Sounds great. Demonstrates versatility. The first tune should be a vocal, and compared to the rest, I think it is too long.

thanks, mosc. now, my reasoning for not putting a singer first is because, if i'm wooing a singer, i can tell them that they should listen "past" the first thing. For commercial houses, I really wanted to get that song first, and the latin-y thing soon after, because they are "meant" for tv, and you have them or lose them in the first two minutes. that's why it starts with a "soap opera" and then goes "urban"(i thought i'd surely shoot myself before i ever used that word in that context-lol), and then goes "latin"

and- i read that i should vary the length... to show that i could develop things. did that piece lose you?

thanks again for the criticism

i agree with Mosc

the first track seems out of place and does not compell me as much as the others

good recordings and mixes tho...

and demonstrates good skill in all the related categories

extra points for mixing drum and bass beats with vocals Smile

Now, but after a while it didn't show me anything new, or very little. If I was busy, it may have caused me to stop the playback and think I understand what this guy can do. I'd put short stuff first so the listener immediately sees that the demo has a lot of variety.

point taken.

i need to round this out, anyway, with some stuff with less vocals, so i'll have to re-tool it again. thank you

This sounds very good. I have now idea how such a demo should sound like, but this sounds good to me. Did you write all the music yourself?
