PRESENTING THE NET'S FIRST PRO TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE!!

DEAR FELLOW MUSICIAN,

If you're a songwriter, melodist or music publisher with a need to notate your work for protection and potential earnings (through deposit with a collecting society, to name the most common requirement in many countries), BUT
  • you don't know how to write music and don't know anyone who does
  • you don't know how to write music, could find someone who does, but are reluctant to entrust your opus to strangers - hey, they might rip off your piece, overcharge you and/or give you an incorrect transcription you have no way of validating
  • you have basic music writing skills, but you're unsure of or just can't figure out certain passages
  • you know how to write music but don't have the time and need fast, reliable service


LISTEN TO THIS:

I'm Mark Harris, an American producer and music industry "name" in Italy since the early 70s, and I've known and worked with scores (in both senses) of copyists and transcribers over the years.

Now, let me assure you one thing: I've used computers since word "goto"
 - from an early garage-built Mac in the mid-70s through the Fairlight C.M.I.s I demonstrated in the 80s to today's blistering (not a reference to my fingers) Mac G4s! -
and without a doubt the professional popular-music transcriber-cum-copyist is an endangered species, CERTAINLY irreplaceable by any computer program!

Proper music transcription is a craft, and a very demanding one at that.

Believe me, even if you buy the most expensive programs that take audio, convert it to midi and print out the results, WYDSIWYG: what you didn't sing is what you get!!!! And even when it's close, the hassle of correcting the results (provided you're in any position to do so) is an excruciating task.

So what you really need is an old-timer with patiently honed, seemingly effortless expertise.

AND HERE HE IS!

My number-one choice for the job is Maestro B., grand master of what the Chinese would call the "kung fu" of pop music transcription.

B. is a spry 70-year-old with a steadier hand than most marksmen and a pair of golden ears that translate melodies into perfectly turned-out parts, and he's been plying his craft for the world's biggest record companies and thousands of artists since times B.B.B. (Before the Beatles Broke up)!

A widely recognized expert in the business, his services are coveted by Italy's top artists. I can't print his full name because he's under exclusive contract (at his age!) with a major, but for these top artists, for me, and FOR YOU, he'll work "on the side"!

B. does use a computer, but only as an agenda; all the music he delivers is beautifully hand-written.

Italy is the land where the system of notation that musicians commonly use world-wide was born and perfected: what better place to get the job done, and by a reknowned expert who has inherited the precious tradition of quality transcription?

WHAT TO DO:

  • First send a commission request (specifying track quantity and length) to ; we'll send you a client code, pricing and an order form.
  • Meanwhile prepare an MP3 or similar audio-file (.wav or AIFF) of your melody (or melodies, each a seperate file), with a simple harmonic accompaniment or even no accompaniment at all as long as the timing and intonation is perfectly clear (remember we're talking about simple pop songs running under 5 minutes)!
  • Then, upon completion of the order form, send us an email with your file attached.
  • We'll dump them on CD and give them to the Maestro He'll confirm your order and estimate the job turnaround (we'll let you know: even in very busy periods this shouldn't exceed a week).
  • Once finished, we then mail the finished score to you priority-post (we keep a photocopy as back-up).
    Seemless, effortless. This is a songwriter's dream come true, and a truly useful service for publishers and performers which we are proud (and surprised) to be offering for the first time over the Internet! Solve your problems today with an Italian Maestro!!
