Limit the symptom to 15 seconds
Do not judge the whole song first. Loop the section where "the vocal still feels buried or unstable" appears so the cause and processing change are easier to compare.

What to decide first with Surround Tools
Before reading every Surround Tools article, define the 15 seconds that bother you and the exact symptom. This hub groups the first articles and checks in the same order FUJI° uses before a free audio check.
Name one job
Use Surround Tools for one sentence such as "what surround tools fixes". If there are multiple jobs, separate recording, editing, mixing and mastering decisions.
Define the rollback point
Before moving format, level-match before and after processing. A louder setting is easy to mistake for a better setting.
Information that speeds up a quote
- A 15-sec audio URL and timestamp
- One symptom sentence such as buried, harsh or thin
- Both vocal-only and instrumental playback
- A reference track and why you like it
