Help to understand why the track was rejected? Thank you

Hey @Soundside -

You've got some really nice elements here. The main delayed electric guitar riff is really cool! Well done. Nice arrangement, melody and overall harmonic choices, IMO.

However a few things that jumped out to me were:

1. The snare is too hot in the mix, and your hi-hat and cymbals are not present enough (try boosting around 8kHz to fix that)
2. Your piano probably needs some EQ cuts at around 200-300Hz because it sounds muddy to my ears when you play the chords in your B-section.
3. Most instruments are very central in the stereo field...maybe consider a stereo widening plugin.
4. The ending doesn't resolve (despite the piano chord playing the I-chord) because of your last-played delayed guitar note...and most clients want a nice resolve on the ending.

Anyway, just a few thoughts, hope you can get it accepted!
