Exploring new melodies and learning to play and create my own compositions

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: One of the features that I appreciate the most is the realistic sound reproduction. Being able to hear how each note, chord, and riff sounds on different instruments has helped me improve my playing and techniques.

Pros:

One of the things that has fascinated me the most is the versatility and ease that it offers to edit and create tablatures and scores, but what has really impressed me is the possibility of reproducing the compositions that I have created, since in this application I can faithfully reproduce the sound of each instrument, allowing me to hear how each chord, each arpeggio and each solo sounds.

Cons:

Sometimes when I try to edit an existing chord or add a new one I find it a bit cumbersome and not as intuitive as other features within the software. It would be great to have a more intuitive and friendly interface for chord editing, simplifying the process and increasing efficiency.

Guitar Pro The Melody to Your music career

5.0 last year

Comments: It is a great software to learn the basics to the advanced functions of guitar and make music like never before , i'll personally suggest every beginners who is eager to create something with guitar must go with this software.

Pros:

There are plenty of things i could write about guitar pro as far as i have experienced , some impactful features are :-1.Easy syncing of music 2. Adding of instruments is too easy3. Bsic import export features are too easy to use being a user friendly guitar tool it is the best way to create your best work into reality . By using guitar pro 8 , i literally seen a sudden change in my music quality anfd confidence over the chords.

Cons:

One thing i don't like about guitar pro is it's lag while importing multiple audio file in one go , it creates a distorted frequency notes which is annoying.

Super Useful

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: It has been a very good experience using Guitar Pro. I have been using it since Guitar Pro 3 came out and I am still using Guitar Pro and can easily say that there is no any other software like Guitar Pro for making and editing music.

Pros:

It is super useful to create music as well as learn music. You can get tons of gp files in the internet to import and learn the music. You can also convert the midi files to mp3 which I use to import music in my playlist. It is also very useful to make your own music from scratch.

Cons:

Sometimes guitar pro gets stuck and closes unexpectedly.

Helpful Song writer

3.0 7 years ago

Pros:

I like this software. It helps me with my guitar arrangements and putting my music to paper. It has a lot of options to make life easier and does a great job of that! I like the Tab-editing also.

Cons:

They changed the Pro 7 up and the interface gets confusing. I'm getting used to the new interface, but why change what's working.
