Can you give me some feedback on this track? I don’t really understand why it was hard rejected?

Hey,
I don’t know why - sounds good to me!
Great production by the way, so I can’t think that’s the reason
Seems to share some similarities to your ‘Fashionable Electronic Pop Dance’, with the sped up/slowed down vocals and catchiness (I know they’re different tempos and styles) - that one sold so why could this one not as well?
I can imagine this on some kind of sports video, or maybe a product demo, or showing off skills video etc etc, or anything requiring some catchy, quirky energy
The only thing I can think is maybe it was a little too unusual for the particular reviewer - not that it’s totally wacky or anything
It still sounds commercial to me, but there are some quite quirky sounds and ideas going on - but I like it for that reason, and would have thought it would help it to stand out a bit more.
Maybe someone with more AJ experience than me can shed some further light…
Hi David, thanks for your feedback! I worked hard on this, so I’m hoping that I can resubmit after some changes. This version on the soundcloud is clean version, I had some nature/beach noises in the background on the intro and break in the main version, so that might be the problem…
Hi no problem
That could well be it
Good luck with the resubmit!
I guess beach and nature fx noises were the problem. I resubmited clean version and it got accepted!
I’m very happy this turned out well, I even put together my first youtube video with some cool parkour video footage. I think it works great for that purpose
Great stuff all round and I like the video too
Great track and video WaveToys! Excellent work
are we allowed to resubmit hard rejcted tracks? I thought that wasn’t possible…
You have to make major changes to resubmit. Also, I’ve put a note to reviewer that this was rejected but I will like to resubmit and listed changes that I’ve done.
Hi! I’m glad you managed to resubmit and get approved. My track was also rejected (hard) by AudioJungle and I would love to hear some tips on why you might think this is the case. All feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi @FYAudio!
I think the problem is quality of your samples and mix and mastering. Guitar sounds very dry, drums are too quiet and lo-fi, the whole track sounds a bit dark, you need to make it brighter and clean low end a bit. Arangement is too streched and doesn’t have logical flow. Piano sounds a bit cheap, so try to find some better library. I think track in general lacks good mix and master and that’s the main problem.
Hope this helps, I wish you good luck in your future uploads!
Thanks mate!
Thank you @WaveToys! I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to the track. I will keep your comments in mind for next upload.
Best,
FYAudio
