  • Flex time – lets you stretch or shorten recorded audio, interactively.
  • Groove  Matching – “a spell checker for bad rhythm” – select one track and the rhythm of other tracks is aligned to it.
  • More guitar amps and effects
  • New piano & guitar tutorials
  • “How did I play” tool that injects a bit of Guitar Hero fun into practicing
