enthnal Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Maybe this is a stupid question but I have just started to toy around with any type of music making. I pull a chiptune of an old game and want to do what I think is a good start which is recreating the original tune in FL9 but I seem to be listen to just the openining notes over and over again and not being able to recreate about the same sound. I guess my question is, is there an easier way then trial and error with the piano roll to get what I am trying to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 There's really no easy trick to transcribing by ear, learning some theory could help, but other than that just practice a lot. If all you want to do is get the notes into FL, then there's probably a midi file of that song over at vgmusic.com If you're just trying to learn transcribing by ear, I would recommend starting with something other than chiptunes, as they tend to have complex really fast melodies with pitch bends, vibrato, portamento, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
