Designed for guitarists and singer-songwriters, Guitar Tracks Pro 4 is the recording solution that takes your music from riff to hit easier than ever. With Guitar Tracks Pro 4 you get much more than just recording software. You also get an amazing virtual guitar amp for inspired, arena-ready tones—without disturbing the neighbors.

You also get an entire backing band of virtual instruments—always ready to accompany you. It also has precise editing tools to comp the perfect solo or vocal track, a mixing console, effects arsenal, and makes it easy to burn CDs or upload your music directly to the web—all for less than a few hours in the recording studio.

Multitrack Recording Software
Guitar Tracks Pro 4 has an easy to-use interface which puts key features just a mouse click away, while precise editing tools help you tweak your tracks to perfection. You don t have to be a professional recording engineer to create your own high-quality tracks.

WIth this software you can create, edit, and print your own notation and tablature from any MIDI file or MIDI track. Download MIDI files to learn and play along. Double synth parts on guitar. Make tab for your rhythm guitarist, and more. Included fretboard view makes it easy to match notes to the guitar neck.

The virtual mixer lets you take control of your mix and get it just right with all the important tools and controls right there: mute, solo, pan, EQ, FX, and more.

Virtual Amp
Guitar Pro 4 gives you great tone, right inside your PC—just plug in your guitar and go. Access authentic sounds from classic country to arena rock and everything in between; Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 3 LE has you covered.

Your Backing Band
No band? No problem. Cakewalk Studio Instruments boasts top-quality electric bass, drums, piano, and strings—it s like having session players at your disposal 24/7. You can also add additional virtual instruments with support for VST and ReWire.

Studio-quality Effects
Get amazing sounds with 12 included studio-quality effects: Classic Phaser, Modfilter, Chorus/Flanger, Tempo Delay, Bit Decimator, Studioverb, HF Exciter, Compressor/Gate, Para-Q, and more. Guitar Tracks Pro 4's effects include useful pre-configured presets for commonly used sounds. You can use these effects on input to hear them as you record or add them later on in the mixing process. Use them on any track or bus (group of tracks) simultaneously. Add up to 24 effects per project and easily turn on/off the effects for quick A/B comparisons, and add additional effects with support for 3rd party VST plug-ins.

Get more volume and punch from your final mix with the Boost 11 limiter/maximizer. It gives you professional results with a simple-to-use interface. The Boost 11 Peak Limiter provides transparent peak limiting and volume maximization without coloring the sound of the source material. It employs a "look-ahead" limiter algorithm to prevent output clipping and PDR (Program Dependent Release) to minimize pumping (fluctuations of the volume) and maximize the loudness.
