When arranging #music, try changing 2 or more things at once: New bass line? Change slightly your drums and EQ something else.
Or bring in 2 instruments at the same time.
Or change the width of your synths and their depth each time you change section.

It will make your music feel more organic and also more #pro.

Beware of the proximity effect if you're recording with a mic. Especially if you double track. It'll result in muddy mixes.

Sharp cut the low mids somewhere between 100-160Hz and you'll get clarity.

There's only proximity effect with cardioid mics, but they represent 85% of the market so it's kind of universal.

I use the audio #plugin x42EQ for this a lot but any EQ where you can tweak the bell will do.

Have you already tried using 2 #compressors in serie when #mixing your #music?
It will usually sound more transparent if you combine 2*3dB gain reduction than 6dB in one go.

On dynamic material, use a first compressor that's fast, and only shaving the peaks, not compressing all the time.
Then add a slow compressor, for example an optical comp, with a low ratio and low threshold, compressing all the time a little. It will bring consistency to the track, making it sound fat too.

Listening fatigue make your ears stupid. Take a break from producing, mixing or mastering at least every 2 hours.

Now, go make some noise and make people listen to it!
