Instant Mandolin
Need to add a unique shimmer and rhythmic drive to your track? The Instant Mandolin is one of our secret weapons for just that.
A cool trick we love is using the built-in Strummer on a very low mix setting, tucking it just underneath your main drums and bass. It can create a propulsive, energetic rhythm that isn't obviously a mandolin, adding a really unique organic texture.
Of course, it's also a beautiful lead instrument. Its bright, clear voice is perfect for cutting through a mix for a memorable folk-inspired melody. We’ve seen you use it in everything from cinematic cues to pop, and we love the creativity!
