Didnt notice those when I was doing the final tweaks... I freezed the woodwind tracks to save on RAM, but reaper propably messed something up during the rendering the freezed stems.
Completely agree with you on the blandness of the first half, lost the plot a bit after the first few days of the jam and only managed to add the tutti hits to it later on 😅
Glad you liked it, hope to see you in the next ones!
