Alright if you click on my profile picture you can listen to my two ideas that I have uploaded they are in wma so you will find them under audio video section. I have had Reason and protools for about 2 months and these are my first ideas (notice that they are ideas being unfinished). I just want some input on the tone and direction of the music. I dont want it to sound Churchy... or poppy. Any ways I already realize that there is sh*t for percussion which im aiming to fix via recruiting a decent percussionist i can email my compressed files to or one local. Hit up all the criticizm your heart can handle and leave me some nasty comments. And maybe a good one here and there so I dont quit haha.
Okay - 1st one - it's okay. Capt Scott would be better to critique this, I think, as he's into all that spaciness. I like it, but yeah, it needs development. Don't like the over-echoed sound for the most part. Beginners always overdo the effects. Try to back them down a tad in the future. Let the instruments speak, and use the effects to set a subtle mood, rather than having the effects overpower what the instrument says.
2nd one - vox are buried in effects again. Other than that, it's too short to see where it could go. Develop it some more & I'll try again. The echoing "Edge" style guitar is okay for a short time, like one tune, but it gets old for me quickly.
You have some potential thingies here, but I'd have worked a bit more on them before I would put them out there for comments.
Enjoy
