Advice On Best Approach on How to Emulate a Classical Piece into Ableton
General Producer Chat
Hello,
Im completely a hobbyist, beginner and no interest in releasing music - unfortunately i don't get tons of time for this hobby!
I was listening to some of the Bridgerton classical music by Kris Bowers and there are some really beautiful melodies i'd like to effectively "copy"/Remix into Ableton and experiment playing them through different electronic instruments - just thought it would be fun and challenging.
I cant read sheet music but have got some basic music theory having watched lots of YT videos on the subject.
My goal is to create a basic facsimilie of the melody using a Grand Piano instrument and underlying "pad chords" (currently violins in the song) as "my starting point" which i can then experiment with different synths etc and add a bassline, percussion etc to make it into a track
What is the fastest, best approach to get my baseline setup - here is what i was thinking:
1) play the song into a music file using Audigy
2) Import that audio into Abelton as my reference track so i can understand the baseline for speed etc
3) Wondered if i could use Scaler 3 to midi listen and output some midi - never used this feature in scaler - thoughts?
3.1) use various websites with the sheet music to get the notes / chords and the notes per bar to get that then sounding right
Thanks for any and all input 
DAW: Ableton Suite 12.2
