What do you think of my demo reel?

Too long? Too short? Not enough contrast? Some pieces sticking out?

It’s about 5 min, mostly electronica type of music, from upbeat to ambient.

Thanks in advance! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Hey,

I'm listening to it right now. Is there a way to trim the leading noise? It is quite harsh. At about 1:50 your slow audio sounds like it has "ultra pops". An old problem from sound cards that weren't completely Sound Blaster compatible or devices that were DSP based. I haven't heard that prominent clicking sound since the 1990s.

Nothing against you but I'm more into the fast paced style of electronica / techno. I like the slower stuff but I'm just not in the mood for it most of the time. The rest of the demo sounded fine.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking time to listen.

Didn't here any pops though. Tried in different places, sounds ok... Have to admit, though, that particular piece was a bit rushed, just pulled from a composition still in works, so will have to redo it anyway.

Cheers and thanks again for your feedback.

Why aren't each of the samples given the same playing time? In a way this sounds more like game music than the longer version.

Hmm.. no particular reason, just wanted to keep it interesting to listen to. Thanks for checking it out :-)
