Thanks for the feedback, everyone. It is helpful to receive. I feel like I’ve gotten in too much of a routine with my mixing.
That being said, however, I feel like you are giving me things that would cause for a “soft rejection.” Basically you’re saying, ‘If you make these simple changes, this song would be good to go.’ What I got from Envato, however, was a “hard rejection.” A hard rejection means the song is fundamentally flawed; that it isn’t fixable for the Envato market; that there is no hope for “Hopeful Sunrise.”
This is mainly why I’m confused. Does anyone have anything to say in regards to this? Thanks!
