Every time a defendant is "held to answer" after preliminary hearing, the court reporter prepares a transcript of the proceedings. Your attorney will get that at the arraignment on the information.
Alternatively, you can contact the court reporter directly and request a copy. You'll have to pay for that one though.

By paying your lawyer the amount necessary to buy the reporter's transcript, assuming there was a reporter.
