With all these elaborate but interesting speculations about why Landr rejected a BIAB song I am surprised no one mentioned the obvious (and likely) reason for rejection.

BIAB produces identical riffs for users of the product! And these riffs alone, if detected by software, would be sufficient to get you a rejection.

The odds of your BIAB song containing a riff identical to my BIAB song are actually pretty good!

1) if we both choose a BIAB style that includes distinctive riff(s)

2) if we both use similar key and chords

3) if we both use a similar tempo

Not a lot of other factors that I am aware of. I can almost hear someone saying "yeah but odds are it won't happen" and I admit maybe it is not highly likely but it is something I worry about in my songs.

As an example let's say BIAB 2020 comes out December 1 with a cool new style that attracts a lot of attention from BIAB users. And that style includes distinctive riffs since the RealTracks do seem to be getting more complex.

A lot of songs are written in a handful of common keys. And it is also pretty common to write songs around 120 bpm.

All it takes is two BIAB users writing a song using those new distinctive riffs in a common key and bpm and Landr (or other online systems) may quite easily detect the second one as a copy!
