Here's another new one. This one I feel is missing something, or maybe I've just listened to it too much. Thoughts much appreciated.
Losing You--Feedback and help

I've listened to this a couple of times and I get what you're saying about it missing something. It's a really good song with a nice arrangement and the vocal performance is good. Perhaps the style calls for more of an intimate vocal treatment. Maybe a little more compression/warmer eq on the vocal? Or maybe just bringing it up in the mix just a tiny bit will help. Maybe a few more harmonies here and there?

Hat STYLE. Not contents.
Your extraneous mouth noises (breaths, lip smacks) are really loud. I would edit them out or cut back the compression on the vox.
I might cut the compression on the vox a little regardless; they're really sitting on top of the mix now.

So, I liked the vocal where it sat, honestly, but yeah, the lead vocal could use some editing to clean up those little annoyances, and a bit of pitch work right where it does that little slide at the start of the chorus (IIRC).
That rhythm guitar backbeat could be used a little more, I don't know, artfully, I guess. It's there right at the start and goes on and on.
Biggest problem for me was there's really a few parts where it just kind of crumbles rhythmically, both with syncs of the background vocals - which you should be able to clean up with a little work, but when it does those reprises toward the end 3:15+ it's way too loose IMO. And, it goes on much longer than it needs to for me - seems like it did for you too, the way it ended!
With all that, I'd like to hear it tightened up and shortened. It's a pretty little song.

Sounds good. It's well on the way. Commenting on the songwriting, the song starts out very nicely but loses something in the chorus. I wasn't believing the last couple of lines. I would be looking to strengthen my chorus, make it hookier, and find more elegant transition at the end.

Very nice. Maybe could use a more active bass line walking around to liven things up a bit? Not a muddy bass but something with definition. May be my system but I'm hearing very little bass and what is there just sort of lives on the fundamental?
