Guitar Pro 6

Hi Guys,
I checked out the new GP6, it looks like the same programme with different graphics and layouts and improvements in the RSE (some would say "mutton dressed up as lamb"). I havent downloaded the free trial but it didnt seem to have the ability to generate arrangements or styles the way BIAB will. It has always been a problem for me trying to put the drum section into a piece as I'm not a drummer. Any other members had a chance to look at it yet? Would be interested in your comments.

I use guitar pro 6 it's a very good piece of software, am not sure about placing drums into it but with guitar chords and riffs it is very easy to ise

The same BIAB question... if just thist two programms was a one hybrid

I have to agree with both of you, love the idea of a hybrid made from both of them it would really fly ( Hmmmm Bandpro 1 ??). I use both and find GP is easier especially if you want to add a slide into or from one note to another. I asked PG Music how to do this in BIAB and they refered me to the piano roll window, still cant do it.

piano roll window sucks,
i think BIAB want make it better, in my opinion the GP is even better in some cases from the Finale notepad..
It's easer and more faster to write everything I only complain on one thing the GP bar width (the visual side) the bars has alwayes different width depending on witch notes.. I want for e.g. that every line has 2 or 4 bars.
2. I think that is more probably that the GP makes an extra path to act like BIAB then othervise

Free trial, you say?
PIRATE IT! PIRATE IT! PIRATE IT!
It's what I do.

I have made a full instrumental album using BIAB and Guitar Pro as a birthday gift my girlfriend one time. Here's what I did:
-I made the backing track using BIAB by choosing the right style and entering the chords and then exported it as a MIDI files.
-Guitar Pro allows you to import MIDI files so I imported the MIDI backing track I made using BIAB.
-Using Guitar Pro I added a guitar melody track. Using the RSE function I was able to get fairly realistic sounds.
-Tidied up the arrangement of the backing track a little bit by editing them in TAB form.
-I then saved it as a WAV file before burning it onto CD.
-Did this for 10 tracks, and I ended up with a fairly nice sounding instrumental CD : )

Hi Shadow,
thats a pretty good idea, thanks for the tip, never thought of doing that. I've exported midi files from BIAB but just didnt make the connection to GP5.
