I really liked how they conversed about the subject.

I'm not a musician....what does transcribe actually mean?

[@blake1267]

Lol if you're a gospel musician you always transcribe, most of us don't read music.

Talk about unwritable rhythms, transcribing Sarah Vaughan singing a ballad for me was like ummmmm...uhhh

what does transcribe actually mean? I’ve seen videos saying it was transposing certain phrases but on other vids I see they’re saying it’s writing down the heard notes on note.
