Chatbot

Week 3 done, beating my 2024 record of 2 weeks!
I'm still trying to figure out how to do vocals well, since I only really started doing them in last week's entry, so any feedback on that front would be much appreciated!

This week's song is about AI usage by people in "important" positions, and how the safety of workers (i.e. me) is sometimes in the hands of a glorified chatbot.

I like the track and the idea, you incorporated "choirs" when it made sense, which is like 60% of vocal production, I think.
In terms of mixing, the main bass in the chorus could be treated to leave a little more space for the vocals to be "center stage", perhaps carved out in the mids.
The vocals itself sound mid-heavy. When setting an EQ, try to imagine what a voive would sound like if the person was standing right in front of you. Might give some pointers as to what to boost in the highs/lows, what to cut from the mids. But I'm also digging the lofi sound, sooo
