As others have said, if you can't help, don't try. Again, not being angry or snappy. Just saying. It doesn't help anyone to rant at him here. This is what he wants to be doing and he wants to know if he can do anything better. I actually have some legitimate suggestions for him in this area. You don't, so why come in and just bash him like that?

There are many things wrong with that statement but it does little good to correct them. (And yes, I realize you said "basically.")

As I said, I have some legitimate suggestions which I will make an effort to type up. (Even more so now that he's getting flak on here for posting it.)

Again, not saying you don't have a point, but I maintain that you're being unnecessarily harsh in making it. He's doing what he wants to be doing, for fun. Let him have his fun. You don't have to be a part of it.

Oh come on, let's not be melodramatic here. No one's killing music by making a recreation of a Doctor Who theme, poor or otherwise. And everyone starts somewhere. Not worth getting argumentative over. If you didn't enjoy it and you can't offer technical advice, you're not really in his intended audience. Of course you're welcome to post your opinion anyway, but don't be surprised when you get backlash like this from me and him.
