[Action / SciFi trailer]

Good, but I have a few comments. The solo violin sound is a bit too harsh for me and is very hollow sounding. Its not pleasant at all on the ears, maybe try a marcato sound instead. I also think the entrance of the violin at around 1:09 seems a little off. Besides those few little negatives you got good work here. The cello sounds pretty decent and when the other strings that enter sound good as well. Overall good job.

I was going for a very hallow violin sound, harsh was pretty much the intended effect. Supposed to sound like the violin is being played very forcefully I agree that 1:09 is a bit strange, but it made the most sense out of any transition into the next phrase.

Overall the piece is pretty decent, but I really think you need to add more variety to it. It sorta got boring for me after a while. Some ways you can achieve variety is adding more chord changes or adding a new rhythm. Like when you transitioned to your second section that was nice, but when you went back to the first section at around 2:45 I thought you were going to take it too a new place, but you ended up just repeating. I dunno, I don't usually listen to the "world" genre. So take my criticism with a grain of salt.

[Space Quest II]

Nice. I really liked the intro, especially the comm chatter. I wish you had included more of that throughout the piece, which I think would of given it some more charm. Otherwise the overall sound is good.
