NEED SOMEONE TO 'COMPOSE' OR 'TRANSCRIBE' AN EXISTING SONG [PAID]

Ok, sort of a weird request here.

There's a song I want to use in my game, but it only appears in episodes of a TV show, and is not on the OST in the version I want to use.

I have tried downloading episodes and using a vocal remover and fooling with the equalizer to no avail, I have also tried splicing it together from clips and it just sounds terrible. I have tried to compose it myself using MP3 software, but I have no idea how to compose music and am just wasting my time.

So, I am looking for someone to essentially listen to the song, and then recreate it as accurately as possible. It isn't that complicated, it's about a minute and a half long, but it's mostly a repetitive ominous chant with no instruments at all for the entire thing. I'm well aware that songs like this are a dime a dozen, but this is the one I'd like to have.

I don't think it would take much effort at all to anyone who knows what they're doing, so if you're interested PM me or reply and I'll send you the clip and we can discuss payment

Thanks!
I might be able to. Is there any specific time you need it transcribed by?
I'm not in any hurry. I'll send you the file, just let me know how much of a hassle you think it would be and how much you think it's worth.
Hmm. There's no way I'll be able to recreate it. I can certainly transcribe it into sheet music, but I don't have the right voice to recreate it. Are you okay with that?
You can use Anvil Studio to write out midi files. After that, get someone you know with a great voice to sing the song, and compile it all together (I dunno that final part, never made a mp3) as an Mp3.
ah ok. Yeah maybe transcribe wasn't the right word to use, I wasn't sure what to call it. I know it isn't possible to make it sound exactly the same, but how close do you think it would be possible to get?

Sheet music isn't really what I'm looking for, I suppose I could do a MIDI and then run it through one of those MP3 conversion programs if you don't think it would be at all possible to make a decent sounding version of it.

Just to be clear, I'm not looking for anyone to actually sing it, I'm ok with using synthesizer or something to get as close as possible.
In that case, I would follow bulma's advice. Sorry I can't help!
What's the song? From what TV show?
I'm not remarkably musically inclined however it sounds to me like it's just the same three notes arranged in a slightly different order. Here is the first 40 seconds of what I got from the song. Again, I could be(and very likely am) wrong...

Click here - 40 second splice...

You may want to link your rip of the song here as well. There are far more talented people on this site then I, I'm sure you could get better results if they knew what you were looking for.
It is pretty repetitive, but you ran into the same problem I did when I tried to splice it together, I kept picking up bits of the SFX or voices or there were clicks and pops where I stuck two sections together and the tempo changes too. I'm not at all knocking your effort and I really appreciate your help, but apart from having it 'recreated' I'm not sure what else to do. There are some changes in pitch throughout too despite the repetitive sound.

It's frustrating that its never played in the show in a way to where I can ever get more than the first ten or fifteen seconds without getting SFX or talking.

For anyone interested the file is in my locker, but I'll link it here, it's from an episode of fullmetal alchemist. The song is on the OST, but for some reason the choir chanting has been replaced with a pipe organ which totally ruins the feel of the original song.

Ok, if no one here thinks they'd be up to it, does anyone know of a freelance composer for games or anything like that who might be willing to do it?
Ok, so, can anyone here compose decent MIDIs? My original offer still stands.

EDIT: NM found someone to do it.
If you're still looking for some MIDI help please contact me. I'm an expert with transcribing MIDI and will get the job done on time and on spec.
