Hey Andy, I just listened to all of your links, nice stuff man.

Here's my take on this and it ONLY concerns what Craig is telling you. Your tracks are very generic, There's no variations, no fills, no little licks, no differentiation between a verse and a chorus. Charlie is right on. You need to cut/paste parts from a whole bunch of different tracks and use the multiriff function. I'm a B3 player and pianist so I focused on those in your songs. A real B3 player would never play like that. Your track has the organ playing the exact same two chords using the same voicing all the way through. Nobody but a total amateur does that. That's why Craig said it sounds like a sampled loop or it's from a DAW. Same thing, when someone says it sounds like a DAW he means it was done in your bedroom using loops and samples.

If you were to hire a good player there would be some creativity going on, some variation, that's why an artist who's in a real studio hires somebody. It's not to just play the same boring chords for five minutes you hire somebody to put their personal soul into it and that's what Craig is looking for and apparently Youtube too. Maybe this is a brand new thing, I don't know. And since Biab is very well known, who knows how many songs have been posted on YT using these same RT's? I can see a smart AI being able to spot them, a lot have been around for years now.

Same with the piano parts. No licks, no different rhythms. Unfortunately, that's the weakness of the RT's especially on this kind of mellow material. The way around that is to use several different RT's and then cut/paste them to get the variation and licks. Frankly I'm surprised you got the one approved because it has the same problem to my ears. I like your overall song quality and your singing but the backing tracks are too bland and that's why you're getting flagged imho.
