Dear fellow challengers and Mister Fox.
First of all thanks for the feedback Mister Fox. I've tried to heed most of the things you suggested: I've tuned the trumpets to the key of the project, I've improved the bandwidth of the bass, I've tried to fix the problems with the reverbs...
Apart from that, I want to tell you what I have done this month. To begin with, it is something completely different. I've tried to get closer to Jazz, but as I said, a messy version of Jazz. I thought that this kind of music would look good in the video game, as a description of the construction of a city that is also messy, in patches, with modern things and old things, with multiculturalism... That's why I wanted to make a jazz theme . It also wants to be a tribute to Lalo Schifrin.
Small details, I played two drums at the same time, with slightly different patterns. The bass player has played notes at random but has adapted to the changing rhythms of the drums to raise or lower the speed of the bass.
I've also used free samples for the trumpets. Which I changed the BPMs and tuned (or detuned) to the scale of the project. This was something new for me. He had tweaked little things, but he hadn't hit all the notes on some samples.
Well, I hope you can give me ideas to improve it or highlight what you would have done differently.
Thank you colleagues.
