All user reviews for the Arobas Music Guitar Pro 5

There were no compatibility issues under Windows XP and 7.
It has the typical configuration setup like any other notation software, as well as a really easy setup. The only counterpart (for me at least) was the MIDI controller setup, since it never accepted my MIDI controller.
Nice user interface and easy to use, since it's really intuitive.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

As regards stability, sometimes I had an issue about an error message coming up on the screen after a long usage, and not only a single window, but a hundred of them one after the other. This issue was partially solved after the 5.2 update, but kept showing an error message after using it for a long period of time (at least, it was just one windows instead of a hundred).
Another problem that I have, is that I cannot add more than 9 different instruments to the composition, because after the 10th it starts cloning all the instruments (by example, if after the 10th instrument, which is a church organ, I try to add a string ensemble, both of them will be a string ensemble and so on).


OVERALL OPINION

Even after all the problems I mentioned above, I can assure you that I won't replace this program with any other and worths every cent spent on it. It's really easy to use and let's you compose freely, altough it has some limitations since it's designed for guitar compositions, but there's always a turn around for such problem (for example, if you want to compose a piano score, you'll need to add two pianos, one for the right hand with the guitar tuning for the higher notes, and another one for the left hand with the bass tuning for the lower ones). Composing was never easier than now with this software, and I can asure you, that once you learn how to use it, you won't know how to work without it, specially if you work with MIDI.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few years now.

Software already good, but could have been more fun if it was finalized.
I mean by that is fine to offer chorus, reverb, but it should at least give them something on the instrument.
I end the negative points with countless bugs and problems of this software, I'll even make me happy to list all the problems I encountered:
- Error message then ALL TRACKS FULLY (most common) with the key sometimes unable to save the file.
- Unable to save file ... Ah ... I just build for two hours ...
- The sound in a loop on a measurement while visually it normally takes place
- Save the file. Closing the software. Ah, well, no, it was not recorded, actually.
- MIDI tracks often offset with CSR ... Simply adjust the latency settings but we need to know!


Apart from these occasional bugs, the software is easy to learn, and I am satisfied since I got it. The CSR brings still more quality than MIDI, and even if it applies to bass, drums and guitar, this is a plus.
Importing MIDI is 2 out of 3 correctly with measures well structured. Export opportunities are also good to take.

Wholesale ... Good software. But back often!

Installation is simple and classic.
The interface is a bit old.
The use is done quickly and without need to read the manual.
Entry in tablature is faster and easier than in music theory

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

This software is not greedy and does not need to have a "racing machine".
stable and predictable but I regret that one is forced to return the agreements one by one on the partition if you will even appear on behalf of them on the score. Very big waste of time to ultimately have a single partition with a melody line and chords noted above!

OVERALL OPINION

+ Can export to PDF, bmp, MDI, ...
+ Libraries with chord recognition and proposed different fingerings.
- Interface sad and a little dated (on the new revamped version)

No problem for the instalation. You click, it works!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Small problem regarding reading a lot of functionality (practices) have t delete them (you can not do anything after reading activated the simplicity of reading: depui the beginning, the current measurement. .. The software requires a lot of resources, and sometimes s'arrte disaster.
But CSR is (basically the software reads sound files) is Vraimment INTERESTED. and some new features are plutt INTERESTED (addition of specific software plug-in)
So follow the updates, bug fixes ...

Windows 2000 with 256 Ram and a small processor CSR is unusable (MIDI it is correct). With the most powerful pro CSR is acceptable although the CPU is running at full rgime.

With XP, 256 Ram (at least) and a good processor, everything is coutable

OVERALL OPINION

59 euro is the price for a product that offers great possibilities. While I regret the prcedente version, much more pratique.Et the implementation are the days!

Installation is alone ... Take the opportunity to look for tabs on the net lol
No incompatibility meeting.
Trs simple when you know the previous version!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am running XP with 1 GB of RAM and Intel Centrino.
GP5 impeccable work on it!

