the comment is quite complete…
This submission does not meet AudioJungle’s commercial production (recording/mixing/mastering) standard, and its commercial composition/arrangement standard either, unfortunately.

I guess it is as everydoes… Could anyone translate it to me in much more practical way? I believe there are both good and bad or my work and I really need some practical guideline on how to improve.

Hope you guys would like to share more with my work. thanks!

I like a lot of elements of it. The panning is too much I think. Maybe don’t have it pan at all.

The piano is a little, poundy? Hard to describe. It’s not bad, but it’s not my favorite.

thank you so much jack. i am not a pianist indeed, i guess i won’t have great sense on making it ‘realistic’.
but still i need some direction on my work… i can’t figure out how to move on!

Hmm, maybe try a lower velocity and then boost the gain a bit to make up for the volume loss. Also, slightly varied velocities help a lot! What piano sample are you using?

The piano is panned too much and the strings which keep going both of sides are distracting.
At the minute 1:20 those other ones seem a bit fake, add some reverb.
