So me now is blunt, direct and very objective
(so you would benefit 100% from my perspective, ok ? Otherwise I’d say “it’s a cool track man”)
- One of my small web-apps got “soft rejected” because it was too “bare-bones”, even if the ideea behind it was good.
Your song sounds like it is ready 70% for AudioJungle, meaning you have to work more, add more channels,
not all channels have to be loud like the guitar is, but here and there, almost perceptible to create a smooth thing, even if the whole ideea is summer punk. It’s the same as if you have good milk and put it in a “Just milk” white cartboard, instead of creating a really nice package for it.

Mastering of the song is just pumping the sounds louder, but you still have to work on frequencies (EQs, compressors) so the overall thing sounds professional. Also consider having stereo spacing, it helps.

The main guitar theme is punk rock, very good and happy, but it’s so loud that anyone that hear this track would say you’re good but a beginner. Here they want professional stuff that can be basically used in commercial areas (TV, professional video, radio, you name it). So keep the distortion of the guitar, but slide the guitar channel volume a lot lower. I think this is what scared the reviewer, if you ask me
So basically you have a good ideea, it took the form of a song, but trust me, the reviewers heard tons of songs until now, of every genre in the market. Yours just doesn’t have all the attributes to fit in.
The song is great, but you just uploaded it too early if you ask me. Next time make sure everything sounds impecably clean, volumes are ok, watermark not too loud not too shabby, stereo image of the song ok,
and you have enough channels in the song not to be too thing but also not too complex (unless you’re working on a symphonic thing where that’s how it should be).
I hope all these can help you get rid of your hard rejects in the future.
cheers
