Creating A Midi (with Count In) From Guitar Pro for a Backing Track

1) Open the Guitar Pro file and select the drum track.

2) Make sure you have selected the first bar in the file of the drum track. Press CTRL + INSERT twice. This adds two empty bars to the beginning of the file. This is where we'll insert the count in.

3) Select the half note symbol (circled in red) and add 2 closed hi-hats (42) to the first bar of the tab (drum track). Well, I use hi-hats; you can use whatever you want, it's just a count in to help get you started.

Many thanks fopr all your hard works in bt's and tutorials. But I have a question. Is Synthfont a freeware prog, full version? I found it in Download.com, but not in any torrent sites.
And also, could you possibly upload your tutorials? I've tried to copy and paste into word but two of them get all messed up. Just in case I can't connect to the net whilst trying to make my own bt's. We have a terrible provider here in Tenerife. Feels like we've gone back to the caves!! lol
Once again thanks, and hopefully I can upload one of my bt's very soon. ;-)

Synthfont is freeware and is available here...

Also, here are the tutorials in Word document format:thumb:

thanks so much. You're going to make me very popular with the customers, but not the wife!! lol
Play on, my friend....

4) Select the quarter note symbol (circled in red) and add 4 closed hi-hats (42) to the second bar of the tab (drum track).

5) Lookin’ good! Note the 2 bars added are now colored to show that they contain data. Also, the first bar isn’t really necessary. Some people like to just add one bar of 4 quarter note hits. This is just how I do it. Now we have to save the file before exporting the midi. Press CTRL+S to save the file.

6) Press File – Export – Midi to export a midi, ready for conversion using soundfonts.

CTRL+INSERT really does the job! Thanks for this cool tutorial!
