My opinion may be flawed, but it's still something to think about.
Everyone's talking about the impact on musicians and music, but what about the most likely illegal use of copyrighted material? Music companies with big money for lawyers, successful musicians with big money for lawyers, can get money/license fees for their material being illegally used to train AI models, but what about the hundreds of thousands, or is it millions, of unsigned music creators whose creations are being used? I checked some AI resources (academic use) and came across Jamendo collection (Dataset is made available solely for non-commercial research and academic use) but you could download and use it, it's just 508 GB ;), tools for ripping audio (wav) from YouTube based on genre. In my opinion, AI is probably based on theft. Why theft? Have you all, and all other music creators around the world, given these AI training material collectors permission to rip your/their songs and/or acapellas for free for commercial use by AI? If not, then it's illegal commercial use of copyrighted material, right?
Most likely I'm stupid...
I love the flow of the pulsating synth with the bass and drums topped with the vocal and vox, banger :) This reminds me not to drown my tracks with lead synths.
WOW, what an experience, loving it. Had to listen on my pc as my browser repeatedly stopped the play, due to that I played the track in foobar2000 and additionally enjoyed the unfolding movie in the spectrogram that you created with the instruments and effects :)
Thanx Frans.
Ja de foto is van Spanje wat nu helaas in het vergeethoekje zit door mijn vervelende thuiskomst.Maar de coctails waren daar super groot en lekker lol.
Oops, a misunderstanding, nothing wrong with your track, I just tried to pinpoint the differences between before and after your update, as my hearing isn't perfect I used my DAW (Reaper) to detect the changes and wrote them down, a nasty habit from me, getting technical.
But again, loving your track.
Hey Brother,,, no misunderstanding and cherish input. You pointed out things forcing me to re-visit and made those improvements in time. Fresh ears listening helps find things over-sought from being humans with flaws,, lol...
Version 3 is up,, have one area maybe in question regarding vocal time?.
Thanks, SJ
Checked in in Reaper as my ears aren't good enough, my findings:
.
Changes:
1) Little bit in the mastering.
2) De-essing.
3) 0:55 - 1:05 vocal timing and streched?
4) 2:08 - 2:40 vocal timing.
.
How I discovered basics:
1) Pull the downloaded files version 1 and 2 into DAW (Reaper).
2) Align both using peaks in the wave form.
3) Covert both files to mono.
4) Pan both hard (1st mono on Left,2nd mono on Right).
5) Listen using headphone to prevent reflections.
.
Details:
1) The little changes in mastering can be seen in the difference of the wave form.
2) De-essing can be seen in the difference of the wave form, i.e. 0:26 the word "changing" produces a spike in v1 but not in v2.
3) Vocal timing can be heard as the vocal sounds more stereo due to the time shift and slowly becomes an echo due to the stretch.
4) Vocal timing can be heard as the vocal sounds more stereo due to the time shift.

Most likely I missed more :)
Thanks frenZ, Appreciate the input and suggestions and hear you.
If track ever comes to be, worry about it then. some anonymizes are from running a phaser on rendered down two track to give more life. Her voice is strange and difficult to work, you'd think cutting out low registers would help but nope. lol,, I know you know it takes me a few times to time vox correctly cause i go loco form the over and over.... BTW: not mastered.... Trust your ears and less the analysis especially when real instruments. My Best....
I like this, lovely beat and great use of the vocals, the effects made the vocals float in space, love that. It's clear to me that I need to practice the reverb some more.
