Just because some stuff is all over the place it doesn't mean that's where you should aim for...!There is literally TONS of dance tracks released where the compression and mix is just all over the place so I wouldn’t worry to much about it
After years of trial and error I came to realize that working on the mix before hand is way more beneficial than the final task
After the music itself, plus extra production, sound design and arrangement... Yes for sure the mix is the most important thing.
I see it like this:
If your mix is bad, mastering can make a huge difference - but you'll only get so much of the full potential.
A decent mix, mastering will make less difference, but you'll be able to get a better overall track.
For a really good mix, the mastering will make less difference still, but will allow you to reach the tracks full potential.
Like it or not, theres stuff you can do in mastering that you just can't do as well when mixing.
