Where are you downloading the tabs themselves from?

[Rush]

there a lot of places, but to mention one, ultimateguitar.com

[AtGame7]

Do you need special software for that or just the subscription to UGtabs?

[Rush]

special software? hmm no, just guitar pro to check the tab and EoF :) (note: gp6 tabs must be imported to gp5 files to work with EoF)

It's nice if you actually have guitar pro installed though so if you need to make an adjustment to it you can just open it in guitar pro which is quicker than doing it in eof sometimes and you can combine tracks that are split up instead of copying and pasting in eof.

Nice tip @Xstatic!!

Hi!

I wasn't able to import any gp5 file in EoF. I've tested saving as gpx and it didn't work. EoF message is 'Could not import file'. My EoF version is 18RC8 (r1291).

 

Thanks in advance!

EOF is not able to import GPX files, only files in GP5 or older format.  If you can post a link to one of the Guitar Pro files you couldn't import, I'll look into it.

For example: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/marea/el_perro_verde_guitar_pro.htm

It works for me.  I'm able to import both guitar tracks and the bass track:

Please try importing the GP file and then if it fails, close EOF and upload the eof_log.txt file in EOF's program folder so I can see if any errors were logged.

[niellu]

Thanks a lot! Now it works fine.

Hello,

[raynebc]

When do you get that message?  During the creation of a new project?

Make sure under Song --> Track you've selected one of the REAL options (REAL_Guitar for the lead). That should make GP importing available.

Doh! :oops: ! Forgot about that one....... Many thanks!!!!

 

Now only one problem left to solve, why is my EOF on my mac running in windows (with parallels) always giving me the mp3 is disabled, you need to install lame or vorbis tools, whilst under mac itself I "can" load mp3 files in EOF??

[raynebc]

Make sure you didn't put EOF in a protected location like anywhere inside either of the "Program Files" folders. Windows has a security feature that will interfere with programs' abilities to write files in such places. If you still run into problems you may have to re-extract the 1.8RC9 files, since it comes with all of the related conversion tools, maybe the ones in your EOF installation got removed or something.
