Hi. Had a hard rejection on this one:

I would be very thankful for some tipps to have better luck in the future.
What do you think? Mixing Quality? Or is it just crap? 
Great composition. In my opinion the reason of reject is mixing. Try clear resonances of each instruments. Paning of solo parts will be nice too. And i think track needs a compression 
Thank you so much for your reply!
Not so easy to handle a reject of a work with so much blood, sweat an tears in it;)
So I will try to follow your advices and improve my mixing skills.

Hey, I like your composition a lot, too!
In addition to what EvieEmerald said, which is absolutely true (most of the tracks, especially the melody instruments, are in desperate need of some compression and maybe a more ‘aggressive’ eq, i mean, they are the parts which should stand out, right?):
The sax sounds too much VST-like, you hear the artificial vibrato very clearly, I think that’s quite problematic, kills the vibe for me a bit.
I think the (actually quite cool) drum programming could use a more ‘human’ approach too: it simply sounds too programmed at times.
Other than that, when mixed properly, this will be a stellar track.
Some compression tutorials:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2CxMCkvml8 (a good theoretical explanation)
Also quite important, when it comes to mixing: compare your track to other tracks you admire! Especially frequency-wise thereby you will detect your faults and maybe be able to correct them 
WOW. I can´t say how much I apprechiate that you spent so much time for
such a detailed analysis of what went wrong with the track. That is so helpful for me!
Thank you very much AudioCroissant!
Think I will spent the next days to study your tutorial-links. I often had a problem when it comes
to mixing. Hope some day my ears will be skilled enough to hear what a good mix has to sound like.
If I will ever be in the lucky position to get a song published on Audiojungle this success
will have a large due to you all. Thanks!
