What's new in Guitar Pro 8

Continuously pushing the envelope, Guitar Pro 8 features a slew of improvements as well as new features to give you the best and most fluid notation experience possible. Newly implemented, you can import audio tracks into Guitar Pro 8, allowing you to have an audio reference to help with notation or to simply use as a vocal melody or backing track over your performance. Not the only performance improvement, Guitar Pro 8 introduces a new Pedal Board view, offering the chance to create customised sound banks by rearranging virtual pedals to create the sound that inspires you. For more detailed listening to specific aspects of your performance and notation, you can mix the individual elements of your drum kit to adjust the pan and volume, helping you hear the parts you need more clearly. In addition to this, a new Focus dial quickly lets you boost or cut the volume of a certain track to create more or less emphasis on it, helping you to alter the balance of your mix to hear your part more clearly.

A range of newly introduced scoring features offers more flexibility and detail than ever before. Nested Tuplets are introduced as a new rhythmic pattern and can be accessed by the newly introduced Command Palette. This Command Palette helps you supercharge your productivity by giving you access to virtually every command in a simple and intuitive search bar, helping to increase your editing speed to get songs notated quicker. Every note of your notation can now be accessed, allowing you to apply an offset, note duration or velocity changes per note to create a completely customised score that leaves no room for interpretation. Along with this impressive range of new additions, Guitar Pro 8 features an improved performance on less powerful machines as well as integration with Apple Silicone M1 systems, ensuring complete functionality on virtually any machine.

Write, Play, Mix

Guitar Pro allows you to compose and read music scores using the musical notation of your favourite instrument. Display tablature and learn songs with every notation prompt you need to learn chords, scales and rhythms. With thousands of tabs to choose from on the mySongBook website, you can play along to your favourite music with a realistic sound engine. This realistic sound engine reproduces all the specific effects for your chosen instrument and inspires you to perform to your best. A crystal clear display lets you easily view all of the notation and performance effects on screen and the included trainer section lets you loop sections with increasing tempo until you get the section nailed.

Comprehensive toolset for composing music

For musicians of any skill level, Guitar Pro 8 offers a complete set of tools for composing your music. All displayed with the signature clean and easy to read look that Guitar Pro is known for, you can use these tools to help you with your composition to get ideas and musical theory ideas or use them to store all of the notation elements of your music to show to band-mates for their learning.

A comprehensive selection of Chords are embedded into Guitar Pro 8. Search for any chord and Guitar Pro 8 will display all possible positions on the fretboard. You can save these positions and highlight them to see all corresponding names of the chords in your relative key. As well as chords, you have access to virtually every known scale imaginable. Use this tool to listen to scales closest resembling your music to give you ideas and foundational knowledge of the notes that can be used within your melody, solo or bass line. For added clarity, using the high-definition on-screen virtual instrument, you will be able to see the notes being played on the fretboard or piano to help you visualise your hand positions.

Of course no song is complete without lyrics. Guitar Pro 8 lets you easily enter the lyrics of your song to arrange them in your window, allowing you to use them as a guide for tempo and rhythm for the rest of your band-mates. As well as lyrics, you can add word notations to sections that may need explanation or use as collaboration points with other musicians.

Ideal for beginners, the virtual instruments display shows you the visual representation of your notes on your chosen instrument, whether that's piano, guitar, ukulele, drums or even banjo.
