In music, an arrangement is a musical adaptation of an existing composition. Differences from the original composition may include reharmonization, melodic paraphrasing, orchestration, or formal development.

In music, a transcription is the written and notated form of a recording, live performance, or video recording. Transcribing requires extremely excellent listening skills and a very high level of precision, detail and proficient comprehension of music theory and the musical language.

Orchestrating involves assigning different instruments music to play based off of a written composition or musical work. Orchestrating is performed by an orchestrator or sometimes a music director.

Most transcriptions take about 2 to 3 days to complete depending on the genre, complexity of the piece, and the length of the piece of music.

A lead sheet or fake sheet is a form of written musical notation that specifies the essential elements of a popular song: the melody, lyrics and harmony. The melody is notated on a staff, the lyric is written as text below the staff, and the harmony is specified with chord symbols above the staff.

If you are looking to perform or record with a large ensemble of musicians, it is important to have a music conductor. The conductor's job is to guide the musicians through the music. The conductor signals the musicians to come in at certain points. They works with them to get the correct tone and expression that the director and music composer want to convey.

Connecticut. I write most of my music remotely from my home studio in Connecticut. However, I will travel for projects. When working with clients I prefer to collaborate in person, but I also work with them virtually. When it comes to songwriting, I enjoy being in the room with my collaborators because I like the instant feedback. If the project is a film score, I like to have the spotting sessions in person with the director. When it comes to live recording sessions with musicians, I have access to multiple recording studios in Connecticut that I work from.

In filmmaking, Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.
