I used Guitar Pro 7 and now 8. I absolutely love this program. It has made analyzing, transcribing, and even transposing pieces so much easier. There is definitely a learning curve. That's not a criticism of Guitar Pro, either. The application is so robust, and has so many features that you can do just about anything. Any time you have that much control at your fingertips there will be a learning curve. That is far better than having no real options or control.

0:14 Keep in mind that adding an audio track (while a great thing) might conflict with #9 (05:22) of using repeat signs. For example, if the audio track was recorded from a live performance, not recorded with a click track, the musician will most likely have slight variations in the tempo of their playing when repeating sections of the song. This means the notes in that repeated section can be synced perfectly the first time through, but on subsequent repeats the score and the audio track will almost certainly get out of sync. For this reason, I often remove the repeat symbols and write the score out to its full length without repeating within the score. Yes, this makes the overall length of the score longer, but it's the only way to assure the score stays in sync with the audio track for the full duration of the song. Until I figured this out, it was driving me crazy. I'd often sync the first time through a repeated section, but it would be out of sync of the second (or third) time through the repeat. If I'd then sync the second time through, I would "break" the synchronization that I had done on the first time through that section. I finally figured out I could not use repeated sections in the score unless the audio track was played by the musician at a perfectly matched tempo on each pass of any repeated section. Again, the solution was to live with a "longer score" and simply not repeat any sections within the score... write out the score as one continuous event, just like the audio track is one continuous event. You're welcome. 😋

An oddity with GP8 in windows is that when playing through USB audio, there is a loss of the first note after a rest. So, if a score has a quarter note rest, the 1st 16th note of a phrase will not play. You can take the same score, play it through musescore, and there will be no loss of the note. There is also no loss if played through Realtek at the headphone jack. Since the loss only occurs with GP8 using usb audio, and not musescore using usb audio, the problem has to be with GP8. If another track is ran concurrently and a single full note muted on the audio track, the loss does not occur.

Thanks for these tips! I'm brand new to Guitar Pro and this really helps- a lot!!

Suggestion : In next update can you add a function via which rhythm proportion affects while in multitrack view as well . Currently Rhythm proportion option only works when you are viewing a single track. In multi track view it stops working.

Can we get a color scheme for the constant, unchangeable, spotlight white background?

please guide about multirest and adding next bar

Hi, please help me to find the PAGE BREAK (if i want to have on one page 4 lines, on the other 8 lines). how can i do it? thank you

David, I have Guitar Pro 8, I want to keep the tuning of the tablature but change the fingering (only) to Eb because my guitar is tuned to Eb?

Thanks for the video. One question-how do i change the "f" note the from the e string to the b string. I have read through the user guide and found everything but that. Thanks in advance.

Cant believe there is not a simple way of adding multiple bars... Amazing...

David Wallimann I'm working on the intro to Moving on by Missouri how do I get the sound Synth brass +string sound- keyboard on Guitar pro 8 I'm started setting up Moving on by Missouri Guitar pro 8 and putting audio file of the song its about 1-15 bars I need your help You can use this as example

Drums question, unrelated sort of, but can anyone more proficient with Drums help me understand the difference between High Floor Tom, Low Floor Tom and Very Low Tom. It's quite confusing in GP. Apart from a slight pitch change it's hard to understand visually which drum kit part they are suppose to be... In a standard Drum Rock kit, which Guitar Pro Toms would be the more accurate normal Floor Tom? Thanks!

Is there a way to record from MIDI keyboard with notes lengths (with rythm/"online"/in real time, not step by step as earlier) or is it still not implemented in last version of Guitar Pro?

Does anyone know how to synchronize a song in GP8 if there is a change in BPM? In Maneskin - Beggin the song starts very slow (I think it was 50) and then goes up to 134bpm. Even though in the tabs I change the backing track stays at 50bpm for the whole song 😓

Great video. Thanks David. I was just wondering if it is possible to repeat all instruments accept one. I want to do transcribe my solo into my score but the rhythm is repeated by the repeat sign x4. Is there a way to keep the repeat for the other instruments but at the same time allowing me to transcribe the whole solo without repeating the lead guitar[solo] section?

I'm sorry we had to drag you out of bed after a hard night of drinking to make this video. We'll try to give you more notice next time. We'll even buy you a comb. Haaaaaa! 😅🤣😂

Can you get more than one track on the same page

9:44 - I'm unable to do this in GP8. How do you bulk change a certain chord in a score?

I just figured out how to get more than one track on one page fn + f3 or in the tool bar click view scroll down to multitrack

If I have 2 tracks, say Guitar & Bass. The Guitar starts at Bar 1 & the Bass at Bar 4. How do I show on the Bass track, the first 3 bars as 1 bar like this |---3---| ? I have seen this in tablature books & on websites. Is it possible in Guitar Pro 8?

Great tips, great hair.

I guess this is very basic: How do I add notes on the left side of the current note? Currently, if I miss a note, I delete the notes until I get to the position I need to be 😅

Can we convert pdf sheet in to guitar pro format ?

Great, but I can see this in the software, you need to show HOW TO DO stuff, not just refer to it in the menus.
