It depends on what you want to do. Try out both and decide what you like best.


The electric guitar track makes it easy to use special amps and amp designer to create your own amplifier, also a pedalboard with various filters for special effects.

The basic audio track is perfect for a clean sound to record the acoustic sound of your guitar.
