Ronnie, as much as I generally enjoy reading your posts these days, you are being rather silly in this particular case. He clearly (at least to me) posted this track looking for advice on how to improve it (and obviously only in the ways he is capable of exploring at this point in time). He cannot afford to run out and buy an orchestral library, nor would I advise him to do so as it's frankly a waste of money if all you're going to do is Doctor Who themes. There's nothing wrong with having fun with what you have available, learning as you go and seeking advice and feedback upon which to grow. This is exactly what I did five years ago, except I didn't have a place like this to post my work and seek feedback from people who knew what they were doing. I don't see why he shouldn't avail himself of the opportunities that he has. As he has said perfectly eloquently, if it were a final product he would have posted it to Whomix. He posted it here as it is developing. If you cannot help him develop it in valid ways, then I agree, you probably shouldn't be here commenting. You should treat aspiring musicians posting early work as what they are—not tell them to pack it in and go home, or at least disappear until they're suddenly, magically good at everything. Because then he'll never be any good.
And just for the record, when I started making music five years ago, I never intended or planned on writing original music or doing anything other than Doctor Who themes. But after I became good with the software and the environment, I branched out. The same might happen here. Don't discourage someone who's just getting started.
