TKenrick Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I've recently tarted up overhauled my bass blog and transcriptions website and I'm currently wading through my Sibelius folder of unfinished transcriptions in an effort to get some new stuff up on the site. I started posting transcriptions that I'd done for gigs or as requests from students a few years ago and now have roughly 100 pdfs in the archive which are free to download. There are also some play-along videos for a handful of the more popular transcriptions. I thought I'd start a thread for posting new transcriptions and site updates rather than cluttering up the forum with lots of individual posts.Link is here: www.freebasstranscriptions.com Feedback is most welcome, particularly if BCers have transcription requests or suggestions for improvements!

I use an old version of Sibelius for writing things out, other than that it's spotify > vox headphone amp > cheap headphones. If I'm working on something that's really complicated then I'll use Quicktime 7 or the Tempo Slow iPad app to slow things down and loop sections.

Yeah, midi keyboard and numeric keypad (for note lengths and articulation) are important parts of the Sibelius equation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
