    This guys a liar, and a PHONY! I followed the instruction, handed over a full score to some guitarist friends and imagine my surprise when, instead of immediately playing it as advertised; they asked me: what kind of tab is this?!

    I am a proffesional pianist,director orchestra,arranger and composer. I have a proffesional band and im the one that writes the scores for the musicians to play when we have a concert. I transcribe by ear most of the time and there is no easy way to do it becose you must have at least an average good music ear.

    • @DogeyDoge

    You actually just blew my mind with the beat and measure markers. I never used them and now with the alt-loop function, I can see why it's so useful. Thank you SO MUCH I'm not even kidding

  • @JasonHoningford
    @JasonHoningford Год назад +24

    I like the idea of using a separate app to loop a section. I've been bringing the piece into Reaper and then adding my tracks. It just requires you lining up the tempo. It also teaches me mastering, as it is the literal reference track.

    • @composercode
      @composercode  Год назад +3

    Absolutely Transcribe is the BEST solution. Yes, it is work but the more you do the faster it becomes. Loop + EQ+ speed to detect the fast detail and layers. Great video!!!!

  • @N3Selina
    @N3Selina 2 года назад +10

    one tip i can give you is to let the piece run in the background on a loop and try to remember it by heart. if it's not known by heart, again, let it run in the background so you can hear both your DAW/Tracker or whatever AND the piece of music. might not work for everybody but if i have to transcribe something i do that :)
    also those tips are really damn good. i am glad you talked about this, and i hope this helps many people (including me)

  • @marcellocostajr.4843
    @marcellocostajr.4843 Год назад +5

    Nice video, Matt. I would argue that it's really worth doing a first pass by hand on a physical music sheet paper and THEN translating that to software like musescore. This lets you kind of "test" yourself to see if you got it right when you play it back from the software, and allows you to identify and correct possible mistakes you've made on the notation so that you can do better next time. If you jump directly into the software, I'd say you're not really giving yourself the chance to make mistakes and learn from them so you can get better. Most professionals in most fields of art would always recommend learning and practicing on analog mediums before jumping into software (this goes for painting/drawing, at least).

      Agreed. I know Matt said transcribe with the software but for some reason, transcribing by hand first works for me for the reason you stated.

    Great video! When transcribing classic VGM (e.g. 8-bit/16-bit), you can also use a program which plays that specific console's sound format. This isn't a option that's universally available, and you'd need actual sound files ripped from the game, but then you have the luxury of being able to isolate channels.

    • @composercode
      @composercode  2 года назад +2

      Thanks, man! That's absolutely true. When I transcribed the Shinobi soundtrack for a project, I used Cirrus Retro to isolate each of the tracks from the Genesis and study them. It was a grueling process but I learned a lot.

    This is great, and you basically informed me I need to quit looking for some advice how to do it and just do it. I would have said before watching this, do melody first, then bass notes, then 3rd, then the other notes. And guess what: that's what you said. :)

      VERY much - it's so straight-forward and like textbook orchestration, but SO personal from his vantage point of JFK's murder. One of my favorites - totally bypasses the hype & predictable sound of Star Wars and such. Like, "Arlington" alone, oof, Barber's Adagio for Strings imo feels like crying from feeling dead inside - Arlington feels like BETRAYED, rage, screaming from being lied to, etc. The colors and direction, all the decisions that go into making one's angst feel different from another's, and how to harness that into your decision-making. (Didn't have my accessible divisi art's implemented yet - now I do. ^_^)

      on a serious note, I understand this is meant to be a constructive criticism on the editing style of the creator, however the comment comes off as pretentious and arrogant
      This video’s style is not meant to be overly serious and professional but instead more laid back and humorous
