Guitar Shed 2.9.96

Guitar Shed 2.9.96 is an all-in-one set of tools for guitarists, bassists and many other musicians which runs at native speed on both newer Intel Macs, and older PPC-based models too! 

Major Features:

1. Guitar Shed Software - All tools in one place:
   • Professionals, hobbyists, beginners, and everyone in-between...Guitar Shed can help improve your skills as a guitarist, save tons of time getting in perfect tune, learn chords, and so much more. Whether you're just learning to play guitar, or have been playing for years; this is the only software suite you'll need.
   • Guitar Shed has all of these awesome music tools (and tons more), packed with options and presets to give you everything you crave - All in a single program that runs on both Macintosh OS X and Windows computers!
2. Song Slow Downer
   • In addition to wide-range treble and bass controls, Guitar Shed can playback audio (In a variety of formats like MP3, Audio CDs, AAC, and many others) with varying speeds. Unlike many other tools that provide a basic implementation of this, Guitar Shed goes a major step further.
   • When slowing down a song, Guitar Shed will automatically compensate for any changes in pitch and correct them...in real-time! So instead of hearing that old drooped-out, "slow tape" speed effect where all of the notes sound completely different at slower speeds, you'll hear the exact same notes that are being played - with no pitch shift.
3. Tone and Chromatic Tuners
   • "Chromatic" Tuner*
   • • Chromatic guitar tuner will tell you exactly when your guitar is perfectly tuned, or when it's too high (sharp) or low (flat), and how far off you are from the target note. This software tuner uses your computer's microphone or sound-input port to actually listen to your guitar. If you're in a noisy environment (such as the never-silent rehearsal space or even on-stage), just plug your guitar directly into your computer's microphone jack and get an extremely accurate tune within seconds!
     • The simple interface is very easy-to-see, while the display shows you exactly what you need to know. There's even an interactive "Colorize" mode that makes the background glow red if you're sharp, or green if you're flat - an awesome feature for tuning at a distance. Guitar Shed's chromatic tuner is also highly advanced. For expert users, the actual frequency (Hz), target frequency (Hz) and offset are always available.
   • "Tone" Tuner
   • • Many guitar players prefer to tune their instruments by ear. This is often done while listening to a reference note (An exact musical note), and then tuning your guitar until it exactly matches the note sounded. Tuning your guitar using this method also helps develop useful ear-training skills.
     • Guitar Shed's tone tuner (also called "Ear" tuner) is quite handy for storing alternate tunings that you've created (plus, it comes bundled with tons of presets) as well. Extras, such as the "Strum", "Pick", and "Chord Cycler" make it easy to hear samples of any note combinations you can imagine; an essential tool for any songwriter. Audio samples can be played using a variety of built-in instruments such as an Acoustic Nylon Guitar, Acoustic Steel Guitar, Jazz Guitar, Harmonics, Piano, Harpsichord, Banjo, Sitar, and even a special Bass Guitar mode...and more.
4. Chord Library
   • The interactive guitar chord dictionary in Guitar Shed is like no other. We've included over 400 individual guitar chords, all with audio samples (And in multiple instruments!).
   • You can even invert every chord to show the left-handed version. Try doing that with your average chord dictionary. The chord fingerings are very easy to view, and there's a "simple" mode that makes it easy to see the exact chord layout from across the room or studio.
5. Tablature Organizer
   • If you've ever tried learning a song by ear, you know how hard it can get. Do it the easy way, and use guitar tablature - a simple form of sheet music that shows the guitarist the exact string(s) and fingering to play.
   • There's an endless supply of guitar tablature (Also called "Tabs") on the Internet. If you've already discovered this wonderful resource, you'll definitely appreciate the easy organizational features of the Guitar Shed Tablature Organizer.
   • Collecting guitar tabs can get confusing, creating files all over your computer. The tab organizer helps eliminate this by keeping all of your tabs in a single place. All sorted by artist and/or song title.
   • Extra features include automatic scrolling for easy play-along, fully adjustable text sizing, tab printing, and much more. You can also easily import your current tablature quickly and easily - Guitar Shed recognizes all major tab file formats such as .tab, .crd, .txt, ASCII, and more.
6. Guitar Tablature Search
   • If you're new to using guitar tablature - have no fear. Guitar Shed includes a tab-search feature to quickly find the tab you're looking for using the best tablature search engines on the web. Guitar Shed will also display the tab search results directly within the program - no more opening separate programs or web browsers!
7. Music Tools Galore
   • The Guitar Shed software suite comes with tons of cool and useful tools for all guitarists - beginning, intermediate, and highly advanced. Just about any guitar-related musical tool you can think of is included in this award-winning audio software package...and some you may have never dreamed of before.
   • But, Guitar Shed isn't just for guitarists anymore. With Guitar Shed 2, we've added many new features that will appeal to almost any musician. We've included additional tunings for other instruments such as the banjo and bouzouki, and have enabled the chromatic tuner to recognize notes within many octaves - making Guitar Shed the best tool for almost any musician!
