Looks really nice, gonna try it out

 

[MetalJonesy]

wow, radical GUI change!

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Downloading the demo, nice!

 

[updog]

I think I'm gonna finally buy this.


Sick of using tuxguitar

 

[muckypup1]

It certainly looks nice I'm also getting sick of tuxguitar haha

The new UI works really nicely, and the addition of tabs is something I've wanted for a long time. Unfortunately you can't open any other files than the examples in the demo :zombie:

Oh balls. Won't run on my Powerbook

I'm not sure of what you're talking about here... It seems to me that the combined tabs/regular score writing/reading has always been in GP, at least for versions 4 and 5...

Are you talking about some new feature i missed or something ?

 

[FloridaRolf]

I think he means opening multiple tabs in a single instance of Guitar Pro, like tabs for internet browsers

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

What FloridaRolf said, tabs as in a web browser, not as in tabulature Also, I just noticed there's a load of amp sims, pedals and some compressors there too

Ah OK ! Didn't see that feature (very useful IMO). I was mistaking "tabs as Internet browser tabs" as "tabs as guitar tabs".

 

[muckypup1]

Whoa, thats pretty cool A bit pointless but I like the idea of having amp sims in the tab program

 

[Harry Hughes]

Totally gonnna buy this, hot damn

 

[Petrocker]

Woho! Looks rad!

 

[Ermz]

Woah, looks like Logic or summin'.

 

[narcossintese]

I´m messing with the demo here. So far, not impressed at all. In fact, it sucks! The worst thing is that it looks like you can´t write the drums on the tab using the midi note number anymore (like 36 for kick, 38 for snare, etc).

They invested all the new features on giving the stupid RSE system a boost. You know, the ridiculous sampler. Now it has some crappy ampsim devices, as if people who use GuitarPro were worried about making pleasant sounding midi files instead of using it as a writting tool to track real stuff on a real DAW later.

Damn, they got it all wrong. It is so sad.

Gave the demo a try...

I'm fine with it, but where the hell is the keyboard? I always have both the fretboard (which is now named "instrument panel", apparently) and the keyboard visible when I compose.

 

[ParsonsMatt]

I'm still using Guitar Pro 4 here... 5 was fucking awful in comparison.

This looks like "more shit I don't need to write a song", so not going to bother! If I do upgrade, I'm getting Sibelius or Finale or something

 

[Urgul]

GUI looks rad but I'm worried what you are saying about its functionality I have to try it soon.
