I'm an academic and popular musician and I can help you:
- I can transcribe any song and create a sheet music. I accept home recordings, Youtube or audio files.
- I can transcribe lead melody, intermediate lines, bass, chords, accompanying arpeggios or anything else.
- I can create individual parts from a PDF score: Violin II, flute II, trombone I, etc. In small projects: each 50 measures in a part requires $5. Big projects: Ask for a discount.
- I will manually copy note by note for best results and I'll pay attention to any indication in score: Tempo, articulations, dynamics, rehearsal letter, lyrics, etc.
I can adapt music to another instrument (It could increase the price). Don't worry about register, clef, or transposing.
Basic $20 Gig includes:
- 2 minutes - polyphonic transcription (1 instrument like piano)
or
- 3 minutes - Melody transcription (1 instrument like flute, violin, trumpet...)
Professional transcription.

As with everything else I have received from Rafael, the musicality is exceptional. It's one thing to just put down notes, another to do a transcription that captures all the little nuances and expressivity that make the original something I want transcribed in the first place, and Rafael delivers on the second part where others cannot.
