It's not as much the fact that you used the pre-made samples..it's the extent you used them..like..you didn't mix it up with other things. For example the vocals and the piano were both part of the same pre made project, so really it was a remake at best...but not really because it's the same things. If your gonna make a remake, or remix...state it don't submit it as your original work. Hell, I used one of the preset drum loops back in 04' for Retribution, but I chopped it up and it wasn't part of the chorus or any main parts of the song so that's fine.
I would understand if you used the pre-set drums like the 808, 909, etc I have nothing against that, but It's quite a pet peeve of mine to see people create things that obviously didn't take much effort at all, then submit it. Yea, I don't mind you actually creating it, but when you submit something that took you at most and hour to make it sends a bad signal to other producers.
I'm not saying I'm better then you or anything, no where did I state that or imply it, in fact most people don't know about me or my songs...I don't even know where I stand. Hell, I've been making music for at least 4 years, probably more but I'm in no position to rank myself amongst people.
For most of the artists on here it usually takes maybe a whole day or more. I usually take at least 3 days to finish a song, sometimes more. In The Open took me a whole week.
Also, I have some other tips. Try and look around for samples, vinyl rips, etc. Don't use presets, stock samples, etc cause thats not gonna really get you anywhere.
As far as this whole thing goes...it's all Stealths decision.
