Pale Blue Dot (Work in progress)

First I need to mention. Everything is composed and recorded by me. The exception is the vocals that for now is an AI placeholder. I've still composed the vocal tune. I used a mix of guitar and my own voice to record the melody and had AI replace my singing to get a feel of what it'll sound like. I have a horrible voice and found that this process is great for my friend who actually can sing instead of me trying to explain he has this AI blueprint to follow. It'll probably be a while before we find the time to actually record however.

How does the mix sound so far? I've been trying to get the snare drum to sound good in the chorus. During the verse it's just a digital snare but I wanted to use accoustic drums in the chorus. I tried mixing in a digital snare with the accoustic one in the chorus to make it a bit fatter. Does it sound good or does it still need some tweaking? I would love to get something really huge like the snare drum from "Muse - Guiding Light", but I can't seem to get it to sound that huge and snappy.

I really like the feel of the organ, but does it get to messy in the chorus?

Would love some overall feedback on the song and mix and how I can improve it.

Cheers!

Post it with a real singer. AI music isn't music.

Completely agree.

I think this is really great. Cool composition. Interesting song. Dig the lyrics and the subject matter. I like everything about it. But I also absolutely agree that it would be that much more impressive if you had a human being singing that part or something close to it. But yeah generally well done sir.

We've talked about this here before. I just wanted to mention that I appreciate you being transparent about the AI vocal.

Yeah when it comes to AI I'm against including it in the final product and using it for composing. But I do find that it has its uses. I find it extremely useful to visualise melodies for vocals. I can have a melody for the vocals but when I record with my own voice it just sounds awful. Turning my own voice to AI as a temporary blueprint/placeholder while still having composed the actual melody have been exremely helpful to get a feel of what it could sound like from an actual singer.

As I mentioned, I fully intend to get this recorded, and the AI blueprint speeds up the process since the singer can just listen and replicate.
