Transcription may also mean rewriting a piece of music, either solo or ensemble, for another instrument or other instruments than which it was originally intended.
How do you mix different instruments?
Slice and Dice with EQ
- Cut – Cut the same frequency in the snare drum to make the two instruments sit better.
- Boost – Boost the snare a few frequencies higher to mask the effect of clashing instruments.
- Reduce – Lower the volume of either instrument to make the clashes sound less severe.
Why you should play multiple instruments?
You’ll have a lot of musical perspective. This can be a huge advantage. If you play multiple instruments, it means you will understand where all of those instruments come from musically. This means you can understand other musicians better, and what role you should play on the bandstand.

Can You separate instruments in time?
You can also separate instruments in time. Of course instruments can be played at different times to provide separation, and the timeline is a bit like the frequency spectrum: you might want to fill it up without gaps or overlap. But there are other time related aspects of instruments that can help provide separation.
When layering instruments why do they need to be separated?
When layering instruments, they actually need to have some separation in order to not fight with each other. Instruments can be separated by frequency, time, and “space”. Different instruments normally have different prominent frequencies.
