I've been making music for years but never truly faced the challenge of finishing tracks. I'd come up with an idea, a riff or a melody and then when the excitement wore thin, I'd ditch the project for a new one. The classic 'unfinisher' or '8 bar wonder'!
Here I am now trying to master mixing (to a standard I would regard as 'industry level') and the results are continually disappointing, incredibly inconsistant standards across different tracks and similar to the story of Goldilocks, my mixes are always 'too' or 'not enough' something... too bright/too dull, too boomy/too nasally etc.
I've attached a rough mix that is slowly progressing but it feels like 1 step forward and 2 back some days. I share it so you can see where I am roughly at...warts and all.

I would like to ask those working at a level beyond mine to share that one magic tip/technique/approach/guide that took their music to the next level?
If you can shape your advise to address issues in my mix, even better!
Gracias
