Thanks for the clarification. I found a picture of AC online "Aaron Copland under umbrella, University of Kansas, 1973." Maybe there are others, too.

I'm sure your mean the zylo cause there's no marimba on this track. I'll check them out next time I re-visit the track. Usually it's eq or comp issues with zylo's more than a level one. With lots of tracks on this project I usually need to take Coco's advice before releasing... 3 hours ago, Wookiee said: Now what to say about this @Hidden Symmetry Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet loved the tones, loved the playing, the mix was superb here on the Adams. oved it.

The piano thing with bars you hit with felt sticks to make that sound. 😑 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The zylo sample used on this track was probably done using hard rubber mallets, not felt.. but yeah it's a melodic percussion instrument playing with the melody.
