Sorry to hear about your difficulty getting some of your music accepted in the past, Guitarhacker. Personally I've not experienced that problem, but that is only because I make the decision whether to release my music for downloading or not.

Let me just clarify that in my case, there is no problem with the overall sound quality of my recordings. They have all been professionally mastered and released through LANDR to all the major online retailers. I earn the majority of my income from song downloads and have no plans to try and make money from streaming YouTube videos, so it hardly matters to me if my songs are approved for YouTube monetization or not.

The reason for this thread is to make BIAB users aware of a possible difficulty in getting a YouTube video monetized if they use audio that includes BIAB Realtracks.
LANDR approved two of my songs for YouTube monetization, and have now approved the other six after I questioned why they were rejected.
Even though it doesn't really matter to me, I was curious to know the reason why six were rejected, and I will update this thread if/when I receive a precise answer from them.
So far, I've only been told by a member of their Rescue team that it has something to do with keyboard sounds that I may have used from a DAW, but apart from the instruments that I have played myself, the only other sounds I used were the Realdrums and Realtracks from BIAB.

By all means, have a listen to the Realtrack keyboard instruments on any of the following tracks and see if you can identify why YouTube monetization was initially approved or rejected:
