Tablature & standard notation software
Guitar Pro
--> a true workshop for guitarists
Citat:- chord and scale libraries,
- tuner,
- metronom,
- virtual fretboard and keyboard.
- tools work with fretted instruments from 4 to 8 strings.
- Diagram generator --> Request any chord in any tuning, and Guitar pro will display all possible finger positions for you. Draw a diagram by clicking on the grid, and Guitar Pro will suggest all possible names for that chord.
- the search function also allows you to quickly find out what scale is being used in all or part of the score.
- the digital tuner allows you to tune your guitar by plugging it into the soundcard, or via a microphone. You can also simply tune your guitar by ear, string by string, with the MIDI tuner. Those work for all possible tunings.
- The virtual fretboard and keyboard are here to help you see the notes from the score, or capture them into it. They can show you the notes of the current beat, as well as the notes of the next beat, of the whole bar or yet again of the scale you have selected. Those are indispensable tools if you are beginning or is you wish to capture notes with the mouse.
--> a guitar tablature editor for K Desktop Environment.
Citat:* Powerful and convenient tablature editing, including many effects and classical note score editing for classic instrument players;
* Full and very customizable MIDI to tablature import and export;

--> a guitar tablature (fingering notation) editor and player, that is specially designed for Linux musicians.
Citat:- can edit staffs and tablatures not only for guitar, but also for a variety of musical instruments like banjo, flute, and ukulele.
- Formerly known as Gtablature, this application allows you to print your compositions as well as play them with the help of external applications.
- it also supports staff, lyrics and drums.

--> tune guitars and other instruments by using the method of Schmitt-triggering, i.e. counting the number of triggerings between two trigger levels in a certain amount of time.
--> a tuner for variety of musical instruments. It is designed to tune musical instruments on PC using a microphone or directly connecting the instrument to the PC's sound card.
U situaciji kada imamo mp3, ali ne možemo naći tablature za isti, ili jednostavno želimo da "skinemo" pesmu uz pomoć sluha, pomoći će nam sledeći softver u ovom odeljku. Procedura je jednostavna i sastoji se iz sledećih koraka:
- učitati audio datoteku u softver
- označiti deo pesme koji želimo da naučimo
- usporiti označeni deo, kako bi lakše pratili i "pohvatali" tonove
- ponavljati određeni deo (loop play) i svirati uz taj deo (play along) dok se ne utvrdi
Transcribe!
--> assisstant to work out a piece of music from a recording, in order to write it out, or play it, or both.

- ability to analyse chords and show you what notes are present
- capability of adding markers and textual annotations so you can easily navigate around the track.
- also has a piano keyboard displayed on screen which you can click to play reference notes.
- no support for midi files - these already contain explicit information about what notes are to be played and when, and there are plenty of programs available which can display this information. Transcribe! deals with audio sample data files.
- You can save the modified audio to a new sound file if you want.
- "note guessing" and "chord guessing" - that is, it will attempt to interpret the spectrum information for you, marking the notes being played on the piano keyboard, and attempting to name the chords (in standard form such as "Am", "E7#9", etc). Note guesses can be displayed in "piano roll" form, showing the guesses over time, aligned to the waveform view.
--> a multi-track audio editor for Linux/Unix, MacOS and Windows.
Citat:- designed for easy recording, playing and editing of digital audio.
- features digital effects and spectrum analysis tools.
- Editing is very fast and provides unlimited undo/redo.

Moram reći da i pored ovolikog izbora DAW programa, nijedan ne može zaista da se meri sa komercijalnim Windows DAWovima.
IPAK, šuška se, a i može se naći za preuzimanje, REAPER za linux (u teškoj beta verziji, još uvek većina stvari ne radi). Kada bi Reaper zaista prešao na linux, to bi već bila potpuna promena igre. Na žalost, sve je to još uvek nezvanično, a program je vrhunski DAW za smešne pare (60$ ukoliko ste pojedinac ili vaš studio ima zaradu manju od 20 000$ godišnje. I još uključuje besplatne nadogradnje naredne 2 godine.)
@igorpan: Baci pogled na energyXT. Košta oko 60$ i fino izgleda na prvi pogled.

Sad sam malo bacio pogled na energyXT demo.
Slabo se snalazim ja s ovim, ali ipak imam utisak da je više u pitanju sekvencer. Neki moji utisak je da bi ovo moglo biti zanimljivije za elektronske muzičare, iako ima mogućnost snimanja.
