Yes I am working on mambos in eight bar phrases where the phrase ends sharply on beat one of the next eight bar phrase, the next three beats are mute for all of the instruments while the melody starts alone, then all of the instruments begine on the next bar. In essence I want to mute beats 2,3,4 in one bar.
This is in a popular tune called "Sway"
Got any ideas?
