chord and scale display

+ Set up bars and layout with key, rhythm playback, bar repeats, repeat signs, coda, segno, repeat transitions, and section names (verse, chorus, bridge.), etc.

+Notation of note durations, triplets, x-tools, rests, dynamic signs, accents, tied notes, fingerings for the left and right hand, upstrokes and downstrokes, bar chords, note stems, and ligatures

+ Comments, texts, and fingering diagrams can be inserted into the score

+Playback effects such as note decay, palm mute, natural and artificial harmonics, bends, tremolo bars, vibratos, slides, hammer-on, pull-off, tapping, slapping, hopping, brushes, rasguedo, sledge notes, trills, tremolos, crescendo/decrescendo and fade in/fade out

+ Note input via the numeric keypad, mouse, or MIDI

+ Import and export ASCII and MIDI files as well as MusicXML

+ Export of PDF and PNG as well as MP3, WAV, FLAC, and Ogg files

+ 13 different program languages selectable

+ You are even able to use scores found on YouTube which are gpx., gp1/2/3/4, and so on

There are so many hidden functions or easter eggs, and I recommend you try them out.

This notation application is not only for guitarists.

5 of 5 stars.

So thankful to be able to get this application.

Faithfully,

Habe lange gezögert, die knapp 70 EUR zu investieren und lange mit der TablEdit Demo-Version meine Tabs erstellt. Aber seit ich GuitarPro nutze muss ich sagen, dass es sein Geld absolut wert ist.
Nicht nur, dass man damit professionelle Tabs erstellen kann, ein absolutes Highlight ist, dass man sehr gut damit üben kann. Anstatt sich mühsam und zeitraubend die richtigen Tabs zu einem Lied, das man üben möchte, zu Fuß zusammen zu suchen und dann im Tabulatur-Editor in die richtige Form zu tippen, geht man auf Ultimateguitar.com und lädt sich dort zu dem Lied die GuitarPro-Tabs (*.gp*) herunter und hat in den allermeisten Fällen eine sehr akkurate Tabulatur. Mit der Looper-Funktion und dem skalierbaren Tempo wird dann das Üben zu einer maximal komfortablen Angelegenheit. Man hat sogar meistens noch die übrigen Spuren, also Vocals, Bass, Drums etc. mit im GuitarPro-Tab stehen, was das ganze zusätzlich enorm bereichert. ALles in allem wirklich ein Top-Programm für Musiker.
