Uman's : "Funky Beat Style" (Jam)

[Uman's]

Hi all,

One of my rare attempts to mimic a real group of musicians.

The experience is not easy !

Your comments are welcome.

I like it, it does capture the vibe of a bunch of musicians meeting up to jam away

Thanks my friend, that was the idea !

The sound of jamming is already quite well done, then I´m missing some irregulations, a little human touch to the playing, a turning up the guitar amp with a hum plsu feedback before starting to actually play, also some laying hands on the instruments before playing the riff, something like some testing chords or whatsoever. Aswell some variation in the way the riffs are played. Currently it feels they are simply being repeated with identical emphasis, sound, colour, intensity. Players like Enlightened Speed´s Note Filter and Note Alter to introduce probability and variation of notes and velocities can help here a lot. Slight keyboard slides or string touches for the guitar on top can add additional feeling.
I find the clap to lessen the illusion of a live jam because it sounds synthetic and is placed quite upfront in the middle even though it could come from an actual synth. Would experiment with roomier reverbs here.

Altogether already mostly a good catch on the sound side of things. Just still too perfect sounding for a true jam I find.
