RECOMMENDED
Most people don’t really think or judge music this way.
What makes a great mix? Well, most producers will tell you
a great performance and great arrangement mixes itself.
There’s a reason for this.
But the whole goal is to make the listener hear and feel a
song in the artist’s intended way.
The point is: Figure out how the song is meant to hit the
listener. The more you can figure this out, the stronger of a
foundation you have for your mix.
Figuring out how each part interacts gives you context for
your mix. If the parts contrast in feel, perhaps they should
contrast tonally or dynamically as well.
5. Think of Associations
Literal meaning tends to be underwhelming in a song. A
literal meaning in a song would be when the performer tells
the listener what to feel. It can be useful to a degree, but
ultimately you want the listener to find their own emotions
in the song.
Conclusion
And that’s how you make the best mix.

If you have solid tracks with a great tune it's not to hard as
long as you have a good desk and decent automation.

Its the bit that takes the longest to get right. I have been
involved in hundreds of tracks and it still is the most
technically challenging part of music.
