Guest drukqs Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 As everyone surely knows, there is a video on youtube of a high school steel drum band performing Alberto Balsalm that was posted some time ago. I am in a steel drum band at my high school as well, and a few months back, I sent my teacher some of RDJs stuff, a lot of it from Drukqs. He particularly liked Alberto Balsalm. Just a few days ago, he asked me if I could get the sheet music for it so we could play it, and I was certain I could find it, but I can't. I even contacted the youtube user AND the conductor of the arrangement and both were met with unresponse. Does anyone out there have it? Or know how to transcribe it?

Guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) If you can't find sheet music for it, your best chance is probably to manually transcribe the song to MIDI. I'm 100% sure there's hundreds of midi to sheet music converters. If you don't know how to transcribe songs to midi, it's pretty easy. The way I usually do it is I just pop an mp3 of the song into FL Studio (this is, of course, doable in pretty much any non-tracker DAW of course,) find the right tempo, set up the different midi instruments/channels based on the ones within the song, and play and copy down the notes one by one for each pattern in each part. Once you get in the flow of it, it should only take like, 45 minutes or so.

When was the last time you listened to Alberto Balsalm? It's pretty drum heavy, and percussion heavy. I can clearly see AB played on any drums, let alone steel drums. Oh, and he pwned you, LOL.
