Who it is for
Who can benefit
Percussion students, film composers, and teachers use this page to isolate marimba, copy an ostinato, and lift rosewood bars for a cue.
Film composers
Lift the wooden bar file for a cue. Park a warm ostinato under dialogue. Keep the orchestra on other if the scene already has string weight.
Teachers
Hand a student the marimba file for mallet practice. Keep the wooden bars on one stem so the class can loop the ostinato together.
Pop producers
Drop the marimba stem on a sketch. Mute the bars and keep the groove. Preview the remainder before you commit a print.
