3. How do you transcribe sheetmusic?
Finale 2010.
I listen to the song for a few days, so that I know it inside out. Sometimes I print the guitar chords - it helps a little to have them but it doesn't matter much if I can't find them.
I open the mp3 file in Adobe Audition or Amazing Slow Downer, select the first few seconds, and loop that. Then I start transcribing, my piano is standing somewhat next to the computer so I often use that to check, and sometimes I just insert the notes into Finale straight away.
Usually the first few parts of a song are more of a struggle. If it's a faster song I can slow it down a little, if there's a lot of other stuff happening (bass/drums/vocals) I try to filter them out a little so I can hear the piano better. When I've got the first part and the refrain it tends to go a little easier, since a lot gets repeated.
