And there is a lot of mid-tone sound in it, so I'd turn the mid-tones down a bit in eqing each track or input and maybe on the master too. I always add a little reverb to everything too. Just enough to where you can barely hear it if you are listening but not enough to wear it's obvious. That little reverb gives things a little more meat and makes them sound more full and less flat.

Best advice is to get a good idea of what mixing and mastering is then just **** with things. And I always have at least 3 different pairs of headphones. My AKG K240 studio quality ones, then a big pair of DJ/Hip Hop headphones and a pair of good ear buds. And two different speakers. All for testing. It's the worst part of doing music.
Kinda made me horny tbh. Keep doin' you, bro.
