You could try recording something to your best ability, then post it here, listing the things you'd like to achieve, the things you are unhappy with, and the things you'd like advice on.

Without hearing what you have and what you can do, it's seems very hard to give any advice.

yeah sorry I really have to post this to get the idea of it across.
right this is my rough layout of the album/possible track-listing

I want to aim for a gorillaz sounding album/ watery robot style album.
And I would like to be able have it listenable, structures made more complex, better sound palate, I hope to have singing included and everything mixed in it its proper place. these songs are just rough attempts.

I might be able to get someone that I know to record parts live for me. But just to get my skills up I want to try to do it all on the DAW I use first to see how far I can get/ get better.

I would like advice on how to copy/replicate mastering/ styles of mixing from famous artists or generally just how to mix. if there is straightforward ways to copy mixing styles then that would be perfect.

My ideas are pretty experimental so maybe some advice on how to make an album with unusual set of sounds thrown in together might help.

Most of the songs structure is all over the place- but some experimental music has that at its core anyway. So I'm getting really confused on how to take them further.

thanks.
