Summary: a must have for guitar enthusiasts but far from perfect
Comment: I have had both the Windows version and the Mac version of this program and have found a few bugs in both: the Windows version has a more logical user interface but crashed OFTEN (1/4 of the time) ; the Mac version seems to be more stable (probably more a testament to the OS than anything) but has its bugs too - e.g., digital tuner is flaky (can only get the 'needle' to show up 1/2 the time).
I sent an email to eMedia support 3 weeks ago about the bug, still no word.

Summary: Essential Program For Guitar & Bass Players
Comment: For over 10 years now I have tabbed songs by ear, and frequently used many of the millions of tabs you can find online, however I would be doing them in whats called an ASCII (Ask ee) method, and i've been fine with that up until I recently discovered this AWESOME program.
ASCII for me now is a thing of the past now that I have discovered this program.
It's quick and easy to install. It works for both Windows and Mac systems.
So you open the program up, and you get a blank music sheet. Then all you simply have to do is click where you want to insert your note, and type it in, and use the arrows, and also use the many tools that come with it to create your songs.
It shows it in both tabliture, and music notation form whenever you insert your note into either of the two bars. So that is a great feature for those who read both tab and proper notation sheet music.
Once you have done your tab, and sorted out the tools for the notes. You can press a play button and it will play what you have tabbed out. So you can actually listen to it! A feature that will help improve so many players out there, and also help musicians to compose music.
And tho I sound like an infomercial, thats not all, you can also have multiple tracks. You can have as many guitar tracks as you want, bass tracks, percussion, even banjos, harmonicas, bagpipes... the (drum tab being tabbed out is not that of drum tabs tho)
All those tracks (separate paged tabs)will all play together at the same time when you hit play, or you can chose options to play them solo, or which one's you want to hear and don't with a simple S for solo, or M for mute option. Or neither to have them just play.
Also each track (tab page) is easily tunable. by default it is EADGBE but you can select from a heap of pre-set tunings, or just type in your own tuning. You can also have 4 to 7 strings for the tab notation, not just the standard 6.
There is also an extension for this program called Real Sound Engine (RSE) the G-pro is about 11 megs, but the RSE 300 or more meg add on is an option you might like. What it does is allows you to select what you wan't your instrument to sound like. So rather then it sound like a MIDI file during playback, you can have realistic guitars and effect sounds, bass, drums, etc... it does add so much life to your music. You can even then export your tab into wav form or midi, as well as some other audio forms.
The program even has great import options. You can import your old ASCII tabs straight into this program with the click of a button. It ignores all the |----| and just imports the numbers to the corresponding string.
You may just have to change the .txt extension to .tab if it fails for you. But I think it works both ways. If not, just open up word pad and save it as whatever.tab. And GP5 will open it no problems.
Not only that, it even allows you to import "Power Tabs" and various other forms of music.
I can't think of anything this program can not do already that I would wish for it to do. If someone had have said to me to give thoughts about what you would like to see in a tab editor, believe me, I could not have come up with an idea half as good as this program.
If you have not got this program, you don't know what you are missing out on.

Summary: demo only: a recurring problem?
Comment: I also bought this in April and was sent a demo CD. I was pretty angry/disappointed, especially because I was so excited to finally get to use Guitar Pro on a Mac, but I figured that mistakes happen and sent it back to Amazon for an exchange. Then, A week later, I got the same demo CD! I sent everything back and got a full refund on my purchase.
So it's been a few months and I'm still interested in buying Guitar Pro--the software is that helpful. I'm just wondering if eMedia or Amazon have resolved the obviously prevalent quality control issue.
