6 (Mostly Free) Tools and Software for Music Transcription - Duration: 5:19.

Transcribing music is like strength training for your inner musical ear

It's challenging and rewarding work that reaps priceless benefits for the musician

Show me a musician who makes a habit of transcribing and nine times out of ten. She'll be a better improviser

Theorist and composer than the musician who doesn't. With every minute spent transcribing music your ear is

Internalizing what makes a song feel good. Musicians who make a habit of transcribing their favorite songs have a deeper understanding

Of what makes them work and perhaps more importantly how to employ those same techniques in their own compositions

With that said, here are some handy tools that make transcription easier and oftentimes downright fun

number one: an instrument. This may seem painfully obvious

But trying to transcribe without an objective point of reference is

Difficult, especially if you don't have perfect pitch or extensive ear training

I recommend a piano as all of the notes are easily accessible, and building chords is more intuitive in my opinion

But a guitar works just as well. In a real pinch, you could even download a piano app for your smartphone and use that

Number two:

Staff paper or MuseScore. I bought this book of staff paper for $4.99 on Amazon

And it's great for really getting notation ligature in your mind. However, for the speedy transcriber,

Software is definitely the way to go.

Industry-leading notation apps like Sibelius or Finale range from a few hundred to a few thousand bucks

Which is a steep price for a hobbyist.

Musescore is a free,

Open-source alternative that I used to transcribe... everything

It's very user-friendly and has a lively community eager to answer questions and help you solve problems. I've

Yet to run into a notation task that, frankly, MuseScore couldn't handle. It may not be as sexy as Finale or Sibelius,

But it's a great way to get your feet wet in transcription at no cost.

Number three: YouTube. Just about any song can be found for free on YouTube.

The real benefit comes from some handy features that let you manipulate playback for transcription.

Click the Settings icon on any YouTube video to adjust the speed of the video.

This can be helpful when trying to pick out notes in a blazingly fast solo, or discerning tricky intervals

You can also use keys like the space bar to pause and play and the arrow keys to jump rewind back and forth

Number four: Tune Transcriber

Taking this idea to the next level is Tune Transcriber, one of the most helpful tools I've ever discovered.

It's a free online tool that allows you to upload a song from an mp3 file or, even more conveniently, a YouTube video

Once uploaded there are tons of ways to manipulate the audio to make it easier to transcribe.

In addition to slowing it down or speeding it up without changing pitch, you can also set specific loop points and

Cycle them with breaks of silence in between each playthrough. These guys really thought of everything.

This is just scratching the surface on everything Tune Transcriber can do and although

There's a paid version the free version is packed full of everything you might need for transcription. For really difficult songs

Where YouTube skipping just won't cut it, look no further.

Number 5: Aural Wiz

Aural Wiz is a free app that helps you train your ears on the go.

It helps you recognize common chords,

intervals, and cadences, which is essential for transcription.

I particularly love the interval training feature,

Which gives you the option to learn the intervals harmonically (played at the same time) or melodically (played one after the other)

This is a great way to improve your ear so that when you do sit down to transcribe,

You're all the more ready to hit the ground running.

Number 6: Game Music Appreciation

There are lots of platforms that let you listen to video game music online, but Game Music Appreciation has a

game-changing feature (pun): the ability to mute and solo

System channels. Ever wonder how Angel Island Zone from Sonic 3 was so intricately layered?

Now you can solo each instrument and study it, transcribe it, and learn it.

This goes for any retro system, from the Super Nintendo, Gameboy

NES... even the Dreamcast

Some may call it cheating, but the goal isn't to be the best transcriber. It's to have an accurate transcription and

To try to have a little fun

So thanks so much for watching, and if there's a particular tool you use to transcribe

(I know there are a bazillion out there)
