Lingua Funqa's 'Just One Minute' (EquilibriumMIX) - Equilibrium - 07-11-2021
I wanted a vintage sound. I got it in the end, but it's not entirely clear if it's a good thing. Any opinions on that?

I think you have done a good job here to make it sound good with a nice balance. There is something about the kick that makes it feels sometimes a tiny bit too loud, at least on my monitors. Anyway, good job. Cheers!

Hi!
Not sure it sounds vintage? It's got too much high end in it to be 70's / too much low end to be 80's I think!
. Might be fun to try putting the mix through one of those 'vinyl' plugins though. Yeah I too think it's a decent mix. For me I think I do prefer a little more reverb/delay on the strings for this kind of thing though perhaps? I agree with Heinim that there is something regarding the kick. It sounds to me that there could be an eq boost on the low end that needs tightening up a little perhaps? Or maybe it needs a tight eq boost on the low end so it can poke through and be a little lower in the mix, something like that? It kind of 'blooms' rather than punches. Worth taking a quick look at I would think, as everything else is in good shape here.
Cheers!

Thanks for the comments. Blossoming bass and crunchy treble probably isn't the best option. At one point I found the idea tempting. However, this concept hardly sounds right in this song.
