Do you know how to produce in scale ?

I am not sure what I am hearing, but I do like Brandy, hear something.

Lets start here, the vid of music bear, is that old news to you, or is it new ?

Yop,

I checked the notes of the bass line and the brass section, and indeed, there were some sharp notes.
Since the song is supposed to be in C major, there would be no sharp notes (if I understood the theory in the right way)
I corrected them, and yes, it now sounds better.

The new version is online : https://soundcloud.com/user-121938440/east-winded-dub

I tried to listen to the video of Musicbear on youtube, not sure I understood everything (I'm quite fine with written English, but when it comes to spoken English, things are not that smooth).

It seems the video is about the few points of musicaI theory I already studied in French (the scales and the notes that sound good in a particular scale).

Anyway, thank you guys for pointing out my mistakes!

Lets wait what Brandy says, but I think it sounds better already.

And don't worry too much about scales.
When I started serious making music, and put my first track on this forums, people asked if I was tone deaf.

These days I still use the scale tool, but I don't need it as much as I used too.

This is not uncommon to people starting to make music. Our ears need a bit of training.

You will also notice that some notes not belonging to the scale still sound good.

Okay, from these parts of the track, are the out of key parts.
Note: I marked out the points, on the track on soundcloud, in case anyone wants to see.
42 to 44 secs
1:23 to 1:26 secs
2:04 to 2:08 secs.

.....when both melodies play, they sound out tune/key with each other.
It's like the bassy dub melody is playing in one pitch/key, and the trumpet sounding melody
is playing in another pitch/key. So they both sound, as if they are not from the same track.

But despite that, both melodies sound cool though.

Yep. It does sound much better, than the previous version.
I even put time stamps, that show where the tracks melodies, start to sound out of tune
with each other.

Yep. That is so true.
Even I myself have realised that, in many other Lmms tracks.
And even though Mo Stitchi's track, has out of key melodies, it still sounds good.

And they even have a strange word, for music that has out of tune melodies etc.
They call it Atonal or Atonality.
