Create your music with professional features

TuxGuitar is a software where you can create your music. It contains many functions for recording musical instruments and simulating their sounds. You can also create professional tablature and listen to it in different formats.

If you open TuxGuitar for the first time, you may find it too complicated. However, its interface is exceptionally well laid out and convenient if you understand it. There are no extra elements in it that would overload the appearance, so the application looks quite lovely. There is also an extensive help section and documentation for using the app.

Functional and essential functions of TuxGuitar

Thanks to the tabular editor, you can quickly write notes as numbers or letters, edit them, and even play them back. Guitarists who are more comfortable playing chords will especially like this function. You can use a virtual guitar fretboard or a piano keyboard. It will be more visual than ordinary notes. There are also more instruments that you can play and record sound on.

Select the desired note duration: whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, thirty-second, or sixty-fourth. One of the most exciting possibilities is adding effects to the melody - for example, bend, slide, vibrato, hammer on/off. Make the music faster or, conversely, slow it down. This will make your music more exciting and unique.

All for good sound

It allows you to insert a time signature, set the tempo of the music, and select a key. You can increase or decrease the pitch of a particular note for the desired sound. This way, you will get unique music that you will definitely like.

The application will help you hear the created music and edit it. In addition, you can use auto-scroll while playing. The player reproduces the entire sheet of music as accurately as possible. At the very end, you can export the result in gp3, gp4, and gp5 formats.

Should I download TuxGuitar for Windows?

If you are a musician or a person who works with creating and arranging music, you should try downloading TuxGuitar. Newbies may find it challenging to navigate the app. However, if you want to use professional capabilities - over time, you will master the operation of the application. You can use the help section, where there is little information. All the features and tools offered can be tried for free, which is very attractive.

The application is actively supported by developers, the community, and the forum. You can count on the stable operation of TuxGuitar and regular functionality updates. In the latest update, there is support for the looped bar range, the function of converting and transporting notes. You can also move the drums left and right, control the beats more and use additional parameters for a better sound.
