Hi rustyshoes2000

Well I'm not an expert with Guitar Pro, but I don't think it's meant for that, it does appear to be able to Export files as a MIDI.

If you have a MIDI file of a piece of music there are several other programs that can play the MIDI file whilst recording audio sounds in a wave format.

Sonar - is a program that will do this quite well. In fact you can record as many tracks (Layers) as you want.
Cubase is another.
I'm sure there are many more at a price.

Anyone else know an easier way???

AND NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN HIM IN CONCERT IN BRISBANE I LIKE HIM EVEN MORE ! ! !

Cheers buddy. I'll suss it out. The only thing I'm worried about though is losing the Real sounds and having to have polyphonic style songs. I've basically written an entire album (With no real talent) and have managed to burn it to a CD which the quality was killer, but without vocals It's a half finished Disasterpiece. So I hope it works.

Hi rustyshoes2000! One of the main things I have Learned about Midi Files & Polyphonic sounds as you call them, is to keep them to a "minimum". Using the Drums & Bass is fine. To add some organ OR Strings Or Pad sounds OR even some piano can sound OK.
The Problem with polyphonics is when you use too many backing sounds at once, then they tend to be more noticable than the "LIVE" sounds of the Guitar and Vocals. (Less is more! )
So the KISS method is best. Obviously the more "LIVE" tracks you have the better too.
The Quality will still be fine with Sonar that'a what it's meant for.

Had a look at Sonars page, and it sounds like the way to go. Really appreciated for your help. RS2000

Okay, I've gotten hold of Sonar 6 and for someone who's computer skills are like the pope with a katana, its pretty daunting. I've burnt my guitar pro tracks to a CD and what I want to do is import them into Sonar and basically record lyrics over top. However,for some reason it won't let me record. The record icon just stares at me, mocking me. Any more help would be great.
Cheers,
RS2000
