Question 1

What can I expect from Music Transcription freelancers on Fiverr?

Accepted Answer

Most trained professional musicians can do transcription but very few have the knowledge of audio notation, experience with editing software and ​​highly developed ears to work as transcribers and create lead sheets, detailed scores, guitar tablature etc. from a mere recording. From complex song arrangements and transcriptions for one or more monophonic or polyphonic instruments to lyrics or composing of a melody, you’ll be able to get it all in the right gig package or as a custom offer.

Question 2

How can I make sure that the freelancer I hire will deliver high-quality output?

Accepted Answer

The best way to ensure that you hire someone who will deliver high-quality service is to start with a clear set of requirements. Once you’ve got that, check out the available freelancers in the category or submit a detailed buyer request so they can contact you. Don’t forget to specify what the service will include, especially if the gig doesn’t mention it, e.g. project file delivery, whether lyrics are included and how complex your piece is.

Question 3

What does the freelancer need from me in order to start the work?

Accepted Answer

Most freelancers would prefer that you contact them before ordering, especially for a custom offer. Whether you need sheet music to play with your band or arrangements that will take your sound to the next level but be fun to play, the freelancer will need to understand really well what you’re looking for, to solve your problem. The higher the quality of the audio and/or video files you provide, the better the final sheets or arrangements.

Question 4

How do I know if my budget will be enough to hire a Music Transcription freelancer?

Accepted Answer

Accurate music transcription requires great experience, skills and time. There are three main elements defining the price - length of the recording (usually in seconds), the complexity of playing and the number of instruments. Even though you can get amazing deals on Fiverr, make sure you also have realistic expectations and respect the time, effort and skill that the freelancer invests in your project. For best results and mutual satisfaction always contact the seller beforehand.

Question 5

How accurate will the transcriptions be?

Accepted Answer

Most musicians offering services on Fiverr are very proud of their experience and the professionalism with which they deliver the final product. You can rest assured that if you do your research properly and identify the right artist to work with, the note for note accuracy of the final music transcription will be top-notch. Normally, you can also find Audio examples (MIDI files) and Visual examples (PDF files) of the artist’s work with original and transcribed versions for you to compare in their galleries.

Question 6

How many modifications can I expect to get with my order?

Accepted Answer

This really depends on the freelancer you work with, on the complexity of the project and on the price you’re prepared to pay. However, bear in mind that a modification or ‘revision’ as it’s commonly known on Fiverr, should only be used to alter and adjust the already delivered result, not to change the requirements altogether. Communication before and during the work will save you unnecessary animosity and ensure you get the best value for your money.
