Here’s how GP6 handled a random MIDI I downloaded from the internet: But GP7 does a massively better job at it. MIDI Importīoth GP6 and GP7 allow you to import MIDI files and will attempt to turn them into standard notation/tab. Now GP7 will export MP3s saving the hassle. I don’t often export audio files form Guitar Pro but every time I’ve exported a WAV I’ve converted it to MP3. GP7 adds the ability to export MP3 audio files.

Here’s how they compare (Click the image to see it full size): Although still not as good as exporting a PDF.

For higher quality images I had to export a PDF then convert that to PNG. The image quality was low and the background was grey (which actually worked out nicely for me on the blog). Guitar Pro 6’s PNG image export left a fair bit to be desired. So there are more options under your fingertips and once you’ve got a score set up you can quickly hide at least two of the panels away while you get on with tabbing. The layout has seen a similar improvement. It’s now clean, crisp and easy on the eye. Guitar Pro 7 (GP7) is an overdue improvement. And the rise of HD/retina displays has been as kind to GP6 as it was to ageing actors. It’s been 7 years since Guitar Pro 6 (GP6) was released and it was starting to show its age. But there are downsides to the transition and I wouldn’t blame anyone for sticking with Guitar Pro 6 until the kinks have been worked out and a few options added back in. The improvements are more than enough that I’ve already forked out €30 for the upgrade.

If you’re considering upgrading from Guitar Pro 6 it’s more of mixed bag at the moment. If you’re going to be tabbing regularly it’s well downloading the trial and giving it a go. And at €75 (about $80) it’s way more affordable than the eye-wateringly expensive general scoring apps like Finale and Sibelius. It’s more powerful, widely-used and user-friendly than free apps like TuxGuitar and the long dormant Power Tab (although an alpha of Power Tab 2.0 has popped up recently). If you’re starting fresh and wondering whether to buy Guitar Pro 7 I’d highly recommend it. I’ve been putting it through its paces (on a Mac) since then and here’s what I think of it so far. So I was giddy with excitement with last week’s release of Guitar Pro 7 (I’m a Guitar Pro affiliate in case that changes your opinion on my review).

Guitar Pro has been my tabbing software of choice since the start of Uke Hunt almost ten years ago.
