Power Tab Editor for Windows

• Good But Clunky

  KingMango5/17/2014

  Pros

  Easy to learn. Entering notation is very easy and fluid.

  Cons

  Just feels clunky for some things. Changing tempo. Playback. No deal breakers, just not how I would have done it I guess.

  Summary

  I just need a piece of software to quickly enter notation when a riff or a melody pops into my head. I have never tried any of the fancy commercial software out there so I can't make a comparison. But this suits my needs just fine.

  mrbiscuit7612/19/2011

  Pros

  You can punch fret numbers in there and listen to it playback as different instruments.Seems to have all the little tab symbols on it.

  Cons

  none,it is free after all

  Summary

  I thought it kind of fun to play around with.I'm not a tab guy or able to read music,I've always played by ear but it does seem to work good.This is probably great for someone giving lessons or just trying to use tab

• This thing is awesome.

  psimmons052410/3/2011

  Pros

  Great shortcuts. Easy to use. Wide range of ability. Chord finder is an amazing tool to have.

  Cons

  Umm... It won't deliver pizza. Or your soul mate.

  Summary

  I'm a newbie just picking out notes, and this helps me to record what I play. It's so quick to learn. Be sure to check out the hot keys in the help menu.

• Can't make this do anything useful at all

  gkcarver8/7/2011

  Pros

  none that I can find

  Cons

  Can't make this do anything useful at all, and can't uninstall.

  Summary

  I just wanted to stick some notes on a staff but this thing doesn't do anything but give me one lousy empty measure. Useless. If it really does do what I want it to do, then its interface must just be counter-intuitive. I would uninstall if there was any such function. Can't believe I downloaded this bag of dog poo.

• WAS ABLE TO WRITE MY PIECE WITHOUT READING DIRECTIONS.

  JOHNNYCHICAGO7/9/2011

  Pros

  i AM JUST LEARNING AND IT IS SO EASY TO JUST PUT IN THE TAB AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHOWS THE NOTES. (IMPORTANT IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ MUSIC GOOD YET).

  Cons

  DOE'S NOT PRINT OUT ALL THE LYRICS I PUT DOWN NOR PRINT THE WORDS WHERE I PUT THEM. (I HANDWRITE WHAT'S MISSING).

  Summary

  IT'S FREE, IT'S EASY, AND MAKES LEARNING A SONG MUCH MORE SIMPLE THAN TO STOP YOUR PRACTICE TO TURN PAGES FROM A BOOK.

• Very good program

  Hathei3/14/2011

  Pros

  - It's free - Has many song customization features (over 100 MIDI options, various tunings and effects, different time and key signatures, etc) - Helpful score checker for correcting any mistakes

  Cons

  - Adding a drum track is impossible - 7 instrument limit - Effects are not particularly well done (slides and harmonics, for the most part) - Sound occasionally stops working for some reason

  Summary

  Despite minor flaws, this program is quite useful and lacks only a few features a professional program would have. That is all.
