That will bring out the natural dynamics of the song. I exaggerate if necessary.

Not scared to move stuff around a bit.

I can be analytical if there are major problems to solve, other than that it's all about the flow of the song.

It's more important than ever today when most people don't seem to play anything INTO the next part. Most stuff comes in packs of 8 bars...

Playing throughout the whole song with at least one or two of the instruments would help a lot stike stike stike

And you can always ride the master fader a bit.
Good advice! Yeah, the master fader can really do wonders, since it dynamically changes the whole mix at once resulting in a lot of additional attention on certain parts of the song... One alternative is to use automation on m/s compression/miking tracks... That sounds really cool too!