OVERALL OPINION

It must be 2 moisque I install.
I love the sound CSR, we have changed the old MIDI broke the co ... ears lol
I use Guitar Pro for GP3, so I know a lot of bte ...
For 59, not bad, but a little cheaper t have fun.

Bah, nothing to say, really should be maimed, blind and have the IQ of an amoeba to plant to the installation of such software.
No inconsistency, but a CSR (their new Systm of a hair sample wobbly)
When the manual ... Where is he? I use it going from the GTP version 2

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Not too many changes from version 4, more fun Aesthetics.
Functions were lugging a menu to another, but nothing major
...
If the CSR, I was not expecting a monster, but at least has something usable out of it mdiocre quality level and a more cracks, while a loaded flush with the Cubase SE face samples in VSTi and does not ... There's something l.
In short, I shunt back to the good old sounds of bases GTP, was enough to work

OVERALL OPINION

Bah GTP, almost indispensable tool in the scratch, I used to compose, to work qq occasions from time to time, shame about the so-called CSR rvolution of falls in the water

Installation: simplicity itself.
The same note is that if you want to use it as a partition editor and the sound you do not care, do not install the CSR allourdi installing at least 300MB.

No inconsistency.

Manual: sufficient to configure the software.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Same view that others in the CSR, it is a novelty of little importance. The sound is much more raliste n effect on the partition crack demo but when there are five instruments.
I have the impression that reading is imperceptible jerk.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for 5 hours but I know its small ERRF for over 3 years and GTP has always been of great service.
I used to write the rhythms of drums a little difficult to get a glimpse canal. This software is also used for each of the musicians in our group Crivi its parts, or for arrangements to share the findings of some files in KB per email.
As you can see I used mainly to write the battery and the new version brings some interresting inovations trs: we just finally view and print without the tabs and use the "low grade" in order to separate the rhythmic foot and hand on the same door, there are references to management style scores Capo Coda Segno.
It yammer the possibility of write the partition from a midi interface such as a keyboard but I have not tested yet.
For drummers, systematically eliminate the humanization of the game or you will feel that the battery is rhythmically wrong

Overall for 60 you have a simple software (concept of rhythm essential solfge), efficient, complete even for non-guitarists.

No problems, no problems, it works.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I installed it on a laptop (Pentium 4 2GHz, 512MB RAM) and it runs quiet.
CSR just takes a bit of resources but to be honest I can not find this feature amazing.
The sounds offered by this function are actually poor quality and some of my partitions they alter their understanding (especially with heavy distortion)

OVERALL OPINION

I am user of this software for a few days but I am very familiar with earlier versions.

There are actually some improvements, the key to my mind are:
- Rating and the overall presentation of the score / tablature (closer to those found in stores)
- Management of "copy, paste, select ..." who is now with the mouse with a "click / drag."
- Can enter the score through a MIDI instrument (keyboard or guitar equipped with a sensor) through the capture mode noon (note for note only damage)
- The small bonus rather insignificant, the wha wha.
It is very clear that Guitar Pro 5 is not very different from the version 4 except CSR and improvements that do not disfigure the software.
This is why it will not revolutionize the world of publishing tablature and, consequently, I think version 4 is still time before her to retire.

For just under 60 euros, we can please the publisher of Guitar Pro, Which means that I find this product a little expensive for what it is. A 40 euro 30 see why not.

To summarize:

The "plus":
-The various improvements mentioned above for ease of use.
The "less":
- Price
- The CSR is more a toy than anything else unnecessary, fun nonetheless.

Installation:
No problem: there just click and follow the instructions.

Performance:
This works great on a centrino 1.8 with 1GB Ram.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The CSR:
I love the CSR system that uses actual samples (included) to play the guitar parts, bass and drums. Many feel that this unit is poorly designed. This is the first version of the CSR then patience. I recall that early versions Cubase VST and Audio, it crachouillait as severe ... Moreover, it also works well on my tests with scores of old (GP3) with the latest news.

For me, being equipped with its poor twelve o'clock (sound card of the laptop), I enjoy working pieces of metal sounding "metal" and not organ Bontempià 2 balls.

What if we began to dream of exploiting Arobas Steinberg Virtual Guitarist?

OVERALL OPINION

Top:
The icing on the cake of soft, making it a must for the scratch, it's still mine proposed mysongbook.com pieces. With that, no more scratch beginners who buy a guitar and put it on the shelf a year later. There is always a song to work, more or less difficult depending on the mood of the moment. Finally, note that mysongbook.com is a resource that lives, you will not find the pieces seen and reviewed for years 80-90. Every day, new elements are there!

Conclusion:
I lost the means to afford a teacher for the guitar some time ago: GP4 / GP5 allows me to continue to work. It not replace the teacher, because I have good reflexes chopper and avoid large through with a teacher, but later is better than working on the endless books to EUR 30 + trade without interactivity .

So Bravo to the north ch'tits guys!

Finally, I do not agree with those who find the high price. This app is pledged tools and features, it does its job well, it does not bug (or so), and it is followed and maintained. A + MS Winword to EUR 300 without support, that's a soft price!

PS:

I am not paid by Arobas!

-The installation is very simple and I have not had any problem in this one!
-There is a small trick that m'nerve (I made a dirty head when I 'nerv !!!!), it from the Play / Stop button, the tempo and almost all other buttons is that sometimes, a "hang" (I clicked and then realizes he must jme click again to make it work !).... The worst is that is not all Time is imprvisible!
"It's pretty simple to configure, even when there is little known musical concept!
-Enough!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

"I vieu a PC (but it works, and enough for me), my config is in my profile if anyone is INTERESTED!
He trs train sometimes but not often, I can use it without rowing as a rapper (they are too often in vApps !!!!)
-Bah, its asset RSID in the CSR, the Grail of the software, which allows for a distortion of the sound rather than a saxophone, that's all can say!
-Not too much, from the ream of pitit problem, this software is quite delicious!

OVERALL OPINION

I use comes from and I am extremely happy, my guards compounds are well
-The CSR is the MUST software, otherwise I would have taken a freeware but too INTERESTED!
-Bah, a single silent freeware sucks, and I was advised GP5!
I-60 GP5 prfere redeem myself a game video, report qualitprix trs INTERESTED!
-Of course, like any satisfied users of this wonderful software!

GuitarPro 5

Installation without any glitch, even on an old pc (except maybe the CSR requires a minimum).

The software is sufficient in itself because the proposed aid is perfect (I still struggle with the aid of software, you know F1? But this is the cake).

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Perfect.

I have a laptop that has two years, I bought it because it is convenient but not a laptop, I was not in the idea of ​​making a machine sound. Basically level sound card, I do not know where I am, but it works!

It is a tool (it is providing training could not be more helpful) to build or to write his tablature or sheet music (treble clef or F) or see what others were expecting.

Your tons of instruments which each (at least) a sound by CSR. (Percussion are also there!).

Sufficient number of runs (12 max I think). With opportunities to choose the color for each of them, it's very convenient.

Effects: Chorus Phaser, Reverb, Tremolo + WahWah (open, closed, bypass), it also has a balance (left-right) and volume

It is known to make bends, syncope, choose any tempo (but really any of 1 to 400), level of strength of high pianissimo fortissimo piano, rehearsing with coda, cut copy paste option perfect for slides, the vibrato, the hammers and pull-offs, harmonics creshendo, the grace notes, the palm-mute ... It's enough fun, and above all, well build and then listen to what happens.

Level, CSR ...
I did not find useful ... Not great but certainly made the sound foun 'standard' is sufficient. We do not ask to hear a cd from GuitarPro.

I use it especially to set up the solos (by cutting other tracks or what. And above all, with M. students which is great is that GP is a kind of drum machine, just build the battery and here we go (in midi, but here we go).

OVERALL OPINION

A real asset, a tool ...

I use it for 2 years (not GuitarPro 5) makes it a great teacher for beginners. I would have kept the faith and also again GuitarPro is safe. It is a tool and a great advantage compared to the internet without tablatures rhythms and sometimes without action, a real asset. Obviously it is not free 60 euros but if you hesitate to buy the demo version is valid for 30 days try it!

No problem for installation.
No inconsistency.
The configuration is extremely easy gnrale.
I did not consult the manual because the software is too intuitive.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use a computer to 1GB of ram, but the former (512M I think) it worked just as well. The software works perfectly.
Unless you use it ultrastable ct large software at the same time ...

I do not put the maximum because the CSR is wrong vraimment TRS got I think with all that his cho quickly become unbearable trs. I use prfre MIDI mostly because I do not use THAT low / batery / guitar / vocals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its release, I prfre most is the ease and rapidity with which one puts his chips on the same software can directly deal with!
The report price is plutt good quality to the extent we can draw normment of this software.

- Installation is it without problem?
Easy starts the instalation the only option you can choose if you want it or not sounds rse (little credibility the way)

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
not in XP and Vista it runs without problems

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
yes there is no great options

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
as usual no manual for me ... I use the doc's help only once or two in advance for functions

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
see my profile

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
was no crash of the software (well I do not remember)

- What performance? (If quantifiable)
uh .....
- This software + hardware configuration is stable?

yes no crashes

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
almost a year
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I use it mainly to shape our components and have a general ide.
Then I export the file in fruity noon if I was too lazy to register the guitar to the piano.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
not well, not really in ancient times had a soft (naz) application call micro composer

- How do you report qualitprix?

60E bin for a soft even when it hurts but hey it was always a way to cope
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

I pence, yes it is very very practical

- Installation is it without problem?
Yes. At least on PC. I understand that there is no Mac (too bad it is THE FIRST mac version, and many had to be dcus)

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No incompatibility, but a system that CSR has to load each new track CSR is boring. I also find that GP5 is much less stable than four. It must be the CSR. But it happens from time to time pter a lead and fuck 50 000 before closing windows (sorry, "inopinment leave"). Irritating.

EDIT: I forgot to explain what the CSR is (although it does adj srement explained below). This program allows to make the sounds more practitioner. CSR = Realistic Sound Engine.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
I have a pc so no worries nag. Against it by phone (seems that they are slower).

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
I take back two points for the CSR to load, because it is exasprant to be in front the PC and wait. Otherwise, really no problem.

- What performance? (If quantifiable)
This is the app is that the good rev. The interface is clear, and for beginners or to write an IDE that has Rapidos at the top, it's going to rev faster once you get a little back into the thing.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
It's been about nine months, but I used her little ERRF last year too. GP5 is nice to see that the 4.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

the most:
CSR-sounds, even better than MIDI (for the battery, even when I add a MIDI drum so that we can hear the bass drum). Toms, cymbals, certainly not human, but it should trs well to give an ide of his compositions. I sometimes use the south anyway, but I use less than the CSR.
-There are tens of thousands of tablatures for all groups on the Internet, and GP is a REFERENCE to learn tablature without buying the book of tablature of a particular group.
We can use as the hardware rpt: if you are alone and want to train yourself before a repeated ', or that you are like me you are alone, you can for example the battery and start playing with it. Me who has the problem of rhythm, GP aid me a lot. What's great is that when you are lost, a quick glance tells you the tablature directly o the song is. For this, it gnial.

Cons:
I regret that some of the shortcuts have changed between 4 and 5, m'enfin used to it quickly when even.
-The CSR, which has to load each file or each new instrument CSR.
-The sound of some MIDI tracks down sometimes and then suddenly reappears rebaisse, ca ca has a gift for my nerves (notably the piano on a lull, you think oh it's nice and then hear you ca not the end and suddenly popped up a note, it breaks everything.)

- How do you report qualitprix?
For beginners it's been a lot of money, Yeah. And again.
For an amateur, pro or anything, it's a junk when you see the price of some software. In any event, amateur or pro anyone has this software (which is not a selling point in itself, but hey, it's still a good show quality)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
It feels can be, but I'm a big geek GP, I spent hundreds of hours and I made up of trs headlines (at least in my got ), and just for that, to aid me in music, for giving me a lot psychologically (the Fast Fashion is the best thrapies), I put 10. At that price when you're the beginners, as 60EUR Obviously ca tear ass. But I ca given me so much 60 euros is almost as if you gave me!

In conclusion I would say, it sounds actually not human with the CSR and blablabla, but it sounded perfect, where would the thrill of recording, the pleasure of playing with the effects, or the sensation of pleasure in hearing a real drum banging hard on my guitar parts? This is a "weakness" is actually a strength.

Yes the installation pos na no problem in P4 2.8Ghz, 512 ram, DD80 GB, Windows XP SP2, ordinary sound card (integrated).
no inconsistency scores to date.
the configuration is really comfortable I think.
the help is clear and precise.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The configuration of my PC as mentioned above is:
P4 2.8Ghz, 512 ram, DD80 GB, Windows XP SP2, ordinary sound card (integrated), CG nvidia FX5200.

it works perfectly, no bug or problem reported until now.
the sound is really not bad, still lacks some realism, but it changes a lot of his midday on older versions! c more comfortable. quantifying performance n is not obvious, jy back down.

configuration, is perfectly stable, it has never plant! yes, hope it lasts!

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ... quite a long time almost since its release, there is a little over a year? (Time goes so fast!)

what I like:
-Select the playback speed, slow down difficult passages to fully integrate them into his head! or read note by note.
- And of course the function "mute" and "solo" on each track, the IDAL to be accompanied (without moving 4 people toutleurs instruments!), C perfect for fun and especially to work on his sense of rhythm !
c is the primary use that I actually (in addition to learning to play new material and technical)
- The dictionary of chords and scales, very rich.
-Configuration of bends, it makes what we want!
Improves the print-on tabs
-The standard display (solfege) it helps for those who want to learn!

However, I regret that we can not choose the background color display (available on the old version) the white is quite tiring for the eyes, a gray bcp is already better!

j am very satisfied in all, very handy tool and very useful, the ideal ^ to improve, or start, and dial!

the price quality ratio seems correct, we do not regret of having chosen a choice again without hesitation!

voila!! enjoy!

The instalation is quiet ... The rest is hard to judge since I use guitar pro version 3 premierre ... As for the manual I did not know there was one ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The config of my pc is ok but it has already turned on the beautiful shit ...
The program runs just impeccable ... sometimes ... He decided to peter and a cable to display dozens of fenettres as if it was the feast ... to say a message that is useless ... There's the only hope we have a recent backup ... because it redemarage the programe ...
Another concern is that it is confined effectively to the guitar, so it is very limited in the number of octaves available ... it's heavy, you can not write a score for organ ... shame ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ... I know ... 5? 6 years?
lol maybe even 7
aucunbe ide in fact, I already do not remember not how long I'm with my nana when ca ....
The thing I like least is the CSR, that's the shit ... baterie I use when I write a crate roughly 35, 38 snare drums and drum kit I put 16 (try to see) the one really feel that the type of bangs mercurial ... CSR with anything we hear nothing ....
the one before so I jou 3 on the 3.5 (I think that's the figure) the 4, 4.5
for the quality price ratio, I thought for three years it was free ... lol nan but seriously it's cheap for what it is ...
yes I remake this choice with the experience ... I find that I need ...

Yes no worries of ct

OVERALL OPINION

6 months now. Between the notes does not work on my keyboard roland.
He makes clear partitions, but too expensive for what it is. It is not better than its equivalent in freeware. Support me even more rpond, probably unable to resolve problems that I have submitted. What mpris while purchasing a license allowed me to accder support. I gained a few courses that I teach in an association where I had about a unofficial version. I accept the.
I really regret this purchase.
