I'm working on my next multitrack (and am having a BALL btw, this one is so much fun), and I'm getting to a point where I have to do something I'm not good at in order to serve the song the way I want to. Learn a part of it by ear, and for a different instrument. So I'm asking for help at what your process is.
Let's say you hear a song and there's a clarinet solo in it that you want to put into your arrangement of the song, but on something else, like ukulele or guitar. How would you go about transcribing the piece? Also assume you can't find tab or sheet music on the part you're looking to do.
I've thought about putting the music into an editing program and prolonging each note and putting a tuner up to my speakers, then writing out the notes and figuring out how to play them-- that'll take forever though so I was wondering if anyone has any better ways before I hop to it.
