Yes, Radiohead. My all-time favourite band. That’s the only band I’ve ever properly binged on. It’s easy to do because most of their albums are very different from each other; so once I’m sick of one, I can just move onto a different one

+1 Radiohead is my favourite band ever too, I can listen to them for ever.

Yes, I now know 3 Radiohead fans! haha. My barber, my friend that I live with and you. Despite them beng insanely well known, a lot of people I meet really don’t like them.

Too many bourbons tonight… (Wife out so I’m blasting music and smoking/drinking having a lovely time). You guys rock. Thanks for bringing so much good new music into my life this year.

Smoking smoking, or just plain smoking? That is the question. Just wondering, what kind of music are you into, let’s just say, at the moment? Otherwise this could start a HUGE discussion!

Edit: Just realised what I’ve done, made things completely off topic of the thread, sorry!

Edit 2: I see everyone already joking around anyway haha Mat Steiner, always the comedian

May I strongly suggest following (in no particular order) CHA!, gballx, matsteiner, phil larson, light lotus, gareth coker, audiophile, alumo audio, vizion, uj-pro, lumen_media, soundfix, bluefox, lucafrancini, delgibbons, studio etude, pinkzebra, soundroll, martinjdebont, waderman and dirtyflint. There are so many more but for me those guys are essential and write most of the best music here. In my humble opinion.

Just as the others have said, I am very chuffed that you put me up there with these guys! Cheers Jamie

My votes are for two up and coming AJ authors who produce extremely high quality, well written music:

One of the most beautiful cinematic tracks I’ve heard here in the jungle by Light Lotus Productions – http://audiojungle.net/item/a-forgotten-tale/4437736

Anybody who whines about file rejection on the forums is damaging their own potential sales. Hey look everybody, buyers included…my music keeps getting turned down….surely that sends out the wrong message and harms you image and buyer confidence? It’s just not good publicity.

I wish I’d thought to mention that that too Rev. Thought crosses my mind every time I see an author in the community forums direct negativity towards their profile, portfolio, talent, professionalism and image. Hard rejected? Why in the name of science do you want to announce that to your peers and purchasers? Harden up princess. Fix it and move on.

Oswwald – congrats on your first post but I have no idea what you just said…. no matter how hard I try, it just doesn’t make any sense. Sorry man. I think you are wrong though… I think. I could be wrong about that.

just want to find a buyer, do not think I’m whining or complaining, interesting view of the more experienced people.I just communicate through an interpreter, could therefore not be heard very well the meaning of your answer I do not quite understand)) anyway thanks for the answer) I would like poobschatsya personally, if you have time

What’s a poobschatsya?

Sky I agree with you 100%. Just a hunch, but I think the general consensus among authors that quality needs to be improved overall has been heard by AJ. The recent evidence points to this.

As is common knowledge, submissions have increased enormously and with that comes a surge in quality work and surge in sub-par work – hence prices going up recently. I’m guessing at the ratio, but I suspect it’s around 1 good track to every 3 not so good tracks. Given that anyone in the world who can pass the test can open an account and submit audio, it’s probably higher than that ratio on certain days.

We should be grateful that we only get to hear the stuff that is posted on the site. Can’t imagine how tiresome it must be for a music lover (I assume they all are based on the evidence) to trawl through hours of sub-par music/audio every day to find the gold amongst the refuse. It’s like a cinephile being forced to watch 1980s direct to video b-grade garbage for a large chunk of his/her day to finally get to see Jaws or Citizen Kane (insert your fave movie here). But at random, in 2 minutes chunks, with crap in between – always. Every day.

This is a music marketplace, not a free music critique service. Hard rejected? – boo hoo. AJ is not here to validate you as a musician. Can’t figure out how to improve your tracks on your own?..find a collaborator. Don’t start a thread to moan about it if that’s possible…

As always, I couldn’t have put it better myself Jamie.

Just listening to some of best quality stuff on AJ puts me back in my place and I think anyone that has a track hard rejected should do the same; listen to top quality AudioJungle tunes in the same genre and ask yourself, ‘What’s the difference between this and my rejected track?’ The difference should be very clear.

Not sure what kind of reply you want but here’s some honest feedback on the track:

Sound quality seems to be okay. It’s very monotonous, doesn’t seem to to be any variation of any of the melody/drums/chords. Maybe try bringing in some string harmonies, different piano rhythms, maybe bring some more percussion in (bongos, fingers snaps?). There’s some ideas anyway.

Hope this helps

Thank you Soundfix, but it’s a hard rejection. If they wanted changes in the song, I would have received a soft rejection. Here, they told me “cannot be resubmitted”. I don’t know what’s wrong, so how can I make the good changes ?

I guess they didn’t hear the potential. I think the best thing to do would be to get working on a new track, and remind them that you can make great music

Hi, take a look this Video (all 5 parts) i hope it will help you.

I know that the reviewer will not change his decision, but on the other hand it does not necessarily mean that he was right this time

The reviewers are responsible for making that call, they know what sounds good and what sells here on AudioJungle. Accept it and move on, make a better track
