Hi Mads !
I think this track has a nice atmosphere. The main motif popping at 1:06 and 1:48 is simple and beautiful (simple is not a bad word).
In my humble opinion, the main thing you could try to improve is the horizontal writing. To put things simply, vertical writing is "just" chords following each other. Horizontal writing is the art of voice leading, the art of writing nice and musical individual lines for each instrument, that follow these chords without too much movement.
That's what I'm missing in your track with the strings. Even if the chords are nice, strings are sometimes confusing as there is no clear melodic line for each section.
Hope this was clear, and of course this is just my personal opinion ! I think this is great for 3 weeks, though

Ok? And exactly What do you think is so bad?
But Mads again: What Adam and I mention here IS TOTAL Normal...believe me: Everybody goes through such process and one thing: we are still practising all exact that same things which Adam and I mentioned. I do that everyday. So just to bare in mind: Our little feedback is just constructive meaning in a good manner, and when you practise it you will get better by the time. I assure you that
I think I will leave this forum.
If everyone makes the same type of music, and everyone should do the same - who is bored then?
Thanks.
Yes I agree!I am not sure if I understand correctly. I wasn´t talking about that everybody has to do write in the same idiom or style of music. Please read what I have written. I was saying that it is also important to make a connection to the audience, isn´t it?
Yes I agree!
But If everyone has to do AS this Mike says.. then all music will be the same right?

No, of course I want critique. But I think your post was negative, not constructive. Big differense there.¨
Also, I would like you to explain this: if you do not want to hear critique, what was the reason for posting, collecting compliments?

Sorry @AdamAlake but I think your first posts were quite brutal indeed. The guy is just starting out, why being so harsch ? @AlexanderSchiborr gave a great and detailed explanation but you just played the Mike Verta card (with all due respect to Mike Verta !), and that felt very cold.
Yep, you gave a better explanation of your thoughts after, but the first one was more or less : "That sucked. Watch this. Take lessons. You have a lot to learn." Of course he has !
That being said, you may be right and maybe this kind of "brutal honesty" is what some people need. I know I wouldn't like that. But I'm french.
