This is my first time composing, I have a ton of songs that I've written, and they're all ad lib, I just hut record and start playing.
they're a little bit choppy, but hey they're all improvised lol.

Yeah...how about some melody? This is all randomness, I say! I recommend spending a lot more time on these, and actually develop something, rather than improvise some stuff if you want to be taken seriously. I'm sure you can do a better job than this. Even someone's first compositions (that is, if you're not just fooling around) should have some sort of form. Sit down and have some patience, man!

well thanks for the advice, I tend to have music a.d.d. so I'm bouncing all over the place, but right now I'm working on something more... something with structure

Yeah... I agree with Maestro... :unsure: You should give your songs melody and structure, which I really don't see in your songs.

no i only sent a middle portion of it, the beginning is done but it takes a bit, the ending isn't finished yet

It's a good eight measures, but eight measures do not a piece make.
You seem to have good ideas. I would study some conventional forms, make an outline for your piece, and fill in the blanks.

I like the delay effect a lot. I think it's a really good idea - not song. I think you should make an intro to slowly set in the mood, and then maybe introduce that. ;)

Ooh, I like the suspense in the beginning. The strings just like... Wam! There! Too sudden. Also, sometimes the instruments sounded a little too loud and boomy. I like this song a lot, though. It has a lot of potential, in my opinion.
Nicely done. Just keep working on it. :)
