Hey dudes, just purchased my copy of guitar pro 5 and was wonderin wat u guys think?
i think it is absolutely awesome!!
i lv the new real sound emulator thing! kicks the shit outta MIDI!
if u haven't got it, go and get it! it rocks
:bang:

oh didnt knew about new version. tnx i'll check

eMule here i come

downloading... B)

I've been using Guitar Pro for some time now, and I must say the new way of displaying notations and tabs in GP5 is REALLY neat. Printing has also been improved in the new version. It looks great, in my opinion. [Image]

I've got mixed feelings about the RSE engine though. It really sucks for metal or distortion in general, though the clean sounds are impressive. The drum samples are the worst though. They're really fucked up and unbalanced. It's a start though, but I'll still be using MIDI. I hope ForteMP works for GP5...

I'd give GP5 an 8/10 rating. It's a decent app, works great for song-writing; but the whole RSE thingy was way over hyped. Guitar Pro 5 is close to perfection.

Oh, and wah-wah is teh fun. :P

well you guys I use tabit... and alot of midi sounds sucks in general but I use sound fonts I have Les Paul sound font that would cost 30 bucks... Sound fonts are for keyboards and shit and I guess thats how bands like dream theater get the keyboard to have such an amazing dist sound....ummm goodle creative sound font bank manager... then cool soundfont downloads... check it out their really cool ill put some samples

:no:

seems i gotta get better computer. that thing blows my pagefile, require too much resources

Ok i got GP5 now and i must say the guitar tone is kinda poor but its a step ahead so hopefully GP6 will sound alot better

they didnt fix the hammers and pulls

Seems abit buggy for me. When i go to stop it from playing it doesnt always do it the first time, and when i press X to close it it doesnt close all the time

Thats wat ya get for downloadin it illegally

Actually its the exact program but i just got a different CD KEY.

Also most programs that are released have afew bugs in them thats why the release other versions like v5.01.345 or whatever

Sounds like a hardware problem. I've got no problems at all with 1gb ram and a 2ghz 64bit CPU.

Nothing wrong my PC. Brand new top of the range, i picked it myself so i know i got a good one

well it seems to work for everyone else!
but i get the feelin fuct will not b wrong again....

You are right, Sir FucT is always right (I got promoted from Master FucT at the FucT accademy)


Anyway about the program, it really isnt that bad but the guitar sound is terrible thats been over said

Yup, the RSE sucks. Still, GP5 is not about the sounds. It's a great tool for reading and writing tabs.

It's also great for making backing tracks. Just export your GP file as .midi then import the midi file in Fruity Loops or whatever program you prefer and assign some nice soundfonts to it. I made some leet 'tallica backing tracks yesterday doing that. :)

yea if you guys listen to the thing I uploaded with the sound font manager its a great back track!!

Yes the sound isn't all that fantastic but its better than midi at least. Its pretty cool to play along too!
:bang:
