All user reviews for the Power Tab v1.x

Installation very simple (which is an installation, ie: you click, you choose a folder, it installs!
No incompatibility (of 2 configuration diffrent which a silent low-end laptop).
Configuration gnrale fairly simple and fairly close to guitar pro, so Quick.
Only BMOL this software, as aid is in English! So connatre ever so slightly the language of Shakespeare is more than useful!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Power Tab (until proven otherwise) works on all configurations (I think even he could work on a Game Boy!: P).
This performance approaches that of the Guitar Pro, by the number of tracks, and the fact that there is no battery. But hey, this is a tablature editor what!
The point at least, that's some bugs in the seizure of certain notes (like the 6, on all the lines that do rtrcir the size of the measure, but it's good ngligeable! ).

OVERALL OPINION

I use this program since I've Discoveries (4 years ago) and frankly I'm really super happy knowing that in addition it is totally free!
What I do use it, is that it is a little prs as good as Guitar Pro (edition, reading, printing tabs, etc. ....), and even a few points better ! Namely:
- Being able to implement several measures in same time a type of effect (Palm mute, harmonics, transposition of ropes or hoops, or both, .....).
-The fact that the rendering of effects is more Russian than pro Guitar (vibrato effects, the slides (all!), Harmonics (where the little notes to choose the rendering difficult to obtain such as "pinch harmonics" or any natural harmonics of sleeves!).
-Having the tab and the corresponding door just above!
-Being able CRER rhythm tracks just by asking agreements above the door! (No need to write tons of simple rhythmic line and take a crazy place (Maiden fans and others will understand me!)!
-That is all or nearly paramtrable (all that has been little need for comprhension and reading a tab => time, tempo, coda, segno, agreements, all effects, the police , etc ....)
-The fact that there have a dictionary of scales and chords!
-The fact that it, and it's really important for trs tablature editor I find very very beautiful!! You have to see to understand, rendering the print is really neat and trs trs pro!
-That it is free! Software of this quality for nothing, was a pleasure!

Anyway, I inflames me.
In conclusion, I would say that this software is a real gem for those who want to either record their Creations as quickly and easily as possible, either for those who want to print their tab with a professional!

This software is a digitized program for writing guitar tablature. This is a pretty basic program, and I highly doubt that anybody would have a compatibility issue with it. I know for sure that it works with Windows and Mac OSX. The downloadable instruction manual makes the program pretty easy to use. There is pretty much just a simple download and install process, there isn't much in the way of setup. All of the regular functions that are necessary to run this program are built-in to most computers.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software has never given me a problem. There really isn't much gear that needs to be used in this configuration, so I'd say that really, it's a matter of the computer working correctly. The performance that I've been getting out of the program is fine, it's pretty much exactly as it was described when I first saw it. I used this thing for a few years, about 2, when I was in high school, but I really don't use it much anymore.

OVERALL OPINION

I don't really like this software anymore, but that is mainly because I really have no need to use it. When I was in high school, and really into progressive rock, there were a bunch of these powertabs online of groups like Yes and Dream Theater. In order to play their songs, I really needed the powertabs to see exactly what was going on. Eventually my musical ear developed more and I stopped listening to overly technical prog-rock (thank god) and I was able to learn almost everything by ear. At this point I will only use a lead sheet if I can't figure a tune out on my own, and these instances are rare. Basically, this program is only as useful as you make it. If you have no musical ear, aren't all that familiar with chords, and can't read notation, than this is probably a good tool for you. However, unless you are an extremely devoted fanboy of certain bands and don't mind taking the time to tediously program the tablature into the computer, expect to get frustrated to no end. Trying to make my own tabs is what eventually turned me off to the whole software. This is really only useful if you are listening to really technical music, or just have no ear at all.
