Hopefully people don't hate the song choice.
Thought this would be good inspiration - but not a cover of the original..

I'm looking forward to giving it a go as well as one of my others from the shortlist I made. It's hard to choose something
So have I, and I don't own a Jackson either.
I'm always tempted to disclose what I have planned, in the hope that nobody will come up with the same idea and beat me to it.
I had to confess in the 'G' round when @Bezzer publicly wondered if anyone was doing 'Goldfinger'. In the 'H' round I didn't even know most of the songs.
Just a single take with my wife's Ovation Applause straight into a Boss GT001, a single take live vocal and a tiny bit of piano and strings

Drums are EZ Drummer with a transcription of the drum track. I used that Moises site to split the song up and worked through it. Worked quite well, though if anyone has a better way of transcribing drums than Musescore then I'd be interested.
For the organ and piano I used my Christmas present to myself, a Minilab 3 (little 25 key midi keyboard) and banged out single takes for each. I'm not much of a keys player.
Simple acoustic guitar part, bass on my DIY fretless and then the vocals... well, I tried. I bought a real microphone, a cheapo SM57 copy, so at least the sound quality is better this time.
I use Guitar Pro for notating drums and its superb as it allows:-
- Importing MP3 and syncing tempo of MP3 to notation to allow easy checks and replays vs audio
- Has proper drum notation (hihiat articulation, ghost notes, different crash cymbals)
- Has onboard drum sounds to check how notation sounds
- Lots of full songs are available in Guitar pro format (with drums notated) to download from Ultimate Guitar site - this saves lots of time.
- There loads of youtube tutorials (Levi Clay cover alot of the basics)
- Can also be used for guitar, bass, notation etc
- Can export the drum track to Midi to chuck in EZ Drummer.
- Really good formatting options - I can usually get rock songs onto two pages which is much easier for putting on music stands.
- I also print to jpg and use in word to add lyrics to drum scores (this can be done in the app as well, but I find word easier as I can micro tweak the line spacing and text font.)
Heres one Ive done recently to notate a drum part from scratch and check against MP3.
