![]() ![]() This basic type of "fine-tuning" only takes about 5 minutes. Even if you replace your strings with the exact same brand and gauge, if you wish your TransTrem to work "perfectly" in tune, you will want to "tweak" the adjustments very slightly after each new string change, as every string set has some minor length variation. The "basics" for setting the "action" and intonation on a Steinberger are essentially the same as for any modern electric guitar. If you've set-up electric guitars before, you should have no difficulty learning how to properly adjust a TransTrem-equipped guitar. The TransTrem is a much more sophisticated tremolo than any other on the market, but once you've learned how to adjust it, it is relatively easy to re-adjust for different brands and gauges of strings. We recommend that you use either the calibrated, double ball-end D'addario or Labella string brands, as we have had years of experience with the strings from both of these fine companies, and their quality and the accuracy of their calibration is excellent. I’ve used Guitar Pro for all the tabs I’ve made on the site.These are detailed and step-by-step instructions for the set-up and operation of a TransTrem equipped guitar. It was easily the best tabbing software around but GuitarPro 5 had a number of drawbacks for uke tabbers (read about them in my review). So I was very eager to try out GuitarPro 6 which was released earlier this month. ![]() Here’s what I’ve found as I tested it out and I roped in BrianW who kept a very close eye on the bugs and problems with GP5. Should I Upgrade to Guitar Pro 6?īrian: This is a stable product and is a big upgrade and improvement on GuitarPro 5. We have been waiting for 2 years and it was worth it. The team have obviously taken the decision not to drip-drip minor fixes and improvements, but to take their time in re-building the product from the bottom up. Performance is very good on my Windows 7 machine. Hampered in what it could do and constantly crashing. GuitarPro 6 can do everything the PC version can do and I haven’t had any problems with it crashing.ī: Tools are now on the left of the screen. Multiple files can now be opened at the same time, and are displayed as Tabs across the top – not standard Windows layout, but very nice, once you get used to it At first this seems strange, but it allows editing of a ‘what you see is what you get’ of a music sheet A4 portrait format – this look and feel (after a while) began to grow on me! Guitar pro 6 7 string Pc# W: After the initial, “Holy crap, where is everything?” I found the new layout really easy to use. The monochrome colour scheme is more modern but less friendly than old brownie. W: Finally! The ukulele tuning is now right (for C, D and low-G tunings). And the standard notation is now in the correct octave. You can adjust the tuning to whatever you like via the tuning panel (yeah, it’s a bass guitar but you can’t have everything). Panels are little windows on the left, the two most useful are a chord panel (makes it so much easier – would be nice if you could drag and drop them into the score) and the lyrics panel (so you can now just type up the lyrics, divide them into syllables and you’re done). W: – As well as tab and standard notation you can now show chords in slash notation like this:īrilliant new feature which I may well use for showing strums in future. That means you can set the layout you like, ukulele tuning and fill the chord panel with often used chords.ī:- Full Realistic Sound Engine (RSE) for non-rock band instruments (grand piano, strings etc.) – You can set up templates for tabs that you can use as a basis for future tabs. ![]() – Grand staff automatically supported for grand piano Guitar pro 6 7 string full# – Notes can be made of longer duration or shorter by a keyboard short-cut (yes a simple idea, but a good one!) – Post-production sound features such as attack etc. W: Those of you with an incredible eye for detail and no life whatsoever will have noticed that the tabs on the Fall post had a transparent background rather than a white one. – You can’t transpose directly from one instrument to another. You have to create a new track with the right instrument and copy/paste to the new track. – When you’re setting chord names on the uke they almost always come up as slash chords e.g. an F chord will automatically be set as F/C. – Right aligned ‘1’s look strange in chords.ī: – Still no output to Powertab and continuing poor Music XML support e.g. To and from professional software such as Finale and Sibelius. – Fingering notation: text positioning remains a problem (especially for re-entrant instruments like the uke where different fingers produce the same note). (UPDATE: There are options in the stylesheet for the placing of fingering notation). – The Help file is in HTML not a Windows help file.
