Arobas Music Guitar Pro 8

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,

With the built in features Guitar Pro 8 can nearly concure with Dorico or Sibellius and is on a really good way to become my favorite transcribing software.
Sounds improved so good since the 7 edition. Only thing thats a bummer is that you need to buy the new version and can´t "upgrade" your old software for a fee. I think it would be more costumerfriendly and would lead more costumers in the newer versions if every launch wouldn´t be a "stand alone"
