Hy to everyone,
This track got hard rejected. I know there are a lot of these track. But I tried to add some different transition after 1:25.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve. I don’t seem to get a corporate track accepted lately.
Thanks,

Hey there,
First off, I want to say that I’m new here and definitely not an expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
So, I think this is a cool track but in my opinion, there are two main things that could improve your track:
-
levels (volumes):
For example, the piano chords at the intro are too loud, the bongos drum that starts at 0:18 is too loud as well (and a bit dry, maybe some reverb would help).
If I were you, I would leave the track for a day or two and come back and listen to it with “fresh ears”. Then you’ll be able to hear clearly what volume changes you should make. -
The melody has something nice going for it, but could possibly be improved. Maybe play around with it and try some new ideas…
I might be wrong with my advice, but that what came to my mind when I listen to your track.
Good luck
some reverses peak! also the kick is too compressed ! these are on the mix !
now on the melody i cant really tell ! i like the melody !
Agree with MarklarMusic for levels, you need a better balance of levels.
Also try adding more life in the song before 1:26
At 1:26 that strings and piano are very emotional, but they are like they are from different song.
You need to “marry” those parts.
Otherwise its a nice soft song
Thanks guys for the tips !
I will leave it for a few days and work on the levels, compression etc…
Sure it’s a bit of a marriage, but with the same theme. I’m not sure anymore (after 10 days) if it can work.
A couple of things I noticed: Firstly I think the sample quality of the instruments is not quite on par. Piano sounds okay, but the rest sounds kinda cheap, including the strings. Furthermore it’s a matter of balance as well. There is little cohesion between the stages the track has. From 1:25, like Pandocrator said, it seems like a whole different track. And lastly the drums are really dry and ‘clean’ I would like a little bit more ‘oompf’.
Good luck!
Oke. Thanks for the remarks.
